4 interns in my team, 1 male and 3 are female. Only 1(Male) is from core CS Branch and rest are all from non CS branches.
The 3 are learning how to code in python and this 1 intern is blowing all the tasks that we are giving.
I can see the fear of HR on my manager’s face at each standup. For if he fails the 3 non performing interns and gives only 1 PPO.
Diversity and inclusion is corrupting all orgs now a days. Just to meet diversity criteria less skilful people are hired. In our company just to achieve goal of 50-50 we are hiring (also interviewing) people for SDE-2 role who should not be working as an intern as well. But company is still pushing for diversity hiring
Its like boys will become general category students in long term
I would like to believe that you are not biased and genuinely concerned about the situation. Here’s what I would have done (I am a gender minority and have men and women reporting to me).
The last thing I would want for someone who hasn’t been performing well, to feel that there’s some hostility towards them, and either favourism or discrimination owing to their gender/age.
The manager is more experienced to figure things out (ideally) and not the intern.
Diversity and inclusion can be quite impactful if things are done correctly and not just for HRs to flaunt on LinkedIn.
But, again do analyse if there’s any kind of sexism or bias at play. That ofcourse cannot really be helped.
Empathy > Corporate Nonsense
This might work if both you (mentor) and the mentee (intern) speak the same language. I see my senior struggling to explain how to Google or run an ide or what is a for loop in python to someone. Nobody wants the intern to fail however nobody has time for hand holding too.
What is the problem with giving less PPO's, that a manager is afraid to fail?
Idk but I think it would look like that only boys are given PPO”s
If Indian men want to be sissies who can't speak out and blindly embrace deranged ideologies dumped on them from the West, they deserve it. You sowed it, you reap it now. Hail liberalism.
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 hire...

Last week I was walking downstairs near the Chai Sutta spot. I spotted many new faces/interns. We have a cohort of interns right now some of whom will potentially get a PPO.
Some were vaping. Some were smoking cigarettes. But fuckin...
