Firms sign up to 10000BlackInterns scheme for workplace diversity

Even if they don't qualify? Or are they going to lower the standards just so they can?

Do the black interns get their own water cooler too ?

In other words they got the jobs because of the colour of their skin, not ability. TheWorldOwesMe

Should be based on ability to do the job & not about race (or gender). Why put someone in a position based on the colour of their skin? What chance do they have to progress? How many of their colleagues will see them as a token gesture? It's not fair & it will cause problems.

😂 Unpaid work for black people? 😂😂😂 Have we gone full circle?

'workplace diversity'.... i.e. anti-white hiring practices

I still have to come qualified for my jobs.

This is what actual systemic racism looks like.

This is awful. Tokenistic at best. Horrifically racist at actual.

it would make sense to make sure they’re PAID internships or else this is a recipe for even more exploitation 🙄

Don’t they want paid work?

Why not the best candidate for the roles regardless of race religion sex disability etc

I went earlier into few shops/service providers - saw through the door that they are not wearing masks (while selling food) - said to myself f**k em, and went away.
