Woke HRs

HRs in my company are so woke they've now added gender neutral washrooms. Already have a feeling this will become a new makeout spot for office couples.

My problem is not with having gender neutral washrooms. My problem is with the distractions this kind of activities bring in. Today it's the washroom, tomorrow it'll be something else but a company with 1000s of employees will re-shape itself just so that 1 turd can feel comfortable. And even after doing 100s of these gymnastics when a company misses 1 edge case. That turd will go out of its way to announce to the world how the company is not inclusive, they'll ensure to victimize themselves and make money in that process. It's very hard to fire these turds because when you fire them for incompetence they think they got fired for being turd and create a scene for it. When a company focuses on anything but making money, it's already lost its purpose and on the path to slow and public humiliating death.

Gender neutral washrooms seem basic enough considering there’s evidence that typical division into male and female isn’t completely right. I see your point about pandering to the crowd and losing the way out, and like you said ppl might complain about random thing that hasn’t made them feel inclusive in some vague sense. But that aside, we need to cater to basic needs of folks to make them feel inclusive irrespective. Having a gender neutral washroom was controversial 15years ago, seems all fine and in line with the present status quo right. Just that we have to talk about these things on a case to case basis instead of generalising

Name and shame the company. HR needs to be fired or the company will probably go out of business in few months

The company will not go out of business because it's on track to clock a 'B' in revenue in the next 5 years. The outcome we have here is because someone in the HR dept had to justify their existence in company and their salary and wanted to make noise hoping it gets them a double digit appraisal this year.

Woke gender ideology in companies ?

Work in US company in India and recently company is encouraging everyone to put pronouns and start promoting rainbow stuff on LinkedIn. Told my boss that my resignation is in my draft folder and will be sent as soon as company forces to peddle woke pronouns and LGBTQ ideology. I respect them but don’t want to go over the board promoting it. Top performer and can get offers easily so not really worried.

Mine is no non-veg in office campus. I once asked it team meeting and the question was ignored.

Diversity Hiring

My company is only hiring females for most of the positions. Now I dont really care about the gender/race/religion of the people getting hired but they must have right skillset and attitude. But most of the candidates who have been hired have none of these two. My team has almost 50 percent female candidates but they have been into the team for almost 6 months but still don't perform upto the mark. In some cases, college freshers are able to get the job done faster than these folks. Availability is also a big challenge and it's difficult to approach them to work beyond working hours even for small things that would take 30 mins or 1 hour. They just reply by saying I have logged ofr for the day. And manager would ask a guy to do the job. And let me confirm that the management expect us to be available 24/7 as its a business and operationally driven company. The manager dont ask females to work after working hours in most of the cases. They only work after working when the entire team is working. If its the individual owner who has to act, tgen it surely goes to any male guy. and everyone is super pissed of because despite working and giving more than 100 percent, the teams productivity doesn't justify the head counts. In my experience, diversity hiring should be done with caution. Candidates hired should have almost same level of knowledge and skillset as of the team and they should be told about the work culture, expectations at the time of hiring. Also people who don't need a job should avoid joining such culture as they aren't not sincere about their job and will be hated by everyone in the team due to these differences. Recently When I raised this concern to my manager, he said that I should avoid saying all this as it or else if this goes to HR, cases of posh may be slaaped onto me. I am really pissed off, planning to change the job asap. Not sure what kind of work culture have we created....
