Report Shows Another Diversity Challenge: Retaining Employees (sfchronicle.com)

An anonymous reader shares a report: Women, blacks and Latinos are far more likely to quit jobs in tech than white or Asian men, according to a new report by the Kapor Center for Social Impact. The Oakland nonprofit commissioned an online survey by the Harris Poll, which asked 2,006 people who voluntarily left tech jobs in the past three years about why they quit. It found women were twice as likely to leave as men (alternative link), while black and Latino tech workers were 3.5 times likelier to quit than white or Asian colleagues. The most common reason they gave for their departures was workplace mistreatment.

In my black, female opinion (I'm transgender and transracial):

As a bodybuilding Zambian with a big penis (I'm transphysique, transphallic and transnational) I'm offended by your misuse of the word "trans". It should not just be used on a whim to make a point.

Where I work it is equal opertunities in IT!

Back in the days, virtue signaling would get someone a wedgie or at least a burning bag of dog shit. Now those people get Facebook Likes. I don't know if society comes out a winner.
