Don’t you feel the measures meant to improve diversity had some drawbacks? Clearly the laid off dont it everyone the same & same when it comes to finding a job again.
I’m UK based, I have been laid off in June, I see most of I team has found a job and the remaining are struggling. I have even seen bad behaviour during interviews. But I guess this where I kind of feel yes you can create and implement rules but it’s very hard to have an impact on mentality, behaviours, & even more systematic issue

Girl! The U.K. is a whole mess! There was never any active measure in place.

This is an issue for me too! It’s part of the reason I’m looking elsewhere for roles.

Yes, I went out to dinner with my Caucasian friends & one got a high powered role working at the Met “baseball” she mentioned she’s a diversity hire. I’m guessing the diversity meaning it’s not only for blacks. Or that’s what it’s turned into. Also the Harvard Law that removed diversity in the acceptance is being used as global initiative as well. Companies can use any race as a diversity hire. Race or gender can fill it. I see on LinkedIn allot of ppl saying during George Floyd it was a movement. But realistically the job market right now is very bad. Everyone’s feeling is it me? That’s the climate hopefully not for long. In the USA 🇺🇸 as well.

My boss fired me because i ask for clarification on my employment right.

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada
