Why is this in our IBJ. We don’t care to hear this political nonsense.
What about it makes you upset and uncomfortable?
How about becasue tariffs will impact Indianapolis Business.
I’d work for this guy.
+1
Love him reaffirming his commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion work. The business case has not changed, this work continues to be good for people and business.
Such a B.S article. He/Atlas is not committed to DEI, if he was mandated to hire 25% black and 40% White workers, we wouldn’t do it. He states 90% of the work force his hispanic. While I agree ALL companies should be based/built on meritocracy, Atlas certainly cannot claim itself to be purposely diverse….what a joke.
Griffin emphasizes that Atlas hires and promotes based purely on merit. That’s completely consistent with what the Trump administration is calling for and inconsistent with what DIE has become at most corporations, a de facto quota system. He then explains that about 90% of the laborers on Atlas trucks are Hispanic — many of them immigrants — because they’re the hardest workers, and he follows that up by adding what some would consider a racist comment, stating that Whites aren’t willing to do such hard work. A more honest statement would be that most non-immigrants are unwilling to work for the wages Atlas pays. And what does his CDO do? Hire almost exclusively Hispanics, apparently? When the fact is that most corporate DIE programs would require that Atlas have a representative proportion of all races and genders as laborers. How many women does he have doing heavy labor? So, either Griffin doesn’t understand DIE, or he’s just a phony, doing exactly the opposite what he claims.
His definition of DEI is about the most anti-DEI statement I’ve ever read. No version of DEI includes the word “meritocracy”. He’s also quite racist for a DEI diehard, he says NO white person wants to work hard. Get that everyone, no white person anywhere in the world. Since only Hispanics work hard, I dare him to include Black in that statement the next time he’s spews his old-timey racist views in public.
A real stand up guy. Hires based on merit(as every good CEO should), but thinks he is a DEI champion.
Tool.
