Silicon Valley Bank, bankruptcy seen from Human Resources

Silicon Valley Bank was one of the companies to spearhead the ideas of Inclusion and Diversity, back at the beginning of the last decade, proposing that positions be filled by oppressed or racialized minorities, within this theory, what counts is not the merit of a worker, but rather their ethnic group, gender or lack of social justice towards that person.

And contrary to the recommendations of the experts, their recruitment and promotion policies were based on those political ideas, so if they had to choose between a candidate with the appropriate preparation or another, who did not have it, but who had the correct skin color or the appropriate genitals, the latter was chosen; many delicate positions were occupied by people who did not meet the minimum requirements.

But the problem did not stop there, if you hire people who consider themselves social vigilantes, you will have a serious problem, the environment became very toxic, colleagues did not talk to their colleagues, for fear of false accusations, divisions were created and alternative channels of power, some executives were fired, using the silver bullet of "harassment", being replaced by women, whose job was to promote feminism, not work, so the Risk Management groups, which should be dedicated to mathematical risk assessments, they did not have a single mathematician, and they were only dedicated to holding conferences on gender ideology, and propagating their sectarian faith in the company.

Thus, vital positions, which were needed for daily administration, did not perform their functions, in one of the few external evaluations that were allowed to be done, there were positions, whose function was one, but in reality, nothing was done there, it was considered that propagating gender ideology was part of the job, and instead of evaluation meetings on some topic, feminist meetings were held, for example, instead of doing a probabilistic risk assessment, using Markov Chains, they began to do inclusion and diversity proposals (according to a reliable source, at the 8M 2022 meeting, the financial risk of the end of the pandemic was not discussed, but rather the inclusion of non-binary people in the company), there were female managers, who at one Financial Prospecting evaluation meeting, they presented themselves with gender ideology speeches, and they were still paid.

When a financial institution stops carrying out risk assessments and its finances are managed with Gender Ideology, it is inevitable that what happens to the Silicon Valley Bank, it did not even know what hit it, something that in any Bank would have been Risk Management routine, this one was stopped, because "it was not important."

Hiring fanatical people, who try to put their Ideology into everything, whether gender or victimizing, is the equivalent of hiring a Communist, it is going to cause problems, because they are not going to dedicate themselves to work, but to spread their political faith, this must If it is a warning for many other companies, this is the first, in which there is concrete evidence that:

Go Woke, Go Broke

From ARH Consulting, we already saw it coming, because a political group within a company rots it from the inside, paralyzes it and prevents it from fulfilling even its most basic functions, creating a toxic environment, where unity and trust are They break up, fire people or stop hiring capable people, and in their place "activists" who know nothing about the job are hired, alternative routes of power are created, where a given order is not carried out, but is discussed, It modifies based on the political agenda of these groups and generally, it is not followed, but transformed, to such a point that it is absolutely useless.

Woke=Communist or Woke=Anarchist

  How can we define a Woke? Obviously the term Progressive is not the correct one, because they are not Progressive, but Retrograde, they are incapable of tolerating any opinion different from theirs, which places them closer to inquisitorial thinking. that of a democratic one, more belonging to the dark ages, such as the Middle Ages or Stalinism, in addition, they hate Science, which is the herald of Western Democracy, and are usually very dogmatic, they only repeat a few ideas, and are incapable to abandon them.

Without a doubt, their thinking is Marxist, only the terms have changed, for example, feminism, instead of Class Struggle, is now one of Genders, instead of Oppressive Capitalism, they invented the concept of Oppressive Patriarchy and are called themselves fighters for equality, when in reality they only seek privileges, official positions and a fee to earn money; The same for Blacks, where Critical Race Theory says the same thing, but instead of Men, they change everything for Whites, the same for LGBTQPs, who hide their perversions under Oppression and the same thing is repeated.

The Real woke flag

In this way they are convinced that they must fight against a supposed inequality, against an invisible, all-powerful and clear enemy, they can justify anything with that thought of hate.

However, there is a huge range of Marxists, from the moderate ones to the extremists, such as the Anarchists or the Maoists, in my opinion, the Wokes fall into the last category, they are closer to the anarchists, (defund the Police, the criminals are victims, etc.), and just as radical, they do not tolerate any opinion different from their own and opt for violence immediately, from simple Cancellation to Physical Violence.

Therefore I propose that any of the following terms be used instead of Progre:

1. Retro
2.  Inquisitors
3.  Anarchist
4.  Depraved
5.  Farts
6. Intolerant

3 reasons not to have a DEI department

The DEI Departments (Diversity, Eqality and Inclusion) have spread like weeds by many companies, as a result of political pressure from activists and woke graduates of many Universities, and they are painted as a kind of social obligation of Companies. , as a way to demonstrate that they are committed to society, or as a way to integrate new audiences or new consumers, and a lot of Social Engineering arguments, in which many have fallen.

But experience is showing that it is a terrible idea, there are already many companies that can speak with real experience, what a DEI is, and they are not in the least a good idea, the three main reasons are:

1. They create a toxic environment in the company, feminists convince women that everything is aggression, creating an internal division, where colleagues no longer speak to their colleagues, where there is fear in the hallways of being falsely accused, even Bosses can no longer do their job, and quite a few can no longer even ask their secretary to do her job.

2. Their interest is political, spreading their political faith is much more important than the needs of the company, there are a couple of paradigmatic cases in this, Bud Light and Buzz Lightyear, where their interest in spreading their ideas, insulting their consumers , to its clients and distributors, caused losses of millions of dollars, and these are only the best known, because this is being repeated everywhere, advertisements that instead of promoting a company and its functions, are used to propagate a political idea. , and people hate politics, ergo your product.

