Tomas Chlebek Apple again published a report about the gender and racial diversity of its employees. Changes in total numbers of minority employees are minimal compared to the previous year, the company continues to try to hire more women and racial minorities.
Compared with data from 2015 1 percent more women, Asians, blacks, and Hispanics work at Apple. While the "undeclared" item also appeared in the graphs last year, this year it disappeared and, perhaps as a result, the share of white employees also increased by 2 percent.
So the 2016 employee diversity page understandably focuses more on the number of new hires. 37 percent of new hires are women, and 27 percent of new hires are racial minorities who are chronically underrepresented in technology firms in the United States (URM). These include blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders.
Compared to 2015, however, this is also a low increase – by 2 percent for women and 3 percent for URM. Of Apple's total new hires over the past twelve months, 54 percent are minorities.
Perhaps the most important piece of information from the entire report is that Apple has ensured that all of its employees in the United States are paid equal pay for equal work. For example, a woman working in a Genius bar gets paid the same as a man with the same job, and the same applies to all racial minorities. It seems trite, but unequal pay is a long-standing global problem.
In February of this year, Tim Cook said that American female Apple employees earn 99,6 percent of men's wages, and racial minorities earn 99,7 percent of white men's wages. In April, both Facebook and Microsoft announced that women at them earn the same as men.
However, companies like Google and Facebook have a much bigger problem with the diversity of their employees. According to statistics from this January, blacks and Hispanics make up only 5 percent of the people working for Google and 6 percent for Facebook. Hannah Riley Bowles, an associate professor at Harvard University, called Apple's numbers "encouraging," though she added that it would be great if the company could present more dramatic differences over time. She also pointed to other issues that are difficult to deduce from published statistics, such as the number of minority employees who left the company.
It's entirely possible that this number could be as high as the year-over-year increase in minority hires, as they leave technology companies more often than white men. The reason for this is often the feeling that they don't belong there. Relatedly, Apple's report also mentions a number of minority employee associations that aim to support them through uncertainty and job growth.
Am I alone or do others find this approach discriminatory? In practice, this means that striving for greater diversity favors minorities. Therefore, if a white man and a black woman with the same skills are interested in the same job, the woman will be favored due to the support of diversity.. It is ultimately a bad intention applied badly..
You are not alone. And not only that.
1) Women and men have a different statistical distribution of IQ, men have more chances to excel in some STEM field
2) Inequality of pay has long been disproved, we must not compare "how much money I get per month" but the hourly wage for the same position. It's interesting that basically no one collects such data (and if it looks like they do, e.g. Eurostat that I looked at, it's data that doesn't make sense - and the CSU told me that there is no such data, so where did Eurostat get it?)
3) The whole thing is turned on its head, modern feminists put career on a pedestal as if it should be the meaning of life, but what if a woman wants to have children and take care of them at home? Should it read changed? Or what if she wants to work, but at the same time wants more freedom than her colleagues (men)? If the twisted company policy forces her to be paid more than she deserves, the company will definitely not hire her because it is easier to hire a single and childless woman who can get 100% of what a male colleague gets.
And so we could continue…
I didn't delve into the problem in such depth.. It just seems to me that it is wrong to take into account something other than how suitable the job applicant is and what skills he has, and to have a mouthful of nonsense about equality :)
It is necessary to go into depth precisely because such an argument will not succeed on its own and then you will be told that you are a sexist, a meninist and a bitch...
a long time ago in the USA, a white heterosexual man has the least rights...and I want to transfer this problem here through non-governmental organizations and think tanks...LGBTI is a disease and sick people need to be treated and separated from the healthy population...LGBTI is already a lifestyle and cool thinking in the USA …
And you are a moron who should also be treated? Homosexuality is not a disease, it is a weakness, and it cannot be cured
and what is it if not a disease?
It's nothing, it's normal, so I don't feel sick, I feel more normal than most heterosexuals. And I will not understand that even in the 21st century people can think that it is a disease. But what the heck, you people in the east have a different mindset, the backward eastern bloc…
:D
well, it's definitely not normal, if you were normal, you'd be straight, that's normal
...you belonged to the underdeveloped eastern bloc just like me :D so you're studying geography, don't write nonsense here
and call it what you want, disease, deviation, disorder, you may seem normal, but you will never be, alas
Well, I was already born in the Western bloc. And I'm not going to argue with a retarded idiot if it's normal or not. Hear or find the opinions of experts…
Heterosexuality does not mean normality, you are such a case.
the division of the western/eastern block is used for the period before 89... you don't have to argue, it's not normal
OK, it wasn't that long ago that homosexuality was on the list of diseases
and the fact that some expert lobbied the opposite doesn't mean anything... yes, heterosexuality is the normal state as far as sexuality is concerned, homosexuality is the abnormal - disordered state
....I don't know why you insult me, I didn't insult you, you just showed your "normality" again
And the fact that someone put it on the list of diseases means something? :D :D Some "expert" put it there too, just before 1989. That's why it has weight for you :D (I hope now you see how stupid your argument is).
