    We're getting a lot of material on affirmative action contracting now. I'm old enough to remember the first time we? did this before it was ruled unconstitutional. Early 80's all of a sudden wives owned a lot of businesses

    Exactly, back then we had several businesses set up companies with wives and daughters as sole owners. All virtue signaling

    Chase doesn't have this problem

    I'd vote for Jamie Dimon for POTUS in a heartbeat.

    Wouldn't even think twice about it.

    I'd vote for John Dutton for POTUS in a heartbeat.

    Wouldn't even think twice about it.

    For those in the dark, it was a reference to the previous poast.

    They hired plenty of minorities and women at the lower levels that could work their way up. But for positions that require an MBA, I could see how it's hard to get qualified minorities

    Nope.

    1. Banking school, if you’re worth it.
    2. “Special Executive MBA” program set up to get the Paper to the Producer who Needs it for resume enhancement for the public to fawn over if you’re an executive level talent
    In fact, the CEO who said this got his MBA through the special executive MBA route (at NYU). OTOH, he was hired out of Johns Hopkins and made nice with Jamie Dimon almost immediately. So his coin was minted from the get-go.

    Look, to really climb like this guy did, if you don't golf and "fit in" and look the part, which isn't so much about being white as it is something else hard to define, the hill is a little steeper, though it can be done. Nobody is splitting the atom in banking.
    I think you nailed it. Some guys I went to grad school ended up at doing retail banking. Nothing special. Some other guys I went to grad school with ended up at mega hedge funds in NYC, and those guys were nailz. You want to go live life like it's "Billions," be smart af and ready work 16 hours a day. Want to go work at Wells, be able to tie shoes and chew bubble gum.
    What is the masters program required by Orkin?
    I have severely underachieved in life.

    I'm sure there is no connection between the Wells Fargo CEO's statement and these statistics.

    One university's statistics isn't a good argument

    It's really simple: finance, software engineering and all that is not attractive to anyone (that doesn't enjoy hookers and blow) without the context of growth potential and what the market wants.

    I have a liberal arts degree but I have to study for what? And perform how? to be a lawyer?

    I just wanna build cool websites in js/node but I need to go to UW and learn to write compilers and interface with edge devices in C++? Plus the EE math? Fucking WHY?!

    Some groups of people just put up with that shit, and the drivers of that are cultural at scale.

    Where did it say that it was only one University's statistics? Georgetown did the study, the numbers aren't just from GU

    There's literally nothing in the tweet pointing to that.

    Just Georgetown's stats.

    I mean I was an elementary school kid with an Iverson jersey too, just saying they are (I think) a private college so they aren't indicative of public college stats, which is what I care about.

    And yes at UW most minorities in my program were asian, or white with russian origin.

    If you read the following sentence according to a University of Washington study married people have less sex would you think they were only talking about married people who attended the University of Washington?

    They aren't just Georgetown's stats.

    Why should I assume UW isn't just going off of their own shitty polls? Isn't that what we do here?

    You're hung up on something when I already made my point about the larger issue.

    At the end of the day in modern society the things that can take you off if you don't come from money aren't that glamorous.

    At scale, some cultures put up with it and put pressure on people to put up with it. Some cultures see it for what it is, which is hard and competitive, and possibly not fulfilling.

    To your point on the original topic, the individuals that go through the bullshit to get hired toward the top at wells fargo or wherever probably don't fit the mission statement of the Inclusion and Diversity department at Angel-Invested-Website-B.com downtown.

    There's too much grey area here to really have a good discussion though. If you're making comments like he did you don't give a fuck at this time.

    It’s a stupid comment, even if true. Why even go there?
