Warden Callaway Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Everybody knows Wally-World doesn't have stocking boys, cashiers, etc. They have Associates. The guy that mops the restroom is Sanitation Engineer. Secretaries are now Assistants something or other. Seen a video of two guys untangling a moose from a fence. One guy sure looked like a policeman other deputy by his dress, bullet proof vest a cop stuff hanging on his belt. No. He was a Conflict Resolution Specialist. The police cars in Mexico Missouri are marked Public Safety. How goofy can you get? 1 2 Quote

At all. we can have differing opinions , its been a progressive thing , relabeling and changing our language has slowly altered our culture , DEI is just the most recent step in the progressive agenda to alter our lives , ill give you there is not direct correlations to any single step in the progression , but its all related , so my thinking is different than yours here , good we dont all think alike it leaves room to have these discussions , but in my view DEI was not an isolated situation - it was just another step in the progression 1 Quote

Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted February 24 Posted February 24 I always find it interesting that when someone wants to gussy up a job title, they become a “(Something) Engineer”. Sanitation Engineer Petroleum Injection Engineer You get the picture. Why don’t they ever become “(Something) Lawyers”? 1 Quote
Warden Callaway Posted February 24 Author Posted February 24 My last job title was Engineering Design System Specialist. As far as I know, I was the only person to have that job title. We went into the custom (mom and pop) sawmill business. We were invited by the company to a seminar. When introducing ourselves, I announced that Sawmill Mary went from "Slab Technician" to CEO/CFO of the company. Got a laugh. 1 Quote

Sedalia Dave Posted February 24 Posted February 24 The core tenant of DEI is the requirement to consider race in all matters. All races except White and Asian are to be given preferential treatment. Even when the candidate is otherwise unqualified. Discrimination is wrong; PERIOD!!! 1 1 Quote
Warden Callaway Posted February 24 Author Posted February 24 Oldest son has only been with this company a couple of years. But turnover is pretty high and getting people to work is hard. He's promoted to Assistant Team Leader. ie supervisor. Quote

Blackwater 53393 Posted February 24 Posted February 24 I like the title of OWNER!! SOLE PROPRIETOR ain’t bad either! Having no employees and no schedule other than my own initiative makes it almost perfect!! If it made a little more money, I wouldn’t complain…🙄 🤣 1 Quote
MizPete Posted February 25 Posted February 25 I totally support the basic aims of DEI. Everybody who has the skills deserves the chance. In my day it was affirmative action. Yeah, it was an issue. I always promised my staff I would hire the best qualified applicant who I thought would best serve the team we had created. I had a boss who constantly urged me to hire more minorities, even though I consistently had the most diverse unit in our branch office. My department (set at a distance because of the noise of 21 typewriters) also held the crying chair - by my desk, for employees to discourse with me, though became a place for other supervisors to come and vent, or just seek a few minutes of peace. One visitor, who had literally worked her way up from the mailroom, was a support supervisor also under my boss. He was also pushing her to hire minorities (she was one). She says to me: first time in my life I feel like I got my job because I'm black. NOBODY should be made to feel that way. Rant over. 4 Quote

The biggest problem for me with affirmative action was that it immensely limited my ability to get productive work out of some of the folks that fell under it. He's just picking on me because...... Had nothing to do with the fact he was boat anchor! 1 Quote
Blackwater 53393 Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Affirmative action cost my father two lucrative promotions in the court system where he worked. He had the seniority, the training, decorations, and a far better record of action and service, but in both instances, he was passed over to let someone of the chosen ethnicity fill the position. When he was finally promoted to that level, two years later, he produced twice the results of the other two combined. The judge he worked with/for said later that he was the right man for the job in the first place, but that the quotas had to be met. He got the next promotion long before the other two were even considered!! I don’t like quotas! If the person is the best qualified, that’s the one who should get the job! Ethnicity, seniority, gender, politics, or religion are NOT a reason to hire or promote!! Ability, attitude, responsibility, and training are the proper criteria!! *I yield the soapbox* 5 Quote
Whitey James Posted February 25 Posted February 25 You can't borrow your way out of debt and you can't fix discrimination by discriminating. DEI is nothing more than discrimination dressed up as equality. May it die a painful death never to return. If I need surgery, I want the best surgeon Not someone who fits a certain race, color, sexual preference, or creed. 2 1 Quote

watab kid Posted February 27 Posted February 27 my last tittle was VP of operations , i held that for 30years , its hard to rise above that without the CEO going away , that happened after i retired , ive held a lot of titles over the years i was working , mostly they accurately described my actual responsibilities , i think the only one that didnt was "associate" and that was a part time job after i retired - at that point i didnt care nor agreed but it was not my place to disagree , i just wanted the access to outside human contact - its what i do today , dont need the work nor the pay , i just want the human contacts every day presents , Quote
