Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Best Buy - This program is not open to white applicants

"The Best Buy memo laid out opportunities for employees to accelerate their place in management in the company if they met certain qualifications.

"We're excited to announce awesome news about the McKinsey professional development programs! As a part of Best Buy's commitment to develop and support our employees, we've partnered with McKinsey & Company to offer the McKinsey Leadership Programs," the memo reportedly from Best Buy said. "These professional development programs customize its curriculum and discussions to the unique situations, experiences and opportunities of diverse professionals."

The program would help with management acceleration and "enhance their leadership through a mini-MBA style curriculum." It would teach "strategy development, critical thinking, networking and problem solving."

To qualify for the program, the memo states that employees must be in a salaried role, have worked more than a year at Best Buy, identify as black, Latino, Hispanic, Asian, or Pacific Islander, and can commit to the hours of the available programs.

“Our main focus through the collaboration of the cohorts is to create a space where everyone feels valued and included,” Senior Manager of Strategic Initiatives, Inclusion and Diversity Georgia Vahoua said on Best Buy's website. “In addition to the core leadership and management skills that are learned, each cohort also provides a strong networking opportunity for its members that lasts long after the program ends.”

If a man can identify as a woman, why can’t a cracker identify as a darkie????

Ping!!

““Our main focus through the collaboration of the cohorts is to create a space where everyone feels valued and included,”

Well, everyone but white folks. This should go right to court, as on it’s face, it is exclusionary and racist.

I saw this a few days ago and it stopped me from going there to get a USB cord.

I ordered it on-line.

We all know the outcome had the ad stated “employee must identify as white”.

Haven't been in a Best Buy in years anyway, but I hope the company crashes hard and all involved in this burn in eternal Hellfire....

My first thought...

I await the outcome when employees sue for racial discrimination.

yep


yep.

I hope they get sued by employees that would otherwise be qualified.

To paraphrase Jordan Peterson, the power-swapping back and forth between vengeful groups will continue until the players can agree that it's wrong to treat any individual in a non-merited, discriminatory way, regardless of what tribe or group their appearance indicates that they should "belong to". If this can't happen, it will just be groups taking turns sticking it to the other and saying "see how you like it now!". He's not wrong.

Is Best Buy's main product still extended warranties?

I told the lady at the hospital, "I identify as a twenty year old black girl." Since I am an old cracker, she was flabbergasted for a moment and didn't respond. " I kidding," I told her.
