How did they handle it? (a) They created a Chief Diversity Officer position, and hired a black guy to staff it, (b) they padded their diversity numbers with low-pay/0-hour contract employees at the lowest level possible.
Diversity is fostered by initiatives, not mandates.
That's a pretty harsh accusation. Can you provide any proof?
But where?
