I’m old school… Hire people solely on merit.
@ScarDuck14Agreed but also allow them the opportunity to earn that merit. Then we won't ever be in the position where we feel people of certain genders (or ethnicities) are there just because
We really should get back on topic 🙂

@TotosHeadphonesBut earning that merit froms from working your way up and takes time. You don’t earn merit by simply being pushed in at the deep end to fill a quota.
As for taking threads off topic.. We are infamous for it. And is far better than just single post threads screaming about something like the FIFA boards.
- TotosHeadphones3 years agoSeasoned Ace@ScarDuck14 I think you're missing the point I'm making about getting the opportunity. It's not about the quota, it's about having the facilities or means to access that opportunity. As a pure example, females were banned from playing football for how many years after the men were established with so many leagues etc. They're now only really truly starting to invest in the game. Or the fact that schools never allowed girls to play football and had to play what maybe seen as a gendered sport in Netball. Now girls have an equal chance of getting the opportunity to play at higher levels because groundwork is there to do so. There are now more mixed teams kids football. That's what I mean about the opportunity, it's up to the to the individual to take it but it's there for them to work their way through on merit. No quota, if they're good enough, they're good enough but we won't know if they aren't given the equal chance to reach their potential. We see the quota when there not enough good people, so we get anyone to fill regardless of their quality.
- ScarDuck143 years agoLegend@TotosHeadphones Not missing the point at all… I fiercely defend the right for equal opportunity for everyone. What I don’t agree with is equality of outcome
- TotosHeadphones3 years agoSeasoned Ace@ScarDuck14 Oh, are we saying the same thing? 🤣
