holy shit is that an industry publication, are those numbers reliable?

oh my god that's the best article I've read since the last best article I read

Really?

wow

Is my island saved?

no, islam will fuck you still

but there might be hope for some other countries if these statistics get spread around to talking heads

"The data comes from a jobseekers' site. Presumably it's the advertised salaries that are 10% higher. "

yes but there's plenty of other good numbers in the article, from all sorts of industries

hmm

http://making.duolingo.com/how-duolingo-achieved-a-5050-gender-ratio-for-new-software-engineer-hires

"We secured the best new graduates for software engineering roles, but we noticed something: they were all male. We made a number of offers to female candidates, but none accepted. The result? An all-male hiring class that didn’t reflect Duolingo’s values around a diverse workforce."

that must be like literally so traumatizing you guys

To be fair I hate 100% male working environment

yeah in my experience 100% male environments often automatically degrade to the lowest common denominator

"For the purpose of this post, we are referring to male and female genders, although we recognize that many other genders exist. ↩"

Lol wtf am i reading you guys advocating for some level of diversity?

I had a all male dept and it was turning into a Frat House

I was going to hire a woman

but I had good candidate lined up

RIGGED

I haven't really made up my mind on the issue - in an office environment, it can certainly be a positive thing to have both men and women present, as long as they're not allowed to organize meetings or run any departments

at the same time, personally I count that under the word "diversity"

I _don't_ count that, I mean

What do you mean by run depts and organise meetings?

I mean wouldn't you guys normally classify that as diversity - because you are replacing male hires for women?

that article, yes, they are fuckwits who should be shot

Oh yea i wouldn't advocate for 50/50, but do you agree it shouldn't be 100/0?

not necessarily

I wanted a woman to balance the atmosphere in the dept, if there had not been a suitable woman I would have had to hire another dude.

Luckily I knew someone ideal

I It should be whatever a meritocratic approach leads to. @Emoished

Because there will inevitably be some women who are better at a typical quote on quote "man's" job, for lack of a better term, it will not be 100/0

And by "man's" job I mean jobs usually with a larger percentage of men than women working in them

Also she didn't have to say yes

Here is my problem - i will use schools for an example - entering into university the universities do not just want to look at your atainment grades, but also the circumstances that you had when you atained them; So people who go to private school should (in some cases) be turned down in favior of people who have had a much more difficult upbringing yet obtained similar or maybe slighly lower grades. I would say that universities should do this because this will be a better measure of "latent talent" - rather than raw performance.

ok, but I'm talking about gender

Granted I have not made the link between gender/ ethnic diversity and economic background here - I very much acknowledge this

Why do I care how rich someones Mummy and Daddy are? I'm hiring them
