BOMBSHELL VIDEO 🚨:

This is the most salient 3-minute clip from a long all-hands on "Diversity and Inclusion" at @AmericanExpress

On how they're going to stack the deck against white men (@ ~15s): "how are we going to do this? We're going to do it through a focus on recruitment, we're going to do it through a focus on actually helping people progress their careers through promotion and through retaining great talent and we're going to do it through a culture that's truly inclusive where everyone feels they can belong and they can bring their best talent to work every single day."

Translation: we're going to lean hard on our recruiters to prefer candidates who are not white men. We're going to lean hard on our managers to promote employees who are not white men. Expressed (heh) through a feminized, moralizing framing of inclusivity and belonging.

Recruiters and leaders will be scored on how well they do to advance towards these diversity quotas/targets, and almost certainly will be praised if they outperform. That's how targets work; you don't think they want to just stop at x%, do you anon? No, it's meant to be aggressive but achievable.

More (@ 2:22) : "We've been focused on this area for a number of years, and we have made tremendous progress. And certainly when you look at our representation versus the industry, we are actually ahead in terms of the tech industry. However, the tech industry is not as well represented as other industries. So again, we have a lot to do."

When you get systemically disadvantaged for hiring or promotion, they call this "tremendous progress." And despite being "ahead" of the industry, there's still "a lot to do." Until we are 100% diverse, there is more work to be done!

Continuing on: "And you can see that we're looking to improve across all dimensions, including really cementing our senior leadership roles, where we would get close to and in some cases match the company aspirations for senior leadership."

Again, they call you being denied entry or pushed out "improvement", and they're looking to "improve" across the board at every level. Formal disadvantage in hiring, promotion. They just come right out and say it, with what they think is a positive message of course.

Take this realistic scenario: there are 5 director roles, only one of which is an open. They want to promote one of the managers into it. There are currently 3 male directors and 1 female. There are two managers up for promotion. As the male manager, you've got no shot, because the VP making the decision is scored on having a ~30% female director org. There's literally nothing you can do about it besides troon out. As long as this sort of policy exists, it will drive outcomes.

"So now I'm going to talk to you about how we as a team are going to do this, and it's definitely a we and not an I."

Another passive aggressive flex. Not only are we going to have this policy that explicitly disadvantages you, but you're going to help us implement it (unspoken: "or else").

I'll leave you with one more thing. This is not unique to American Express, not even a little. I've sat through these presentations. I have seen this at every Fortune 500 company I've ever interacted with or researched. I have seen this in the Federal Government (pre-Trump) and the United States Armed Forces. I have seen this at startups. This is literally and explicitly systemic discrimination. They boast about it openly everywhere you go to flex on you.

It can't go on. #OperationChimpOut
More Amex employees have chimed in.

The common theme? These employees do not have the required skills, they lie from the jump. There's no recourse, so the competent Americans being pushed out shoulder an ever-increasing load.

These employees defraud our immigration system, then defraud our corporations, make working there hell, the existing workforce, products and services all suffer.Image

White guy gets called at 4am to keep the lights on while more and more frauds flood in, which causes the outages to occur more frequently, with fewer white guys to KTLO.

If it keeps on raining, levee's going to break. Image

I am now in possession of a video from an Amex Employee where the Indian boss of the Indian boss of an Indian boss says at an all-hands how he noticed that the Indians on slack were much more happy that Amandeep got promoted to SVP "and thats because we see him as one of us"
That insider has expressed that every layer of management in that org from Manager to Director to VP to VP III to SVP (but not EVP) to CIO is ALL Indians.

How many layers of management does this company need?!

Also states 50 roles went to India this year.
Clarification: this department had only 50 open roles this year, and all went to India.

More FedEx insiders weigh in, bother former customers and employees.

Apparently my thread is going around FedEx right now. One insider says, "People are heated over what's happening there. I've shared it with others and they're so glad it's getting attention". Image

Addendum to the addendum, by yet ANOTHER current employee. Image

BREAKING 🚨: Received a DM from a current FedEx employee regarding Sriram Krishnasamy, the former head of FedEx Dataworks who was forced out due to "a monthslong investigation into a personnel matter within his unit, according to a report."

Apparently it's an open secret that he was cooking the books. He's been awarded a $3.3M payout as part of the deal.

Additionally, he is apparently married to an Accenture exec, who was at one point an IT manager at Fedex, possibly nominally working for FedEx through Accenture. Word is that Sriram exclusively funneled all IT contracts through Accenture. Accenture would then outsource the work to Indians in India.

The new head of DataWorks is Vishal Talwar... who also worked at Accenture 😐

Started in 2020 (through an acquisition I believe) and analysts estimate their revenue to be about $10M. Their headcount: six hundred.

Cursory glance at LinkedIn shows a majority of employees are of subcontinental origin.
Per , we see that they filed almost 200 applications for H-1B 2022-2024, all of which were certified. Average salaries ranging from $125k in 2022 to $143k in 2024, not including bonus or equity. myvisajobs.com/employer/fedex…Image

Coincides with them losing USPS contract. I’ve heard from mutuals who live in the region that he’s also doing the IT subcontractor Indian population transfer and demographically replacing Memphis suburbs. Stories of 90% white neighborhoods flipping to majority Hindoo since 2020.
Some more anecdata. One fren who asked not to be named is a teacher at a middle school in the town of Collierville, tells me it’s 80% Hindoo now. They all attend ESL after school, none of them speak English.

Random towns in middle America flooded with global south turd worlders. Image

20% Hindoo is insane given the towns demographics prior to 2020. But I had misunderstood my frend, who clarified it was Schilling Farms Elementary, which has 80% minority enrollment, 50% of which is Hindoo.

Which is even more concerning, because they’re an even larger chunk of younger population.Image

That bullet going 2" to the side would have us in the worst possible position, but now we're in by far the best, better even than if Trunks were to win bigly in November.

*Vox gay voice* Allow me to explain:
If the attempt on his life never happened, and he won in November, they could run the same playbook as 2016-2020. Rioting, abuse of the courts to gum up the works and hurt the agenda.

He'd have a mandate, but nearly half the country would still think crushing would be too far.
And if they successfully got our guy 2 days ago, we'd have no schelling point, no one to rally about, GOPe would never let anybody good to take the reins, there'd be internecine party battles etc.

MAGA guys might go violent giving D's pretext to persecute the hell out of us.

Late to the game; I was celebrating my day off (thanks blacks), but here's my Juneteenth 🧵

You can tell the celebration of this "holiday" is fetishistic by the imagery selection and enthusiasm level, which is only otherwise matched in celebrating poopdick pride.

Here's MLS.

Pepco. Would you look at all the engagement their virtue signaling gets? So worth it.
