If you are working well, doing your job, not goofing off, not playing hooky, you are most likely just fine in the belonging category. Grow up!
On to the DEIB bigotry disguised as factors.
Diversity includes ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, military status, nationality, skills, disability status, location, and numerous other factors. Now, reading that list, you can figure we all qualify under many of them. I am of German/Irish descent, female, older, sexually female, non-military, American, and have a number of skills. But guess what? I am rejected from that list – not diverse enough? According to findem.ai/knowledge-center:
It can be challenging to diversify teams. And when you do succeed, having a certain percentage of diversity won’t transform your team—it’s the environment that you foster for diverse employees that brings real change. [2]
If anyone can logically explain that to me, I will be in your debt.
Equity, according to findem:
gives each employee fair and equal access, opportunities, and advancements, regardless of their diversity background. This can require companies to actively break down employees’ barriers to success. [3]
Which means? In most of our workplaces today, people have fair and equal access to work and achieve advancement. Keep in mind, the definition of “diversity” pretty much covers everyone in America today. And if companies must “break down the employees’ barriers to success – first, what are the barriers? Their inabilities to do a certain job? Employers train them, that is unless the employee is too lazy or otherwise can’t or doesn’t want to learn. What we are seeing is gobbledygook written to pretend there is a problem of diversity (and equity, and inclusion) in today’s businesses.
I will make this next point short:
Inclusion, again according to findem:
ensures everyone on the team is treated fairly and respectfully, despite differences. [4] Uh, duh?
The list used to end here, but you know how it is with the PE and their desire to confuse, baffle, and just mess with our minds, they have to keep adding to the list of our injustices and transgressions.
Belonging, findem definition:
centers around the employee experience of feeling accepted in the workplace. Every team member should feel that their perspective is valued and adds something useful. [5]
For Pete’s sake, grow up! If you are working well, doing your job, not goofing off, not playing hooky, you are most likely just fine in the belonging category. Grow up! As findem suggests “do employees offer each other constructive feedback?” I am laughing my head off right now thinking of some of the things I’ve heard in the line of constructive feedback. Some are not printable here. But again, time to grow up.
How do any of these things have anything to do with Carbon Dioxide?
They don’t! This is all horse pocky. It means nothing!
All the components I am talking about are frauds, and not even well-disguised frauds. They don’t need to be legitimate. Those promoting them lie all the time (and have been for decades). They know that, because most people have been “educated” in our national system and watch/read mainstream media, they have been brainwashed to believe the lies. And spread them.
