I’m surprised that the hiring instructions were put down in the form of email. Everything about the directive is a violation of the Civil Rights Act and typically would be given verbally. Trouble is, the Biden Office od Civil Rights (I think that’s it) has demonstrated that reported civil rights violations against whites, particularly men, are not something they’re likely to investigate. The CRA of 1964 has been selectively enforced almost from the very beginning.
The best time to push this would be after SCOTUS rules on college admittance racial discrimination. If it goes the way I think it will, racial discrimination against white males in the work place is the next logical case that needs to go to SCOTUS.

darthfusterOver the years I've come to understand that when dealing with Leftists one must use their logic and tactics against them. In this case, identify as female. For intersectionality, identify as a minority atheist female. All bases covered. You may have to wear fishnets and stilettos to work for the next two years.

medic451Hire the biggest most useless piece of shits you can. When your company is fucked in a few years and your gone enjoying retirement you can laugh at their own misfortune.

Russ59What’s the current make up of your workforce? males, females POC? Will the women and POC come from within or external hires?

CD228That's a bad position they are putting you in. I'm glad you are able to vent here.
I think your plan to hang in and collect your retirement and benefits is a good.
Hopefully, you'll get some quality candidates.

StorminNorminThis kind of crap is what really pisses me off. Forget hiring who is the best person for the job regardless of who they are, let’s make quotas to make you hire certain people based on sex or race. A goal or hope is fine, but if they are picking people not as qualified to make those goals then that is discrimination pure and simple.

frayedendsThis is biotech. The breakdown on the goal for "people of color" is 12% black, 10% hispanic, and 14% Asian.
I have no idea how or why they had this breakdown. In the industry meeting the Asian quota is quite easy. After all, Asians are super smart in the STEM fields. We don't have many black people, certainly not 10% overall. However, I have one person that reports to me and that makes me beat the quota because I only have 5 direct reports.
These go to eleven.

flesheatingvirusNothing racist about forced diversity just for the sake of diversity.
Let the white, male guilt FLOOOOOW through you.
Or not. Just go have a beer and a sandwich. It sucks that you have 2 years to put up with that crap before you can start shopping around.

apprenticeSave that email, and talk to an attorney pronto.
There may be nothing for it, but if there is you want to be the one with the surprises.

1s1kWhere do you live that you could have 37% of your workforce POC. The percentage of POC in the U.S. is something like 25%.
We hire every sing POC that applies and we probably have 5%.

Sig2340Focus your interviews on finding the Caucasian men to fill 50% of senior management positions and 63% of positions overall.
Why?
Because others will interview only women and POC.
Now if you happen to interview a women and/or POC and the person has the requisite knowledge to do the job and you then recommend the candidate be hired, that’s evidence you need to redouble your interviews of Caucasian men.
Two can play this game.

2BobTannerI wouldn’t be surprised that if a non-POC is unsuccessful in the application/interview process that a discrimination lawsuit isn’t filed, against the company and those involved in the hiring (to include interview panel). Make certain that you keep that email so that it could be used in court.

I don't know about biotech, but I've applied to a lot of places this past year and many of them, I was required to fill out an application in addition to giving them my resume. In the application is all the demographics stuff.
