If so why did you not follow those policies until it was so last minute that you had to hire a terrible employee just to satisfy those demands? And if not, then what the hell were you doing?

The most incompetent people that I work with are minorities because they are handed everything to them in life and only get jobs/education because of the color of their skin.

I Wear Pants;1327504 wrote:Right, so you're just a racist motherfucker and in a desperation move to look not racist you hired a black woman programmer to maximize on the diversity and since you did it really quickly it turned out poorly. Because, shockingly, a journalism major who doesn't know C++ doesn't make a very good C++ programmer.

If you thought having only white people on that team was a problem why the fuck did you not take the time to find a qualified minority applicant?

You made it about race.

I Wear Pants;1327508 wrote:No, but perhaps you should have either (assuming you were doing the hiring) been an adult and stuck with your team and if/when questioned about the lack of diversity explained that you simply hire the most qualified applicants regardless of race or if you did what to diversify the team, either for outward appearances or to benefit the team, you should have actually bothered hiring a qualified applicant.

Anyone who knowingly hires an employee they know will perform to a standard that is below what they need out of the position is a moron.

If you're going to hire minorities at least hire qualified ones. Doing anything different is fucking stupid.

Also, if you bothered/were capable of reading you would have noticed the part about making sure your application and hiring processes are excellent and you document everything. That way you can't lose a lawsuit.
