Here are some key takeaways from this episode
Poorly conceived strategies make Diversity look like a ‘scam’
“we agree, with the article so far but this doesn’t sound like a scam it sounds like a poorly executed priority, we discuss this each and every week”
People who use phrases like “identity politics” may think Diversity is a ‘scam’
“if you believe that corporate HR departments have been hijacked by the identitarian Left in an attempt to implement the ideology of academic identity politics” then it’s likely that you will think it’s a scam”
Think carefully about how and why we share information
“we’ve all done it, in an attempt to be helpful we share articles that we’ve come across. The problem is, a lot of us read the title, share the article without properly reading the content”