3 The worst of all is that they infect the company, they are socialists and effectively their ideas are to destroy capitalism from within, they begin to usurp time and money on things that are absolutely useless for the proper functioning of the company, for example, they use work time to give "awareness courses", which only serve to destabilize the internal structure, it is effectively like having a Bolshevik cell within the company, they are psychopathic activists, who are willing to go on strike for ridiculous reasons, and who They have no interest in the well-being of the company nor any respect for management, on top of being a bottomless pit of money and believing that they can rule over everyone else, because they are "morally superior" to everyone, including owners and managers, that they must be deconstructed, to accept that the company is run by the wokes or otherwise, be "re-elevated", by the appropriation of oppressive private property, as they call them.

The result is terrible, large companies like SVB or TFX have already fallen, others have lost the trust of their clients, distributors or shareholders, which is why many are making the sensible decision to fire the DEI and no longer hire activists. no type, in fact it is very important to review the profiles of the candidates for a position and verify that they are not activists, because they are pure political poison for a company and if you do not want to end up poor, hungry and cold in a gulag, for being an oppressive capitalist, better fire them.

Reflections on the Glass Ceiling

One of the arguments of hate, most used by feminism, to incite its followers, is to make them believe that there is intrinsic discrimination against women, to which they must react with indignation and violence, and with that they already have them. Under their control, hatred is fundamental in these types of movements.

Its theoretical foundation is the fact that very few women hold management positions, although of course, this is only apparent, there are many companies whose owners are women, and to give a concrete example, the Corona Group, under the leadership of Miss Aramburu, who is also the richest woman in Mexico, and this is not a unique case, many owners tend to inherit equally to their sons or daughters, and many times, their fortunes fall into the hands of women, even if they are not their relatives. , such as the Benson or Bracht Companies.

But being an owner requires exhausting skill and management capacity, it is not easy to be one, not everyone has that feeling, it is not unusual for the heir of a great businessman to have neither the taste nor the interest, so many owners, leave their companies in the hands of others, or simply their heirs bankrupt or sell them, which would deserve an article in itself, but the essence is that there are both women and men in the highest position of a company, and in my experience , the generation of the 50s and 60s, preferred their daughters.

In the next range are the management positions, which indeed have many more men, but it is not a question of discrimination, but rather a work fact, men and women have a very different biology and behavior in the company, a fifth Variable to the famous lyrics of Adizes, the reason, simple, is that they have different ways of thinking and acting, but above all, they have different motivations.

A man lives to work, that is his social function, what motivates him to work, make an effort and spend hours in the company, is that he does it for his children, for his wife, every extra hour is extra salary or the possibility To advance, work for love, and that is the best reason, (of course I am focused on the best, because I am talking about the highest positions), on the negative side, spending 18 hours in the company has a negative effect on your family, something that many consider in the difficult decision of being with their children or buying things for them, finally, there is the biological question, a man tends to resist physical effort better, so in positions that require it, women are usually in disadvantage.

On the other hand, with women things are not so simple, their motivation has a marked dividing line: before pregnancy, they are willing to make the same efforts as men and give their work 100%, but afterward, No, the reasons are biological and emotional, a baby physiologically needs its mother, it is not unusual for a woman to have to make a very difficult decision, my baby or my job, and it is very, very common that the more responsible she is, As a worker, she ends up deciding that her main responsibility, be it as a mother and leaves her job, or only works part time, stops being committed to the company and her motivation drops to 50%. If before she stayed until she finished, now she strictly adheres to it. to the schedule, for all practical purposes, derails their career, something that men do not usually do, this was the reason, why many companies did not hire women, particularly if the training was expensive, because they would only last a short time in the company, while men tended to stay for life.

As I said before, the man has a benign motivation, he does it for his loved ones, but in the case of the woman, there are a couple of reasons, if she has children, she will do it for them, but maintaining the balance between work and family is not It's easy, it ends up wearing them down and they tend to get much more Stress, as the old saying goes: "he who serves two masters", can never be focused on the company's objectives, leaves for family matters are very frequent, which It does not make her eligible for promotions, and many women are happy that way, they tend to spend forever in a stable position that does not require much commitment, that makes them excellent administrators, so much so that sometimes they tend to become bureaucratized.

The second reason is much more complicated, when they do not have children and work only for themselves, this usually has strong consequences, on the one hand, their personality belongs to the selfish side, which causes them to be unempathetic as bosses, being especially cruel to her subordinates, on the other hand, her character becomes bitter, causing a bad work environment, as many women know, the worst boss is this type of woman, who finds no more reason to live, who obtains all social validation from her work, These types of attitudes of first me, then me and last me, usually cause very low efficiency, poor communication, a lot of personal friction and usually end in financial losses. And on the more personal, more philosophical aspect, what's the point of working if you live alone? The occupational risk with this type of woman is, after Stress, the high number of them who commit suicide shortly after retiring, it seems that the day after retiring, they lose 20 years, when they realize that they are alone and without love from anyone, something for which no human being is prepared, in fact the entire social construct is to make our children happy, and That's what working is for, money, power, fine clothes, they're not going to run to you, with open arms.

So the myth of the Glass Ceiling has been debunked again, but since it is a political dogma, designed to manipulate and fill the minds of its followers with hatred, it will continue to be repeated, because as the Nazis said: "a lie, repeated a thousand times." "It seems true"

Welcome

 Welcome everybody to this new Human Resources Blog, in wich i will discuss the most important situations of my expertise in the field, the new approaches and above all, their role in the moder Enterprise, from the efficience point of view, waht is fine, what is not working and what is pure bullshit.

In the current times, the modern enterprise is under attack from the socialists, the anticapitalism, who is trying to infiltrate the corporate world, to destroy from the inside, using activism, DEI policies, and finaly corrupt left wing politicians, to force their point of view.
