ah yes, the games industry https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2021-01-27-activision-blizzard-says-interviewing-diverse-candidates-for-every-opening-unworkable

Like, I'm sorry that you make 17 MILLION DOLLARS PER DAY and can't be arsed to put any money toward actual recruiting

Like, just so we're completely, fully clear

Blizzard's argument here is that it can't follow the progressive standards of

<checks notes> the NFL

We're super-diverse!

...except in who we're willing to interview for jobs

And again, just to be clear, Blizzard isn't even actually being *asked to do this* yet

What they're protesting is even having to *talk about it with their shareholders*

"interviewing diverse candidates would interfere with our ability to compete for talent"

Like they're actually out there just saying that "talent" = "white"

"We won't do it on our own, and asking us to even *discuss* it is 'micromanaging'."

cool, cool, very normal, very rational, very honest
