re: #268 SidewaysQuark

I don’t get it - is Salon suggesting corporations need to hire mind readers to spot ‘racists’ before they make tasteless tweets?

Assuming you were serious in that question… no, Salon is suggesting corporations need hiring practices so people with those mindsets aren’t the ones they put in charge.

Look, the reality is that a lot of people in business ‘echo the boss’. If in doubt as to what’s going to be permitted, look at what your boss does.

And just as bad, a boss like that tends shrug at someone below them doing this (unless it splashes on them).

The end result is that the attitude permeates the company.

So hiring agents should strive to prevent people who hold those attitudes from being in positions of authority.
