Florida “anti-woke” law rattles employer diversity programs: are they on the way out?

State “anti-woke” law rattles employer diversity programs: are they on the way out?

I certainly hope so, they are rights violating.

Good. Crap like "Members of one race, color, sex, or national origin are morally superior to members of another" is employee abuse that should get your ass sued off, and in Florida, it will.

They should have no future anywhere in the United States. Mandating abuse of employees like: "That an individual, by virtue of his or her race, color, sex, or national origin, is inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously" should have no future anywhere in the United States.

That won't be a loss. Mandating the unjust slander of the innocent with the claim "That an individual’s moral character or status as either privileged or oppressed is necessarily determined by his or her race, color, sex, or national origin" is the height of rights violating vulgarity.

Good. It's an unjust abuse of Florida Employees. What kind of an abusive clown would, from a position of power over another, subject them to the lie that "That an individual, by virtue of his or her race, color, sex, or national origin, bears responsibility for … actions committed in the past by other members of the same race, color, sex, or national origin."

Make your choice and if you continue to abuse employees in the State of FL with crap like: "An individual, by virtue of his or her race, color, sex, or national origin, should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment to achieve diversity, equity, or inclusion." We'll see your asses in Court, and bring your damn checkbook.

Frankly the folks pushing this stuff should have been able to spot that it's the ravings of a hate-filled lunatic. And as is often the case with stuff from these clowns, the lies start right in the title: There is nothing fair, equitable or inclusive about this crap.

DeSantis called it right: W.O.K.E. = “Wrongs to Our Kids and Employee.”

 

Get woke, go broke, as many companies have already found out, and many more will find out very soon...

 

Don't like it quit, you are not entitled to a job.

 

Well, looks like everyone can now sue for discrimination as well. How is that bad?

 

Once again. Don't like it quit, you are not entitled to a job.

 

Neither is anyone else who is discriminated against. I don’t see you making this claim for any other kind of discrimination

 

What discrimination?

 

The article kind of makes that point doesn’t it? What’s so hard about teaching anti discriminatory practices at work without giving examples of only one race that would discriminate, or examples of bad behaviors based on a certain race? It is possible to teach that without being discriminatory in your examples. Nothing wrong with that

 

Seriously, has anyone here actually taken one of these pieces of training? I've done so many I've lost count. Never once did I find anything "offensive" or making me regret my race. This is the silliest thing I've heard. FL Repubs have turned into true snowflakes.

 

Which cos, and what did they do?

 

In general the only people who are made uncomfortable at these things are those who ought to be

 

I once worked at a major news organization and made a remark to my boss he didn't like. He told me I needed to take "sensitivity training". The company was for free speech as long as you agreed with them. Most journalists nowadays are a joke.

 

I know right? How dare they teach “don’t be mean to your coworker of a different color”? Honestly it won’t surprise me if this ends up killing floridas economy. Nobody wants to do business in a state if they don’t treat their white collar employees well.

 

It's appropriate to ban some requirements of some diversity programs as they are now being taught. I'm not familiar with any diversity programs that are teaching the doctrines listed as banned by this law, though. I've certainly seen no evidence that teaching them is widespread. Certainly, the idea that CRT implies any of the views listed as banned is false.

As for the extent of the ban, the article says, "The idea is to protect workers as well as students in schools from language that might make them feel “uncomfortable” by references to past acts of bias and discrimination around the country." That would be a bad idea. Telling people things that make them uncomfortable can be relevant to a job.

 

Nor are you entitled to create a hostile work environment for any portion of your workforce. Don't like it get your ass back to the 1840's when you could treat your work force anyway you wanted including killing them for walking off the job.

 

I have. In fact the last place I worked had an explicit policy that minority candidates for internal positions had to be considered first for a promotion before any non-minority groups would be considered because they wanted to increase diversity. They used the exact same language used in that article.

You don’t consider that problematic, discriminatory and racist?

 

It's crap to indoctrinate K-3 grades that there is more than male and female. I see another person came out as gay the other day and I always wonder, what's the big deal? It's like they are proud of it and want the world to know. I think EVERYONE should keep their sexuality to themselves, gays, heterosexuals, whoever. We don't need to tell the world what kind of sex we like. It's nobody's business but yourself. Ditto all the CRT bullshit.

 

Actually, it is the other way around. Racists are not embarrassed by their actions. Only insecure liberals are.

 

Personally, I don't think you have ever been to corporate diversity training at all, or even know what corporate diversity training actually is. Diversity training includes the following:

1. Anti racism training. Or in other words, try not to use the N word, or "wetback when referring to Hispanics" or any other deragatory word in the workplace OR with customers.
2. Anti-sexism training: Training in which one is misogynistic
3. Cultural sensitivity training: we live in a world where we interact with different cultures from our own, and that is imporatant if you want to maximize your customer base and your internal stakeholders
4. Awareness for sexual orientation and gender awareness. The Florida law makes this extremely complicated. Since they do exist, ignoring it will not make it go away.

Who said anything about kindergarden through third grade here. This is corporate America, unless you think the proper place of a child is in a factory and not in school.

 

That usually happens to try to correct a wrong in the past, today.

However, most applicants who are minorities who are considered for the job, and who get the job, will generally be questioned on their qualifications, or be blamed that someone else, usually a white friend of someone, who did not get the job.

So, how do you define a "best fit" for the company is much more than the actual job skills. It does involve interpersonal skills and the "added value" concept to the company, which is what your company is trying to accomplish.

 

It is no secret that Gov. Santis is an unbelievably ignorant, God-mocking bigot who wants to recreate the great American caste system: Liberty and justice for some, not all.

 

I was referring to the recent Florida law where left wingers think we should be teaching K-3'rd graders about lgbtqrstuvwxyz.

 

That is the bottom line. We have to break the companies that go woke by driving them broke.

 

Yes we should teach them that they exist.
