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

[mson]

Once again, I cant state this enough

fukk all FAANG companies

Personal experience?

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

But FB would hire some black ass Asians I mean Indians tho

Facebook would buy it or copy whatever feature makes the alternative app unique and implement it in Instagram (look at the history... from Vine, to Snapchat, to TikTok).

Facebook touches so much shyt from an integration standpoint (how many people use Facebook to log into completely different sites/apps?) the 'boycott' play is really more difficult that just leaving FB/IG/Whatsapp. I really wanted MS to win that TikTok bid, they would have been in an interesting place in terms of social media. They would of had the professional network with LinkedIn and they also would of had the kids and teenagers with TikTok. There's going to have to be another goliath with capital to really put a dent into the stranglehold that Facebook has on the social media space, just keeping it a buck with you.

They can try. I’m reading the book “No Filter” (really good book) right now which is about Instagram’s history and it touches on how Facebook tried to hit people with that get down or lay down approach (let us buy you or we’ll copy you). Snapchat told them to kick rocks. Facebook tried to make Poke happen in response and it failed miserably. So in short, Facebook has not been successful in copying everyone. The only company they’ve really killed was Vine.

Why do y'all make these weird standards where every other race should be able to get a job with any of these large companies but black people shouldn't any time one of these stories pop up?

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

But he created it to put food on Chinese and Indian plates?

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?

Great stories/perspectives and nothing but FACTS.


Repped.

Just had this so called Half black brazilian "Allegedly" reply to me on reddit acting stupid like he didn't know what I meant by facebook's obvious "culture" I was like...

nikkas rather smash the door down and break into the enemy's building - instead of building their own house from the ground-up.

nikkas know damn well they'd be using the same "culture fit" excuse if we had our own companies

Culture is an important thing within a company & should be respected.

Nah, look at all these rappers putting on and signing nonblacks like Eminem and Snitch69 to record deals. Black people are true only ones who want nonblacks working for us...i see this in tons of black owned small businesses.

@ the Marcus Garvey shyt

I agree 100% with what you said though.

 

[Tom Foolery]

Ok, and then what, be happy to be in an environment where you clearly not wanted.

You're not wanted in any environment. That's a non-factor.

You're job is for income and these companies are some of the highest paying.

Reddit is simply a bunch of Facebook/Tech employee type white liberals all on one platform. It's infuriating and beyond irritating discoursing with those cacs, asians, and the few c00ns that actually post there regularly.


I HATE WHITE LIBERALS (and the "left-wing") with a passion. Probably more than I do conservatives.


That's why I cherish and utilize TheColi. I can actually relate to most of the brehs here.
