Facebook did not hire Black employees because they were not a 'culture fit,' report says

[Hiphoplives4eva]

The "cultural fit" has been used by others to or atleast a variant

Funny a ADOS BM is not a cultural fit but them fresh off the boat Asians, Indians, and even Cacs are tho, huh?

Yes, you dummy. Despite how close you and your fellow ADOS clown homies feel to white people, THEY DONT fukk WITH YOU NIKKA.

Companies do this shyt all the time. You gotta act like them to get hired, in other words act non-black

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

If I was the head of a billion dollar company, I wouldn't be trying to hire white dudes unless I had no choice.

So I understand.

Mark Zuckerberg obviously sees all the hotep negros on FaceBook & Instagram always talking about how much they hate white people - so why would he wanna hire them?

Mark Zuckerberg is a white supremacist.

He didn't create FaceBook to put food on the black man's plate.

Thats his kingdom & he can rule over it how he wants.

FACTS. Sobering truth, but pure facts

How do you get clout-addicted black folks to stop feeding these cracker’s pockets? Facebook, Insta, all of this shyt is propped up by black folk. This is about as bad as getting folks to stop supporting the hood Korean store...

This is very real!

I know someone who got the same exact response from Facebook. He's a computer programmer, super smart with solid work history. He was told he didn't fit company culture. He didn't think it was anything racial though. He felt it's because he wore a suit and tie and maybe a bit too serious. He says the interview was quirky and a completely different vibe than he's ever experienced.

I've never interviewed at Facebook, but I've heard the same thing from friends and colleagues who have, but the energy is the same at pretty much every tech (not even just tech) company based in the Bay (and probably white liberal areas in general.)

My old roommate (black female from the East Coast) had a friend (also black female from the East Coast) who went through the interview process there and declined the job, because (as she told my roommate) each interviewer was a different race, but the exact same person and it creeped her out. But, that's par for the course in tech and modern companies these days. My old roommate and I often talk about the workplace dynamic is awkward, because both of us are anti-integration, black before anything else and grew up mostly around black people. In truth, if you're black and you like black people more than white people, you're not going to be a culture fit for white tech or modern companies in general, which is what makes working in the industry quite miserable.

I remember at one hoo-rah!/share something you're interested in stand-up meetings we had, my homeboy from Brooklyn decided to talk about Marcus Garvey. "How many of you all have ever heard of Marcus Garvey?" Only four of us raised our hands. The only three black folks in the room... and a Greek-Chinese mixed dude who is actually hella cool peoples and digs deeper than superficial outrage into domestic and international socio-politics. Not one of our hyper-liberal white, Asian or gay "allies" in that room knew who Garvey was. Including the weirdo Asian chick with half-shaved green hair who, the next February, decided she was going to 'take initiative' and make posters, flags and annoy everyone to death on Slack about "civil rights" during Black History Month. Of course, her interest wasn't genuine. It was just a vehicle for her real goal of pushing psycho-feminist babble.

One of my mentors there (black guy, also from the East Coast) gave me the look (meaning he understood what I was saying, but it wasn't something that could be brought up in our environment) when I was telling him how hypocritical it was that tech companies, including where we were at, focused so hard on girls and women when black boys and young black men across the Bay in East Oakland were the ones who need actual help.

I'm going to get negged and some crybaby bytch is going to try and sic the mods on me for this, but FB's workplace politics have nothing to do with conservatives or Donald Trump. White and Asian liberals are not our fukking friends. A group of people old roommate's job (remember, she's a black female) tried to gang up on her for saying she went to Chick Fil A. 'We just wanted to let you know in case you didn't that they're not a company that supports the LGBT community.' None of these companies don't want actual diversity (of thought), they want different-looking skin colors and sex identities so they can meet quotas and have field days promoting themselves during X Awareness Month - that's it. Stop trying to deflect white liberal "allies" who pander to you's anti-blackness onto other groups. Why is this so shocking to understand for a lot of people?

these tech companies DO NOT WANT black folks gaining a foothold in the tech industry its plain as day.... all these excuses is bullshyt and they know it... white or asians only... talking about CULTURE fit, you mean WHITE culture... probably anti black too while they at it

you are saying it plain as day but there will always be brehs who are like “but whyyyyyyyyyyy?”

Same way them folk got their own companies and shyt is the same way we need to have our own. And that’s is. No side deals or “partnerships”.

 

[Cadillac]

Yes, you dummy. Despite how close you and your fellow ADOS clown homies feel to white people, THEY DONT fukk WITH YOU NIKKA.

Your retarded it's not about being close to cacs it's about pointing out that lie of "cultural fit" being used for passive racism.

And get out yo feelings u been moving on here like u got a stick up ur ass

 

[Will Ross]

A Blessing in disguise.
Do you really want to work with people you don’t share any culture with?

Facebook Told Black Applicant With Ph.D. She Needed to Show She Was a “Culture Fit”

FACEBOOK TOLD BLACK APPLICANT WITH PH.D. SHE NEEDED TO SHOW SHE WAS A “CULTURE FIT”
“You wouldn’t like this job,” she says she was told. Facebook is only 3.9 percent Black and is facing an EEOC investigation.

