Diversity

What is funny to me at the age that I am is the amount of hulaboloo over Diversity in the workplace. I have been working since age 15 and have seen some things and have some stories to tell. At one point in my career I worked for a company that from the outside, it appeared everything was above board, after working their for some seasons and engaging and talking to people, 1 thing became clear, the rules were not the same. So several professionals came out of jr. high and high school, but alas, when they opened up hiring for everyone else, they had degrees, major work experience and so forth I had to take several tests, which I was prepared for. The others not so much, the tests were waived, my education was superior and training also, but they just appeared. We also had a friends and family program, which meant a good number of staff was related to someone, or knew someone and had just magically got that job without the grilling that many got. Now did it bother me, yes...but then no I understood that we/I/Some would always have to work twice as hard, have twice or three times the skill set to get a foot in the door. All this crying and whining about what about me, is just due to the fact that someone's lazy baby who never was told no couldn't get and do the job he wanted, not Earned, or had the skill set for. If people knew and understood how many dolts that I have worked for whose mammy or pappy was the boss of and how truly lacking they were because they were GIVEN, that job, they would be stutter and look for reasons to still blame diversity. I think about how many businesses I knew growing up who left thriving businesses to their adults and not even 2 years out, it was shuttered. It was not diversity that shut them down, it was that their spoiled adults, had 0 interest in working hard, wanted people to work for little to nothing, gutted the equity and then shut down. Stop the cap blaming people of diverse backgrounds, own your lack.
