Wait, how does your advice answer your question about the event? Are you saying that you shouldn't host a diversity event because it doesn't explicitly match the four things you listed? Because someone might not like the event? I don't get it.
It seems like what he's saying is that you shouldn't allow it to happen because it's not strictly work-related but I find it hard to agree with that thinking.
The whole position is summed up as "Be a corporate drone." I think a lot of us would disagree with it.
Many of us don't care.
If you don't care then it seems like allowing people who do care to hold their women in technology groups or whatever would be fine.
except when its disruptive, which is when i do care.
I thought silicon valley loved disruption.
For instance?
Well I was just thinking of it interfering withwork
In what way would it interfere with work?
its happening at work no? what does it have to do with work otherwise?
Ok, it's happening at the office. So how is it interfering with anyone's work?
Just like any in-office demonstration interferes. Its not special in any way you know.
"Demonstration"? I've never met anyone who opposes any kind of workplace activity (say, charitable giving or birthday parties) whatsoever.
