Yep, that's how I actually got forced out of my first job when I was 20. I started working at age 18, was put into management primarily due to seniority and being the best worker at the store at the time our manager quit. Was a manager for a year and some change, our store made a pretty good turnaround where workplace enthusiasm was much higher, our turnover rate dropped like a rock because I was willing to cover so my employees could have their days off if nobody would cover. My workers got along with me really well. At a point during 2014 our store in the midwest was one of the most profitable stores according to corporate when we were just acceptable prior. One of the biggest changes being the people in our kitchen were a lot happier working so they put out better food due to morality which was the bulk of what we sold.
Got forced out of that position because corporate decided we needed more minorities in leadership which is a noble goal but it should never be the result of literally installing them which is what happened to me. I was told in a subtle way by the regional manager that corporate had decided one of our better functioning stores needed a minority managing to make a better impression on the public by basically saying "A black manager operates one of our best stores!" That exact store was closed down within a year. I don't know all of what went on but from my former coworkers who were basically friends she was my polar opposite. Where I was strict only when necessary she basically pulled rank over everything, where I seldom considered myself the manager of the store she wouldn't hesitate to remind people that she was the manager and what she said went.
About the closest indication I had aside from that about the store going downhill fast was chatting with the cashier and them telling me they were down to four people on staff, and people were basically getting hired then quitting in two weeks because they couldn't tolerate the new manager's attitude.
As many have said, the problem with IT hiring is at the source - education has favoured men.
No-one is happy at 99% men, nor are they happy at hiring someone just because they are women.
What people want is for everyone to have equal opportunity, not necessarily equal outcome.
Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.

I once read in a book about a young girl who wanted to study astronomy at the university back in the early 1950s. When she finally managed to get an interview, the following conversation ensued between the university officer and her:
"I'm sorry, young girl, you are not eligible for this particular career."
"But why, I haven't even gone through the admission test, and I have almost straight A's in high school."
"Astronomy isn't meant for women, period. Can you name me at least one female astronomer of note?"
Going by several posts ITT, no affirmative action should have ever been taken LOL.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc.
Oh look, the guy who has made a number of troll/bait/flame/shit threads in the past week, that he doesn't post anything in besides the baity OP, made yet another thread.
Somebody wanna explain why MMO-C doesn't permaban?
If I don't respond to something you tagged me in, assume one of two things.
1) Your post was too stupid to acknowledge, or
2) Your post is cringe and not worth replying to.
Alternatively, if it happens a lot I probably have you blocked due to one of the above things. Thank you.
So many men are threatened when their historical privilege is corrected. The reality is that the portion of women in scientific degrees has increased over time and even places like MIT now have more female undergraduates than male. The notion that you can't increase the portion of women employees without reducing employee quality is just false. In fact, female students, on average, outperform male students.
Do you think it's favoritism to hire the more qualified human being? Regardless of their biological sex? What happens when the more qualified individual is male? Are you now going to not hire him because you want to include more females? Because that is exactly what Blizzard's statement, and your statement state.
you have to face the facts there sweetheart, you're clearly sexist. You should really learn to be more inclusive of other people.
That's not at all what I'm implying. The example I used just happened to be exactly that. I'm saying when you have quotas to meet that have nothing to do with skill and qualifications, you will drop your requirements for skill and qualifications to meet your quotas. You can also look at college admissions in the US and SAT scores. Certain demographics need either higher or lower scores than average for admittance, because they are trying to fill certain nonskill/qualification based quotas.
