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

[Ozymandeas]

Culture fit meaning your black ass is not welcome

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

I'm not there to make friends. Depending on the job, it can open doors. I was interviewing at a fintech startup and didn't get it for that reason. Ultimately ended up at working at a multinational bank a few months later, so it worked out for me in the end.

They don't hire blacks, they probably have a few black contractors instead tho.

I hope anyone saying “why you wanna work for Facebook” isnt using Instagram. Black people and black culture are the driving force behind their most popular app but, black people don’t fit the culture there? There’s something really wrong with that. If black people migrated to another app, we’d make it hot like we always do and they’d be in their feelings but we’re not good enough to hire though?

Black people shouldn't desire to work for a white supremacist company like FaceBook anyway.

Go on that site and say anything pro-black and get banned for 30 days


fukk that site.

No sympathy from me.

Stop begging the opps for a job.

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.

You get it.

But nikkas will still scratch and claw to be included in spaces they aren’t wanted, rather than building their own.

It’s called white supremacy. Hence the reason real money from blacks people need to go to black businesses. Same thing going on in cannabis.

White supremacy affects all areas of activity

of course there is no doubt about that... Black folks should definitely strong arm there way into the cannabis market and takeover... just get all the black money guys, nba guys, black folks with money and start bogarding the system.... fukk it...

facebook buying whatsapp and IG was the worst thing to happen

I swear late last week I had a recruiter contact me about a job that I might be interested in. She liked my resume & said the company is big on "culture fit" & that immediately raised some red flags. My assessment test scores were "off the charts" according to the recruiter & this company's interested in me. Wait till I Zoom interview with them & they'll see I'm probably not a culture fit for them real quick lol

I'll for sure hit this thread once I do

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?

Damn you hit the nail on the head. It's the equivalent of this meme

I work for a startup tech company, its the best job I've ever had in terms of pay, perks etc but it is so fukking exhausting having to pretend I care about corny memes, sci-fi, aliens and other "reddit cac" humor. ( nothing wrong if you actually do, I don't)

I'm pleasant and professional but that's not enough and I worry someday they'll realize I don't truly fit in.

 

[Big Boss]

Not surprised

 

[NZA]

they all want their blacks to be temp workers

 

[TRUEST]

This is why y’all need to focus on starting a business. Having to sue a company to get them to hire u is a very impoverished, emasculating position to be in.

yea yea I know it’s easier said than done. The point is fight. Give your offsprings a fighting chance.

it looks like the hatred for blacks won’t go away until we start being the founders of great companies. Until we become part of the leaders of an industry whose opinions are highly sought after, this will continue to happen.

 

[Based Lord Zedd]

Someone I know from college works at Facebook. Goofy white guy who loves asian women. Bet he had NO problem fitting in.

The whole thing is insulting. Refuse to hire black people from the jump, then claim to not hire black people because they don't fit into the non-black culture you intentionally created.

Just to add something to this thread.

If this fruitopian Bay Area billionaire CEO and investor saw opportunity in the 1.2 billion Africans then why don't we see the golden goose is that untapped market that has different culture(s) as well, but possibly easier to deal with in some aspects.

I know some white and black folks in Atlanta tech scene doing well.
