You tell me? Is HR systematically refusing to accept resumes based on race?
Yuuup.
It is illegal for an employer to discriminate against a job applicant because of his or her race, color, religion, s-x (including gender identity, se-ual orientation, and pregnancy), national origin, age (40 or older), disability or genetic information. For example, an employer may not refuse to give employment applications to people of a certain race
Yep, HR loved me. I just put down 2 or more races. I’m typical American-we all be mutts now whatever you look like and they’re not allowed to ask.
As an employee who “checks a box”, I am disgusted by what I see going on with hiring practices. There is no regard for the quality of the candidate but simply the box checking. I have earned respect from co-workers based on my work ethic and accomplishments, yet feel the need to constantly justify my success to those who don’t know what I bring to the table. This company has fostered resentment toward diversity and within diversity by promoting incompetence in order to meet a quota. I cannot stand that this company makes me question whether it was my accomplishments that got me where I am or my DNA. I want to be the best candidate for the job, not the best DIVERSITY candidate for the job.
I guess you folks don't get it. Your religion can't be discriminated against if you are a Christian. Your race can't be discriminated against if you are Caucasian. Your s-x can't be discriminated against if you are male. Your se-ual orientation can't be discriminated against if you are straight. You can only be discriminated against if you are a protected minority. It's woke law.
Step 1- Honewell goes "woke."
Step 2 - A person is no longer what they are, but what they "identify" as. And YOU had better play along, or else.
Step 3 - An employee's value to the company is no longered measured in contribution, experience, skill, or capability, but rather in the number of "diversity" boxes you can check.
Step 4 - It only makes sense then that I should self-identify as a non-white, lactating, ho-------l, autistic, left-handed, athiest, androgynous, native American Muslim of color with PTSD and a Covid vaccine bruise on my left arm. My preferred pronoun is "Xyz" and you only get one chance to pronounce that correctly or I'll file a microagression complaint with HR.
When can I expect my promotion?
Interesting, my experience in Phoenix was that, for new hires and interns, the HR (or contracted headhunter) only would send me applicants from BYU. With 50% of their resumes devoted to their church related service rather than their classwork or academics.
When I demanded resumes from other universities, the rep challenged me asking why are these candidates not good enough to just give jobs to.
Eventually I forced them unblock all applications that applied. I also got intern resumes from those we sent to college recruitment events, and then manually review every one myself to find the top candidates to interview.
I can go into several more stories about how other managers demanded I hire people from their church that had no qualifications for the job.
The bias in phx (at least the engineering department I was in) is real. The games played are just not openly publicized.
Discriminating against people because they're "not diverse" is 100% wrong. It's hypocrisy. It isn't right and it makes any organization instantly worse.
Lots of companies doing this now. Gives opportunities but everything needs an overhaul period. It's great that people of different races are getting better options but the important part is that there will still only be a very small group at any Corp that makes billions after bonuses, and everyone else scrambles.
It's progress but true progress would be more balanced earning. I'm happy that there is opportunity for someone to make my low salary that wouldn't have in the past but there is much more needed.
@1omc It appears that their standards are abysmally low enough that they hired you a couple of years ago.
The irony is that they will put talent-less mo--ns in senior positions they are not qualified for regardless of race or gender so i guess it has no impact on 'modern' Honeywell. We will just have a rainbow colored suite of buffoons instead now to appeal to the zeitgeist and thus stock holders.
Only been here a couple of years and blown away how I have to continually teach my bosses about their job and industry and worse still regularly correct colleagues in other disciplines, the standards are so abysmally low.
Tell me you’re racist without telling me you’re racist. How many decades has the good old boys club run things. Now the the pendulum is shifting you guys are playing victim.
Not surprised.
Everyone expects honeywell to lie and cheat and then brag about it.
I can't skip a paycheck so I must find another job before I leave.
I also can't stay.
What I am told to do everyday in our factory is making me physically sick.
Why is this discussion on diversity goals as usual focused solely on race. Is that because no one wants to touch gender (or could it be cover for the racists to come out in a PC manner)?
You all make me laugh. Having spent over 20 years in the company, let's just say no one has accused Honeywell (at least in Aero) of being too diverse.
Diversity prioritized everywhere but leadership! C-suite and HBT, looking at you. But the more diverse the lower level help, the better.
Agree.
The evidence is overwhelming that they profile and only give opportunity based on race.
Our lawyers are pretty arrogant.
Lining up a qualified and very nondiverse friend to apply.
Need evidence of harm to file case.
Yep, it's no longer about the content of your character and skills, it's about diversity quotas!
