The stated logic seems dumb. If your rationale is that layoffs can have a disproportionate impact on marginalized communities, you should also disproportionately focus layoffs on:

- People with a trust fund
- People with wealthy spouse and/or family
- People that have specialized skill sets that would fare best on the market
- People living with their parents
- People who are younger / not close to retirement
- Other tongue-in-cheek reasons based on bad logic. Need more information on how this "lens" was applied...

- A POC

White privilege is so glaring that y’all read “we will not disproportionally lay-off minorities” as “we are going for white folks! No more white people allowed!”

Admitting that it could have happened in the last is a great first step. There's a number of reasons this could have organically happened, and they're addressing those potential biases in future rounds.

For example, minority employees given equal performance could have scored lower on reviews, have less in common, come from different schools, etc, which could make them less protected come layoffs.

Keywords "more than others". However, I think this is stupid - racist layoffs would be layoffing because someone is from a marginized community...NOT laying off due to race...well...maybe you can tell me how that appears lol

A bit odd

Ah yes the anti racist policy that is supposedly not racist. Because any policy that considers race, you know, is not racist at all.

Tax Senior here. I’m well liked around the office, I put in the hours and work hard, I haven’t had any dumpster fire projects, but I am a mediocre performer compared to my peers (not as strong project management, communication, not as confident).
