That's a bit like saying that if you want to sail from Europe to America, you should jump in a boat and let the wind take you there naturally. Don't touch the sails.
The entire hypothesis behind a formal DEI program -- whether or not you agree with it -- is that DEI doesn't happen naturally. Humans tend to gravitate toward (I.E. hire) people similar to themselves for various reasons, and that has to be purposely shifted if the organization is aiming for diversity. If they don't care where they end up, that's a different story.
If population of one group of people grow, then it will naturally have bigger representation. That works for everything.
I find it more fascinating that it applies only to areas that either not require hard work (physical) or have high pay. Like I do not see movements towards hiring more male nurses or female oil drillers. Even taxi drivers.
The story is implying that whenever this happens to you -- forgetting why you came into a room -- the truth is that you were attacked by a vampire that made you forget the reason you were there, as well as the attack itself.
Not quite. Cost savings is only one of the many things that can lure a customer toward a purchase. While Louis Vuitton would love to keep costs low, they wouldn't do it at the expense of their status as a luxury brand.
"Bean counter" logic implies putting cost savings above all else, like maybe Walmart or Amazon would do.
I hope airplane customers (the airlines) care as much about safety as they do cost savings, since their customers certainly do.
I don't think I've ever once been "break-checked" in 15 years of driving. Is that something that only happens to people who habitually drive too close to the car in front of them? (Tailgating as we call it here.)
Aside: If you don't mind sharing; which url and reader are you using? Either my reader or url is so slow that I only saw the amended title in my feed. My url tries to grab only the most popular posts, so that may be the largest contributor, but I'd love to know if there's a faster way.
Sure this works for creative endeavors. Now what would motivate someone to pick fruit in the summer Sun? Or clean toilets in a corporate office?
Sure you could say, "there are some people who just enjoy picking fruit." But are there enough people to satisfy the demand? And even if there are, what do you do with them as that demand decreases? The people who love picking fruit will have to clean toilets.