And I didn't insult you, I just pointed out your normality too.
so the person who put it on the list sucked it out of his finger, but the person who put it is no longer there, anyway :DDDD and that's only because you identify more with his opinion
and yes, I'm normal when it comes to the sexuality we're talking about here
you don't
and you won't do anything about it
to understand it
the normal state is when a pair or pair is capable of reproduction
an abnormal state/deviation/difference is when you are not capable of it, which is also your case
and the fact that there are xy researches where it is proven that homosexuality is almost always the result of living conditions, in other words, homosexuality almost always disappears in young people if the conditions change, I'd rather not even write to you, your ego wouldn't have to survive it
and this is no nonsense, but official serious scientific research
"so the person who put it on the list sucked it out of his finger, but the one who put it away is no longer there, anyway :DDDD and that's only because you identify more with his opinion" - I wasn't angry that someone an expert lobbied it - you, but you don't recognize that someone else lobbied it before to be on that list.
And share here the links to those studies about homosexuality going away, I want to read that because it's bullshit. It's the same bullshit, like praying will get rid of homosexuality or that you'll have hair on your palms after masturbation, but I wouldn't be surprised if you believed that.
And just because someone is gay, does that mean they can't reproduce?
As far as I know, I can still have children with a woman, my sperm work.
Another example of your normalcy in the form of stupidity and rocking horse IQ.
I don't like you, Pa.
Your sperm work, but thanks to your deviation in the shit of another homo, I can't do much
...no one lobbied for homosexuality to be on the list of diseases
that's just how it was
it is a deviation from the normal state, just like pedophilia or necrophilia is a deviation from the normal state, because it confuses the person concerned
then came a couple of butthurt homos like you, who want to prove to everyone by force that they are normal, despite the fact that they are not and never will be (regarding sexuality)
Are you saying that a pedophile is perfectly fine and normal because his sperm still work?
and yes, if you are homosexual, you cannot reproduce
I have never heard of homosexuals having a diet together
I understand that I'm not bothering you, it's hard to hear the truth, especially if you don't have arguments :D
It's more like you have no arguments.
"Sperms do work for you, but thanks to your deviation in the ass of another homo, I can't do much" - you're right, that's why I wrote before that with a WOMAN.
"...no one lobbied for homosexuality to be on the list of diseases
that's just how it was" - very interesting, where are your serious documents now? :D it was just like that :D then who runs out of arguments, right?
"Are you saying that a pedophile is completely fine and normal, because his sperm still work?" - how can you compare this? if two men/two women are together voluntarily, they probably won't hurt anyone, that can't be said about pedophiles, it's already a disease there, if they have the urge to make fun of children. You can see that you're completely out of line.
"and yes, if you're homosexual, you can't reproduce
I've never heard of homosexuals having a diet together" - I do, try google, Ricky Martin, Neil Patrick Harris, ...Oh my God, you're an idiot - if you're homosexual, you can reproduce (with a woman).
Now I have diagnosed you: normal retardation of the highest degree.
and when the diet goes voluntarily to sex and pedophiles? so it's no longer pedophilia, because both parties went into it voluntarily? it is the same deviation and deviation as homosexuality
you are retarded because you can't even read
I asked: I have not yet heard that homosexuals have a diet together
so those two had classic intercourse, fertilization and diet? NO
they had some woman carry it out, who they paid well for it
so two homosexuals cannot have a diet together, it is against nature
moreover, if you are homosexual and will reproduce with a woman, that means you are bisexual
"and when the diet goes voluntarily to sex and pedophiles? so it's no longer pedophilia, because both parties went into it voluntarily?" - I doubt that a small child will go into it voluntarily.
"so two homos can't have a diet together, it's against nature" - strange, I still know about homos who have children, so it's obviously possible, nature is not nature.
"in addition, if you're homosexual and you're going to reproduce with a woman, that means you're bisexual" - no, it doesn't mean, it just means that I want a child.
So wrong, I enjoy you, just keep going, I enjoy arguing with a fool. Only the poor administrators of the apple orchard.
PS: you still didn't put the serious research from the times when the earth was flat and according to serious documents, if you claimed otherwise, you could be burned.
pedophilia is not only about small children who cannot discuss/make decisions
read the research of Bearman-Bruckner or Dr. Neil Whitehead, who did research on identical twins...
