Diversity In Action

One of the Shitshow’s HR mantras is that diversity breeds strength.  To reinforce this idea, diversity posters are displayed throughout the campus.  To help celebrate and encourage diversity the Shitshow has set up various clubs for various races, creeds and sexual orientation.  And to show everyone that the Shitshow is serious about diversity each of these clubs have an executive sponsor.  Externally, the Shitshow goes out of it’s way to show diversity on it’s career websites and   list that it’s an equal opportunity employer in everyone of it’s job postings. 

I for one agree with the idea of diversity breeding strength and I like the idea of having various clubs to celebrate and educate all of us on the various cultures, creeds and sexual orientations.  Even if part of it is just a PR move on the Shitshow, these types of actions can only help bring a better understanding and respect towards others. 

With the Shitshow taking diversity so seriously, I do have one question.  Why do I, and all other Shitshow employees, have to work on Martin Luther King Jr. Day?  After all, Dr. King was one of the most, if not the most, influential figures in the civil rights movement helping right the wrong of hundreds and hundreds of years.    

Because the Shitshow doesn’t let Martin Luther King Jr. get in its way of diversity, I throw rocks.
