Diversity is NOT our strength
-
It is human nature for us to hire people who are like ourselves - and/or have competencies beyond our own. I had a 50 something friend apply for a job at Google. She is brilliant and very capable - but she didn't have a chance of being hired by a 20 or 30 something. They don't want "old" folks working at their enterprise. Old folks don't fit in. And, I don't blame them. Diversity is one of those flashcard words. No criticism is permitted- lalalala...I'm not listening.
