I've noticed a few postings with this title. Does anyone have first hand experience on what this means?

It's like an HR position but you're specialized in destroying the finance industry from the inside

stuff looks like it takes forever to type
It’s like an HR position for people with no real skills that’s subsidized by companies trying to virtue signal
I think the role entails taking pictures for company brochures and slide shows
our diversity teams:
- create new programs for URMs
- adjust existing programs based on internal/external feedback
- check on latest legislation regarding minority inclusion
- follow national news to get a better understanding of race relations and how they affect certain industry aspects, perceived or not
- approach colleges where (more) minorities attend in order to understand whether there is the possibility of cooperation
- check internally whether (on average), minorities are paid less and report to SLT
this is a new team we have
Breaking news, at 50% URM (irony) representation, your company is still not woke enough.
Also read "privileged" minority disinclusion.
Aka coming up with some random BS rational written by someone on Medium instead of actually researching shit.
Also known as data manipulation. All of a sudden some janitors are counted being underpaid minority employees. Gasp.
In 2020, Wage gap is mostly a myth. You do the same job, you get paid the same in most industries regardless of who you are.
thanks for the feedback. just wanted to clarify that these ideas are not from me, this team does not work for me and I have nothing to do with them directly.
But I understand that different people have different views on this.
I work for a European company with (almost) zero minorities working for them and with very conservative, Christian views. to be clear: in the past, if you weren't a White European you wouldn't be working at my company. they are trying to change that, as impossible as it may seem.
Europe is such a different animal compared to the US. some of it is cultural, some is just the fact almost no minorities live in EU nations. (not all of the EU looks like London).
“Commissar” would be a more appropriate title
.
because HR jobs are not seen as "real jobs" compared to FO positions.
Dude, HR jobs ARE real jobs!!! Do you realize how many hours per week they spend working to make our lives miserable???
Cuz there's a smart way to be more inclusive and then there's a dumb way.
Most companies do the latter.
I gone to a diversity meeting recently by curiosity. Diversity means recruiting women's (Yes : 50% of womens in earth so why are they 0,5% in top management, top job ?).
My first job in finance was absolute BS. Once, a year or two in they made us go through a 'workplace violence' seminar with outside instructors and everything. They went through various instances of workplace violence and disciplinary actions for each. Then about 45 minutes in they said "committing suicide in the workplace is an act of workplace violence." and skipped the second part. I couldn't help myself: My hand shot up and I asked "What are the standard disciplinary procedures against an employee that commits suicide in the workplace?"
Given the fact that they answered with "moving on..." I'm very happy I got out of there.
Oh yeah, you told this story in another thread before. Fucking hilarious, still makes me crack up!
You specialize in wasting everyone else's time, and posting LinkedIn articles about how to be "Antiracist"
dang see y'all (@ the commenters on this thread) in the gulag!
I wonder how many people have gotten cancelled or gotten bad reps at their jobs for not posting about the latest social "activist" trend on their social media.
lmaooo HR boutta go check if you posted a black square on insta
It's like an HR position for people with no real skills that's subsidized by companies trying to virtue signal
It's just a role for the "free the nipple" girls who refuse to shave their armpits
Banks hiring what otherwise would be unqualified candidates exclusively from minority backgrounds so the bank doesn't look as bad when they're caught laundering money for drug cartels and processing funds for pedophiles.
Diversity doesn't mean what it used to even 10 years ago.
Today it means
1. Women
2. LGBTQ
3. Women
4. Did I mention women
