IF YOU ARE ANTI DEI, YOU ARE ANTI MAXIMUM PROFITS.

A friend inspired this post. So, I am looking at buying your business. I need to know as a policy you have sought to hire the best of the best, otherwise your business could prove to be a burden.

If you have an all-white male business I know for sure as a matter of policy, you do not hire only the best.

A long time ago, about 1986, I was hired at LTV to work on the B1B Bomber. In production control there was only one black man and one woman, out of hundreds of employees. This was not an intentional policy of discrimination.

The problem was you only got hired if recommended by a supervisor who was a relative and friend of the family. They were all white men, so they only recommended white men.

The process denied non-nepos getting hired. I was determined to get hired on merit, but for 6 months could not even get an interview. My ex-father recommended me, and the next day I was hired. I was not a victim of traditional discrimination. I was a victim of a hiring model which did not hire based on merit. Once hired I moved up so fast, I could not believe it. I did not have daddy protecting me as a nepo-hire. I was a whiz at computers, for the time, and remade the inventory control system with actual computer engineers.

What DEI does is insure you have a better pool of candidates to choose from so you can hire only the best. A good DEI program reaches out to all groups and not just the traditional HR options.

When you hire only the best, you will make more money.

If I am buying your business and you only have white men working for you, I will question whether you actually hired the best or just from the traditional pool of candidates.

Because if you have not hired from the best, then I will have to fire and rehire too many people to make your business a profitable company.