"no, it doesn't mean, it just means that I want a child." but then the diet is not yours and your gay partner's, but you and the woman with whom you will have it
show me one homosexual couple who have dieted themselves
yes, it doesn't exist either, just like you will never have a diet with your gay partner (thank God)
I see that insulting is better for you than thinking, I just hope that not all gays are like you
by the way, when you ask me for research, I hope you will also give me yours, which claim that homosexuality is normal, despite the fact that it is not
by the way, when you ask about research, I hope you will also give me yours, which claim that homosexuality is normal, despite the fact that it is not" - they recently wrote this on seznam.cz, regarding those adoptions.
"show me one homosexual couple who have done a diet themselves
yes, it doesn't exist " - it's clear that it's not possible, I didn't even talk about that, but I talked about the fact that homosexuals can have children, you said no.
"read the Bearman-Bruckner research" - I found the article and quickly skimmed it
The research was based on the fact that in 1994-1996 they asked pupils aged 11-17 about whether they had ever been attracted to the opposite sex. And you think that's research? What's more, since two, who hates gays? It's not exactly serious…
"But how did they do on the same-sex attraction study?
The study was based on results of questions asked of students in grades 7 through 12 in 1994-95 and 1996. For the study, same-sex romantic attraction was based on the question: "Have you ever had a romantic attraction to a female ( small)?”
And what am I offending you please?
I claimed that homosexuals cannot have a diet TOGETHER
You said I could
by the way, the argument: they recently wrote on the list, they really win
you could have just written that: pepa said it in the pub
Bearman–Brueckner don't hate homos? how did you come up with such a vulgarity? just because they did research, the result of which you don't like?
I see that the parents did not teach them good manners
"By the way, the argument: they recently wrote on the list, it really is a winner
you could have just written that: pepa said it in the pub"
===just like your argument===
"..no one lobbied for homosexuality to be on the list of diseases
that's just how it was"
"Bearman-Brueckner don't hate homos? how did you think of such obscenity?” – what obscenity? try using google and search.
Don't embarrass yourself anymore, okay?
homosexuality was on the list of diseases because it is simply a disease, a deviation from the normal state
it is scientifically based
then a couple of homos came with money, and they started lobbying in the right places so that people started to get used to it being normal to be sick
you should read more research, not the propaganda articles of scumbags trying to discredit anyone who does something you don't like
"homosexuality was on the list of diseases because it is simply a disease, a deviation from the normal state
it's scientifically based" – you still haven't provided me with the scientific article and no, I'm not taking those two pansies...
And what is the normal state? So how do the pious dictate it, or those who were brought up that way, that normal = hetero, so how do animals also have homos? How is it that in ancient Rome and long before that, a man slept with a man, a woman with a woman?
does that mean it's not abnormal?
homosexuality in animals will ensure that these defective pieces are doomed and their species will not continue
"Homosexuality" in animals
In some types of animals, for example, apparently sexual behavior is a sign of acceptance. Frans BM de Waal, has spent hundreds of hours observing chimpanzees and says: Sexual activity is a conflict avoidance response.
However, the reasons are different. Cesar Ades, professor of psychology at the University of Sao Paulo explains: A dog, for example, uses sexuality to express dominance. Seeing two dogs of the same sex together is a demonstration of strength, not sexuality. Other animals simply fail to identify their counterpart. Smaller animals in particular have problems with recognition.
Homosexual animals do not exist
In 1996, homosexual scientist Simon LeVay admitted that the evidence points to isolated acts, not homosexuality per se. Dr. Antonio Pardo, professor of bioethics at the University of Navarra, Spain adds: Homosexuality does not exist among animals. For reasons of survival, the father is always focused on the opposite sex, this is given by instinct. Therefore, an animal cannot be homosexual. Homosexual behavior occurs often, but it is not an expression of sexuality, but, for example, dominance. However, this has nothing to do with sexuality.
Attempts to suggest that homosexual behavior is in accordance with nature on the basis that it occurs among animals are therefore mere fabrications. Biologists and psychologists do not agree with this view.
homosexuality is simply an obstacle that hinders the natural development of the species
And how do you refute the Romans? And homosexuality probably won't be an obstacle for people, right? They can still breed with women and not go extinct. You'd better go and pray that I don't accidentally transfer homosexuality to you, we've been texting for a long time now and according to those two respected scientists, it's definitely possible :D
what's up with all this praying? When you were young, you were abused by a parish priest and you still have it?
what about the romans once it was possible to own slaves and burn witches
according to your logic, it could start to be done and promoted as normal again, because it was already done several hundred years ago
time has progressed
"according to your logic, it could start to be done and promoted as normal again, because it was done several hundred years ago" :D :D says the one who argues with some list (.no one lobbied for homosexuality to be on the list of diseases
that's just the way it was), which was also created god knows when, a tragedy :D
homosexuality got on the list of diseases because it is simply a disease, or a certain form of sexual deviation
similar to pedophilia, zoophilia, necrophilia
No, it's not, they only put on the list what it was suitable for.
