People who are anti-diversity hiring need to go to a doctor.

Hi community, Wanted to know why MNCs give priority to hire girls over deserving folks? Got multiple calls and messages from juniors both from college and others that companies are hiring in the ratio of 8 girls to 1 boy. Is there any specific thing that the companies gain by this? Really saddened by this current scenario, first this reservation scenario, and now this diversity shit. Seems like it is a curse to be born as a General Male in this country.

Title. I want to know the opinions of both men and women regarding this of why they are for or against diversity hiring.

Seeing a lot of tweets in twitter where influencers are fighting over Diversity hiring. Your views?

The budgets have been cut for diversity hiring. This is also in response to a lawsuit from conservative groups. Is it happening in IDCs too?

I understand that most of the tech community is men, and probably in this community as well. But some of y'all just make me lose hope, in seeing how pathetic your thought processes are. Women don't need to work cause India's GDP doesn't demand so? Excuse me? Have you heard of financial independence. Some of us want that. The next thing is diversity hiring. Diversity hiring is needed because of regressive thought processes like these that discourage and inhibit the progress of women in the workplace. Women in general, have to go through a lot more in comparison to men in life. Consider an example: You are a guy going to university, you mom does everything for you, you have enough time to study and do everything you want, go out with friends. Now another girl in your class might be expected to do housework, along with studies. If she doesn't score well she is threatened to be married off. As a result she only has so much time to study and not do extra curricular activities, while the guy can do all of that just because of the privilege of being male. This is why the bar of entry is lowered, so that women who are struggling in life, fighting their way through these odds can progess in life. Even if women who don't have these situations benefit, even if it benefits one person, makes their life better. How does it even bother you? Instead you want to make thier lives hell by shitting on them as diversity hire. Please learn empathy. Learn to respect and understand the struggles of others, regardless of their gender. Also acknowledge that as a male you have more privileges than women, because we are in a patriarchal society, which is why women need a helping hand sometimes.

For me it is that sometimes I quote 2x the time it will take for me to code something because I want to test it better and ensure that I don't push code with bugs that affects prod deployment with downtime or unintended behaviour. I can do it faster but I know that PMs don't respect developer time and will ask me to build stuff because they want to get promoted for real.

I want to share my experience as a fresher at Accenture, my first company from a college placement. The first six months were fine, but then I faced severe mental harassment from my supervisor and manager. She constantly criticized my work and gave negative feedback, causing me immense stress. I often skipped meals and worked weekends to improve, but nothing helped. Despite reporting the issue and requesting a supervisor change or a different track, my requests were ignored. The harassment worsened, affecting my physical health, and I couldn't eat or sleep properly. My manager controlled trivial aspects like where to sit and whom to talk to, making the situation unbearable. I was even forced to switch from a developer role to a tester, despite being trained as a developer. The final straw was being placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) without a clear reason, with the same harassing individuals assessing me. I only had 1.9 years of experience then. I reported the mental harassment to HR and resigned due to deteriorating health, panic attacks, and weight loss. Despite having no other job offer, I couldn't continue. Even during my notice period, I was forced to complete PIP assignments, which led to suicidal thoughts and further health issues. Now, I am jobless, feeling helpless and frustrated. With less than 2 of experience, I struggle to find offers in a down IT market and don't know what to do next.

After this all college guy diversity hiring e-lafda. I got the importance of pseudonymous platforms like Grapevine where we can rant out our opinions without getting canceled. By the way what do you think on this diversity hiring thing it was pretty same as ranting about reservations which mostly people do.
