Indeed i did right after that call Sounds like you’re just absolutely shite as a mentor, and should probably resign from your job, and this forum, in shame. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That causes resentment, there's no doubt about that !!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I see barely employable cretins are still blaming the pc brigade for them being barely employable cretins. I'd have been CEO by now if all the CEO jobs weren't taken by 1 legged Ghanaian lesbians. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self-raising Lazarus Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 For those saying potential candidates for jobs are not assessed on their gender race or orientation, they sadly are. I have 2 close friends who work in HR and have been explicitly told by their bosses to 'boost female recruitment' regardless of who is the most suited to the role. Clearly this isn't the case across the board but it does happen, thankfully both told their superiors they would not do so. Regards to Souness, if he was commentating on a woman's game then its daft, but its two male teams on the pitch, totally overblown by the media as per usual. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly this isn't the case across the board but it does happen, thankfully both told their superiors they would not do so And rightly so, the law states that you can positively discriminate to adjust gender bias in roles, but only if (for example) both candidates are equally qualified and suitable. To do otherwise would show gender bias against the male candidate - I am sure your friends in HR know this hence telling their daftie bosses to bolt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 57 minutes ago, BFTD said: Who are the incompetent ethnic and LGBT+ people who've been fast tracked ahead of white straight people who would do the job better? What are the "all sorts" that you're about to be accused of for for saying this out loud? Is this something that's happened to you personally, or anyone you know? We recently received an e-mail from HR stating that they were running a Management fast track scheme and that all us managers had to identify people in our teams with "talent", however anyone identifying as LGBT+ or from an ethnic background were to be enrolled in the scheme automatically if they wished to progress. I would also add that you are the one that's used the word "incompetent", not I. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always they react with childish memes, sarcastic posts, wee red dots and nonsensical arguments rather than attempting to discuss anything like adults. They must be permanently offended..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been told to send LGBT+ or people from an ethnic background to this course at the expense of other people? Are you aware of the trend for people to advance those from a similar background to themselves, rather than those best equipped for the job? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
