   DEI jobs like "are you brown or mentally ill enough for this position?"
   
   I'd be really disgusted being considered for a job just because of my race or some disability

     @kaia as opposed to the non-DEI hire that gets hired because he's a white male sociopath.

     @kaia anyway an example of how it worked at a 'woke' company that i worked for (facebook) is that hiring managers needed quotas in the _hiring process_ (pre-interview)
     
     so you needed to have some women / POC / etc be interviewed, and then making it through the interview process is up to merit (and preexisting biases, really)
     
     so basically this incentivizes hiring managers to actively seek out talented women so that they can hire more people in general
     
     this also means if you're female you're basically getting invited to more interviews and getting rejected, which sucks

     @kaia To me it's ok, as long as you still get responsibility and work that matters to the company.
     Some just hire you at low pay to do something completely meaningless for 8 hours, just to pad statistics and meet regulations. That really sucks when you're capable, but only there to fill a slot.

     @oblomov @kaia sociopathy is a mental illness so it’s DEI
