| schestowitz[TR3] | What exactly are lies, can you be more specific? Microsoft has had discriminatory hiring practices (https://www.hrdive.com/news/microsoft-to-pay-3m-to-job-applicants-to-resolve-hiring-bias-claims/585681/). Microsoft also made bold diversity claims and responded to the United States Department of Labor Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs here (https://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2020/10/06/ofccp-diversity-employ | Jul 29 03:51 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | ment-laws/) where they claim (direct quote, read the blog) "Continue to require diverse slates of candidates for roles at the company to ensure we see a broad range of talented candidates". As OP explained, this was by requiring at least one woman and at least one URM/BIPOC to interview or else get a CVP exception if wanting to make an offer to a "non-diverse" individual. HM are not told the race/s-x of candidates, so they are | Jul 29 03:51 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | in practice being asked to consciously profile. Maybe @f1 has a better explanation for how this requirement was enforced (If so, they should suggest the idea to HR and GTA). Microsoft itself lists D&I in it's interview tips (https://careers.microsoft.com/v2/global/en/hiring-tips/interview-tips.html) and the previous link also says "Continue to train our employees on inclusive hiring practices | Jul 29 03:51 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | ". As for the comment about paying "non-diverse" less for the same work, this was widely reported as well (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/CB34EvLdhQ0). Finally, Microsoft does have a "Self-ID" for D&I (https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2023/11/01/microsofts-2023-diversity-and-inclusion-report-a-decade-of-transparency-commitment-and-progress/). I'm not sure if you have taken this Self-ID, it it doesn't seem like you work at Micro | Jul 29 03:51 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | soft or have worked with senior leadership or global talent acquisition. If any of those are lies, that's not my experience and would be good to know your experience. These things are largely unreported because of fear and people don't speak of for fear of their job or being labeled a bigot or "co-n." I hope you take a moment to consider your own biases and that you may be currently ignorant on this topic (definition: lacking k | Jul 29 03:51 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | nowledge, information, or awareness about a particular thing). If you do work at Microsoft and doubt the above I would suggest asking your CVP "have you ever had to make a hiring diversity slate exception for an offer?", maybe at your next all hands for them to tell the whole org "the truth", otherwise I don't think you are displaying a growth mindset and you are choosing to stay willfully ignorant.