A BLACK WOMAN passed over for a job at Facebook told federal regulators that even though she was exceptionally qualified for the position, she was rushed through interviews with entirely white staffers, told she wouldn’t like the job, and advised that the company wanted a strong “culture fit,” according to a complaint to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission provided to The Intercept.

The woman joins three others who have recently complained to the EEOC about anti-Black racism at Facebook. The agency has begun conducting a “systemic” probe of Facebook, looking into whether the company’s own policies further discrimination, Reuters reported earlier this month.

The complaint comes as evidence piles up that large Silicon Valley companies are not diversifying their predominantly white and Asian work forces quickly enough, particularly within high-paying technical and managerial roles. Facebook’s latest diversity report, from July, stated that only 3.9 percent of its U.S. employees were Black and 6.3 percent Hispanic. Google said that in 2020 its U.S. staff was 5.5 percent Black and 6.6 percent Latinx, and, like Facebook, has faced repeated accusations of racist practices, including, just in the last week, that it de-prioritizes applicants from historically Black colleges and universities and that it pushes people who complain about racism to seek mental health care.

The woman, whose attorneys shared her complaint with The Intercept on the condition that she not be named, alleges she was “subjected to Facebook’s pattern or practice of discrimination against Black applicants” during a series of interviews for a managerial position at the company in 2020. In the complaint, filed in December, the applicant says her prior work experience and directly related doctoral degree made her particularly well-suited for the job: partnerships and program manager at Facebook’s Global Impact Partnerships. She adds that her experience and education were brought up only in an early interview with the position’s hiring manager, who she alleges told her, “You have a big brain, you wouldn’t like this job.”

“We believe it is essential to provide all employees with a respectful and safe working environment,” Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone told The Intercept. “We take any allegations of discrimination seriously and investigate every case.”

In the complaint, the applicant says she made it past the initial screening process and was granted further interviews, culminating in a round of in-person meetings with a group of all-white Facebook employees in San Francisco, during which she “sensed that the interviewers were not prioritizing her interviews because all of the interviews seemed rushed after making her wait for several hours.” The complaint notes that the applicant wasn’t interviewed by a single person of color and that the “only Black Facebook employee [she] encountered during the entire hiring process was a receptionist.”

She further alleges that during one of the in-person interviews in California, she was told, “There’s no doubt you can do the job, but we’re really looking for a culture fit.” The term “culture fit” is common in corporate tech culture, typically defined as the quality of hiring someone you’d want to hang out with socially or grab a beer with, but often criticized as little more than a euphemistic stand-in for racial or gender-based discrimination and a way for companies to deflect accusations of hiring bias. Given the overwhelming racial homogeneity of American tech companies and the pervasive belief that they require some sort of common vision of the future as much as any technical skill, determining what the “culture” in question even is or how one might “fit” into it can be impossible if an applicant doesn’t closely resemble a company’s founders or current staff.

Indeed, the applicant’s complaint states that Facebook’s “general policy of discrimination against Black applicants” is built partly on “Facebook’s strong consideration of ‘culture fit’ in hiring, without providing sufficient objective guidance to managers and other employees on how to determine which applicants and employees will be a good ‘culture fit’ at Facebook.”

The three other recent EEOC complaints about Facebook made similar allegations that Facebook relied on “culture fit” and evaluation by white and Asian employees to determine who made the cut. They were filed by Facebook employee Oscar Veneszee Jr. and by two applicants turned down for jobs. All four individuals are represented by attorneys from Gupta Wessler PLLC, Katz Marshall & Banks, and Mehri & Skalet.

fukk that shyt. Too many nikkas leaving money on the table. That's why you're done in America.

They want Mexicans deported back, but Mexicans ain't leaving money on the table.
Asians claiming hate crime are happening, but Asians ain't leaving money on the table.

And I doubt Hoteps are applying to Facebook. This is c00ning. It's his kingdom because you have a weak mentality. You're failing you grandparents.

 

[Tom Foolery]

As I mentioned before. Literal black tax dollars goes to facebook. Ain't no way in hell black folks shouldn't be demanding that they hire black folks.

And that goes for any company accepting money from the government.

Every big Corp. should have around 20% black people working.

nikkas talk so much shyt but then don't even fight for the jobs.

Who's raising these black people in America?

[ORDER_66]

Facebook is own and operated by white supremacists. When will you fools recognize that these white people arent obligated to put you in their elite boardrooms? You need to be focused on creating your own.

I think people KNOW that but arent satisfied with the status quo breh... Also we all know to build an internet company takes tons of capital good luck getting (NON) white angel investors to give you money for a startup, especially since you aint white... there's a extremey racist reason black tech startups dont happen

 

[mamba]

Get the entire fukk out of here. Black folks need to boycott facebook.

Facebook owns Instagram. A boycott isn’t happening. Black people love Instagram!

Black people will boycott the NAACP before we boycott Facebook’s products at this point!
