    what u mean?

    AWS is a server hosting service owned by Amazon; they are mainly known for their VPS and web hosting services. An estimated 40% of the entire cloud market (ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET) is owned by AWS. This includes owning the entire infrastructure for big companies like Netflix.

    why are you assuming increase in workforce diversity = increasing racial tension? based on the article it sounds like the exact opposite.

    happier employees are less likely to unionise, so more diverse workforces are happier. same reason higher pay = less unionisation.

    The basis of the recent corporate diversity training job market is to heighten stress in diverse workforces.

    If diversity program in corporations actually made workers happier and help bring them together towards a common goal to better their communal standing, job titles like "diversity ambassador" wouldn't be the fast-rising, high income, pro-capital career path it currently is. Positions like "diversity manager" and HR perversions like "diversity and inclusion resources" wouldn't have been turned into permanent roles in many corporate offices.

    The benficial stats of corporate diversity programs is a laundry-list of pro-capital gains, not pro-worker:

    If these programs benefitted workers emotionally, financially, or positionally, they would be more of abrief corporate sweep that introduces positive communal policies akin to a workplace bonding retreat with more substantial and lasting results among the workforce.

    It wouldn't be producing 6 figure salary careers in a range of different corporate positions, from recruitment, HR, marketing, PR, et. al. It wouldn't be championed as "raising human capital per employee" by a third, or increasing business revenue. (Be sure to let me know when the workers experience any benefits from these leaps in human capital and revenue btw.) It wouldn't be highly dependent on those with specialized academic language (or especially trending academic celebrity) that creates an inherently patronizing dynamic between the people in these new positions and workers.

    It (hopefully) wouldn't include processes like rebranding major American corporations and conglomerates as pro-inclusion and pro-equality by plastering diversity/inclusion mission statements on their main website's homepages and social media profiles — in the same year those same corporation have been suspected of employing forced minority and child labor overseas in order to reap the pro-capital benefits that come from exploiting their domestic workforce under a corporate diversity program's thumb.

    But hey, it's not like executive pursuit of American capital has a history going back 400 years of promoting racial/ethnic differences to the forefront of workers' awareness in order to significantly increase production and preemptively stomp out collectivism....right?

    I didn't once say increased diversity is pro-worker, anything that any giant public company does is going to be pro-capital

    I'm not sure what the point of this is, because again, none of what you are saying suggests increased workforce diversity means increased racial tension. You said the job of diversity training is to heighten stress which is also a random leap which makes no sense. Do you think more tense and stressed employees = more profits? There is a wealth of studies to back up the opposite

    In many cases the bottom line can be increased through actions which negatively impact the worker - not all cases

    Literally your words:

    happier employees are less likely to unionise, so more diverse workforces are happier.

    ??

    none of what you are saying suggests increased workforce diversity means increased racial tension.

    Increased diversity in the workforce indeed doesn't mean increased racial tension. That tension — what i described as "stress" that you take out of context immediately after this statement — is the product of corporate diversity programs and the normalization of those positions. Just hiring a more diverse group of people wont increase/produce such stresses in the vast majority of environments, and a 5-armed diversity taskforce isn't required to increase employment diversity.

    But those specialized programs (especially when concrete) are founded on the concept of bringing racial/ethnic disparities, guilt, prejudices (which have appeared to be largely in the realm of unconscious), to the surface of worker interaction — introducing notions of subjective weight and unease into daily working behavior. (The white lady who wrote White Fragility is even a corporate diversity ambassador now for christ's sake.)

    In many cases the bottom line can be increased through actions which negatively impact the worker - not all cases

    You should've added a quote from Proverbs after this, it might've given it more weight.

    Absolutely nothing to say regarding diversity programs existing simulatenously with minority and child slave labor under the same corporations, huh?

    My words what? Do you think happy workers is anti capitalist?

    You're just pulling s*** out of your ass and making assumptions, all I'm doing is using the sources presented in this thread

    The fact that you think there being employees dedicated to increasing diversity and inclusion awareness and sensitivity exists only to being guilt and prejudice is hilarious and is again not backed up by anything

    Mentioning child slave labour has nothing to do with anything, peak strawman. Just because a company uses child labour does not mean they cannot have any positive policies anywhere throughout the company

    The bottom line is this: the article provided in OP states higher paid workers are less likely to unionise. It also states a more diverse workforce is less likely to unionise. To say one of those is a bad thing and another isn't makes 0 sense. Unless you think workers getting paid more is a bad thing, in which case idk what to say to you

    If two point-by-point explanations is too much for you grasp right now feel free to try again at a later date. Keep your chin up in the meantime baby. 😘
