@Mountain_Man Again, no. All this has to do with hiring is to make sure that the people hiring like myself are aware of any internal biases they may have. Such as skipping a candidate because their name sounds “too ethnic”, or skipping over a candidate because of where they come from, or if I saw them with a same-sex partner on social media, saw that they were a certain religion, etc.

These companies are just ensuring that when decisions are made, they’re made from a human place of consideration rather than apply expectations that may not consider the different trials and factors working alongside an employee every day.

It’s just a policy telling people to leave their baggage at the door and treat people with respect.

@Mountain_Man As the lead recruiter of a company that is taking these matters seriously, I can assure you that you could not be more incorrect about the point of DEI initiatives. It isn’t affirmative action. It barely has anything to do with hiring new people as much as it has to do with making sure the BEST people already there are happy and valued at work. It really is that simple and isn’t some convoluted social experiment like people are assuming. The largest insurance corporation in the world has been doing this since the 90s and I guarantee it has had nothing but a positive effect on their talent, retention, and multi-billion dollar portfolio.

@Mountain_Man No. The point is that the right qualified person can bring their A Game and focus on making great products without juvenile nonsense about their identity being brought up or highlighted negatively. Treat people with respect = cultivate an atmosphere to develop great games.
