Tech companies: make remote work part of your diversity and inclusion efforts
A big part of the rational and moral justification for diversity initiatives and affirmative action programs, as I understand them, is as a means to help correct the history of institutional racism and discrimination in this country.<p>So while the idea that meeting and working &quot;with folks from all over the world—Croatia, France, Germany, Ireland, South Africa, the Philippines, Mexico, and others&quot; is appealing, for me it sidesteps the major issues diversity efforts should be addressing. And as an outsourcing mechanism, it can serve as a means of wage suppression, which has also exacerbated social divisions in this country.
