A comment on Reverse Diversity.

When I worked at LinkedIn my entire team was Indian, my manager was Indian and the entire chain of command up to Satya Nadella was Indian with the exception of Ryan Rolansky the CEO of LinkedIn who will 100% be replaced by an Indian when he exits.

Indian people arent smarter or harder workers than white people or asians...so the obvious conclusion is that this is cronyism.

And this is considered 100% diverse!

Its frustrating how 'diversity' just means less white people nowadays.

How many of those people worked in India? For the part of the workforce that was actually based in India, the labor costs would be dramatically lower. If these were all Indian employees working in the U.S. then yes, you're likely right.

They all worked here in America. However we had an entire team that worked in tandem with us based out of India and the internal push within LinkedIn was to move more of the workforce to India.

Tech as a stable middle class job in America is dying.