And your advice is incomparable. Pedophilia? Necrophilia? Is it a disease like homosexuality? I don't even hear the filial in it?
You are an idiot.
which ones did it suit? :D in that case it probably suited the whole world :D
Until 1970, most psychiatrists believed that homosexuality was a mental illness. According to them, homosexuality has physical causes like many other mental illnesses. Most were convinced that the cause was a deviation in sexual orientation due to a certain defect in psychosexual development. Psychoanalysts expressed themselves more precisely, admitting that homosexuality is related to a negative or insufficient identification process in early childhood, i.e. it is a consequence of the child's inability to find its autonomy and define its gender identity in relation to its parents.
Even because of this consensus of the majority, homo-activists started to terrorize psychiatrists. E.g. in 1970, on the occasion of a conference on homosexuality in San Francisco, there were psychiatrists who wanted to talk about this problem. The conference had to be adjourned. Almost everyone who wanted to speak critically about homosexuality was attacked. A year later, in 1971, a homosexual representative declared war on psychiatry. Homosexuals eventually gained the right to represent their community wherever homosexuality was discussed.
In 1974, gay activists achieved success.
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) voted to remove homosexuality from its list of mental illnesses. How did this suddenly happen?
Simply put, they forced them. Psychiatrists who were constantly terrorized by homosexuals (also physically) nevertheless did not want to give up what they believed in him. Finally they asked for a referendum. It would be attended by all APA members (about several thousand psychiatrists). Homoloby fought back, and on behalf of APA, they sent out a letter to all members, asking them to support the proposal, which APA had already accepted, because otherwise the organization would be discredited in the eyes of the public. APA members confirmed this decision: 58% voted in favor, 40% voted against, or did not participate in the vote.
The World Health Organization (WHO) only removed homosexuality from its list of diseases in 1993.
and this gang will be produced in the squares, and I will shout how they are hurt
Again a very disinterested article :D. I'm not surprised that they were forced to delete it when they tried, and even now some are trying to impose that they are deviants and defectors. so so?
of course, for homoactivists like you, every article you don't like is biased
if a couple of people declare that, for example, cardiac arrhythmia is not a disease, will that cure all the sick? or will sick people become healthy people?
…are they doing research that we don't like? we will attack them!
problem solving ala roman line
and if you want to take the Romans as a model, see how they turned out :D
I bet you think this grossness is normal. Isn't it like that at home too?
homosexuals, pedophiles, incest, all the same spina
and you are part of it
You said that straight is normal, they are both straight, therefore normal, both older than 18, so normal. And you are part of it, you disgusting excrement.
they are normal in terms of sexual orientation
that they have some other disorder is another matter
No, they are not, they are perverted and that's exactly it, you say that homosexuality is a disease, but how many really sick people are among the "normal" ones. Perhaps the Fritzl? He was also normal according to you, right? There would be more of those normal deviants.
but just because someone doesn't have one disease, doesn't mean they can't have others
he was normal in terms of sexual orientation
the fact that he was heterosexual does not negate the fact that he may have some other form of sexual deviation
That's probably where you got it from http://www.biblicalcatholic.com/apologetics/HomosexualsNotBornGay.htm : D: D
Bearman-Bruckner some two idols wrote this and you consider it serious research :D :D :D I was right, you definitely believe that masturbation causes hairy palms and blindness :D :D
any two kisses? they are well-recognized experts and capacities
you certainly believe that you were born gay
do you think that even those who fell behind bars in the shower were born gay?
I'm still waiting for your research about how homosexuality is not a disease, even if I probably won't get it, since you have more important things to do (mocking your own stupidity)
"you must believe that you were born gay" - so I certainly don't believe that upbringing is to blame, and I honestly don't care what's to blame. What is wrong with a man making love to a man and a woman making love to a woman? You homophobes must have been taught good manners by your parents.
xDDDDDD I was waiting for you to bring up homophobia
anyone who doesn't approve of your twisted tastes is a homophobe :D
make love to whoever you want, man, woman, diet, mother, father, sister, brother, dog, cat, I don't care, I just don't understand why you need to produce yourself and show off in the squares and pretend it's something normal
I'm not going anywhere you idiot, I don't like the famous pride marches either and I don't go to them. But if there are still people like you in the world, let them keep producing.
