      Might be great to also sign up for accounts on lots of legitimate sites that love to send out email as well. Harder to blanket-ban those emails. Some that might be great:

      • LinkedIn profile and looking for work
      • Amazon and yes, I would love to hear about new offers and deals
      • Yes, I am looking to buy a new car and please email me new offers from all of your dealerships

      Prepared by: [Your Name]
      Subject: Investigation into the Hiring of a Suspected DEI Candidate

      Introduction

      This report presents an investigation into an individual suspected of being hired under the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiative, with concerns regarding their qualifications, experience, and motivations for the role. The individual in question has been hired for a DEI position, but questions have emerged about their expertise in the field and whether they were hired based on their alignment with the organization’s DEI goals or for other reasons, such as fulfilling diversity quotas.

      Background

      In recent months, the organization has made a concerted effort to enhance its diversity, equity, and inclusion practices, launching several DEI initiatives across departments. A key part of this effort involved the recruitment of individuals to fill DEI-focused roles. One such individual was hired for the newly created position of DEI Specialist. This candidate, though well-spoken and outwardly passionate about DEI, has attracted attention due to concerns about their qualifications and whether they were hired primarily to meet diversity goals rather than based on merit or relevant experience.

      Key Findings

      1. Questionable Qualifications The individual’s resume lists several experiences that seemingly align with DEI work, such as positions in community engagement, social justice advocacy, and educational outreach. However, upon closer inspection, there is a lack of specific DEI-related accomplishments or formal education in fields typically associated with DEI (e.g., sociology, psychology, organizational behavior). Moreover, the individual’s most recent role is described as a general administrative position with limited involvement in DEI-related projects. This raises questions about the depth of their expertise in implementing and driving DEI initiatives.

      2. Lack of DEI-Centric Experience Despite claims of previous experience in diversity-related roles, evidence of the candidate’s active involvement in DEI work is minimal. There is no substantive record of their contributions to significant DEI programs or any notable impact on organizational culture or policy. The few projects listed on their resume are either vague or appear to be non-DEI specific in nature, casting doubt on whether their prior experience is directly relevant to the objectives of the DEI role they were hired for.

      3. Concerns from Colleagues Some colleagues have expressed skepticism about the candidate’s qualifications and ability to meaningfully contribute to DEI initiatives. While the individual is often enthusiastic in meetings, several team members have noted a lack of depth in their understanding of DEI concepts and strategies. There are reports of the individual leaning heavily on surface-level talking points, without demonstrating a clear grasp of the complex and nuanced issues inherent to diversity and inclusion work.

      4. Background Check and References In an effort to further understand the candidate’s qualifications, HR initiated a background check and reached out to references provided by the candidate. While the individual’s previous employers and colleagues offered generally positive, though non-specific, feedback, no reference provided detailed examples of how the candidate contributed to DEI-related work. Furthermore, the candidate’s LinkedIn profile and public social media presence do not reflect a consistent history of involvement in DEI advocacy, leading to concerns that their professional image may have been crafted primarily for the purpose of securing a DEI role.

      5. Perceived Motivation for Hire There is speculation that the individual was hired to fulfill diversity quotas or to demonstrate the organization’s commitment to DEI without necessarily focusing on their qualifications for the role. This suspicion stems from the timing of the hire, coinciding with a public push to improve organizational diversity, as well as internal communications emphasizing the need for quick action in hiring diverse candidates. While it is possible that the individual is genuinely passionate about DEI, the lack of experience and qualifications has prompted concerns that they may not be the best fit for the position, particularly if their hire was motivated by the desire to meet diversity goals.

      Potential Implications

      The hiring of an individual with questionable qualifications for a DEI role could have several significant consequences for the organization:

      • Erosion of DEI Credibility: If the individual is unable to contribute meaningfully to the organization’s DEI objectives, it could undermine the credibility of the organization’s diversity initiatives and its commitment to making substantive changes.

      • Internal Discontent: Employees who are genuinely committed to DEI may feel frustrated or demotivated if the new hire is perceived as unqualified, potentially leading to dissatisfaction or a lack of engagement with DEI efforts.

      • Risk of Tokenism: If the hire is seen as a token appointment or as fulfilling a diversity quota rather than a merit-based decision, the organization could face accusations of tokenism, which could damage employee morale and public perception.

      • Missed Opportunities: The organization may miss the opportunity to bring in a highly qualified DEI professional who can drive meaningful change and create a more inclusive workplace.

      Next Steps

      1. Further Review of Qualifications: A more thorough review of the candidate’s qualifications should be conducted, including interviews with previous employers and a deeper dive into their experience with DEI initiatives.

      2. Feedback from DEI Team and Leadership: Input should be gathered from current DEI leaders within the organization to assess whether the individual is making progress in their role and if their work aligns with the goals of the DEI program.

      3. Evaluation of DEI Initiatives: The organization should evaluate the effectiveness of its current DEI initiatives and determine whether the new hire is able to contribute meaningfully to these efforts. This evaluation will help identify any gaps in the team and clarify whether the candidate is meeting the organization’s needs.

      4. Mentorship and Professional Development: If the individual shows promise but lacks experience, the organization could consider offering mentorship or additional training to help them grow into the role and better contribute to DEI goals.

      5. Consideration of Role Adjustment or Replacement: If the candidate is determined to be an inadequate fit for the DEI position, the organization should consider adjusting their responsibilities or even initiating a new search to find a more qualified candidate who can effectively support the organization’s DEI goals.

      Conclusion

      The hiring of a candidate with unclear qualifications for a DEI role raises significant concerns about the organization’s commitment to achieving its diversity goals through qualified leadership. While the individual may have potential, further investigation is necessary to ensure they are capable of making the meaningful contributions expected from such a pivotal position. The organization must assess whether this hire aligns with its broader DEI objectives and take appropriate action to ensure the success of its initiatives.

        The script you got is kinda the opposite of what you’d want it to write. This is for reporting someone for being not good enough at implementing DEI policies, which would be thrown out immediately as that’s the exact behavior the government now wants. The thing you’re looking to do is falsely report someone for implementing DEI.

          Again, probably not going to be as effective if you do something that can very easily be noticed and filtered out. They’re not going to try to translate the Spanish just in case it’s an earnest report, they’re just gonna delete it and move on. An effective fake report should force them to waste actual resource on investigating it.

              Again, not really the point of sending fake reports. They’d just see the Spanish, delete it, and move on. The point is to give them something they’ll see, want to read, and want to spend as much time interacting with as possible.

        Anne Frank didn’t die in a gas chamber. She was never in an extermination camp. She was at Auschwitz, not Auschwitz-Birkenau. She died in Bergen-Belsen, most likely from Typhus.

        Anyway, you do realize they didn’t start off with gas chambers, right? You need incremental steps, making it worse little by little, because otherwise people won’t accept it. First it was the rhetoric, and the rhetoric got worse and worse. Taking away people’s rights. Taking over the newspapers to print whatever you want them to. Changing laws, removing laws, writing new laws. Violence in the streets to intimidate and persecute people, using his brownshirts. Imprisoning political opponents (socialists and communists were first, of course, because they resisted the hardest). Imprisoning anyone who went against the propaganda; journalists, scientists, artists, teachers, any and all intellectuals basically. Banning political parties except your own. Executing religious leaders that refused to kiss the ring. Anything and anyone that could possibly ever turn into a weapon against him, even his own people weren’t safe. But each step came after the previous, a 100 little steps that resulted in industrialized genocide. You can’t start at 100.

        The extermination camps weren’t built until '41/'42 and mostly they did that because executing shitloads of people was very traumatizing for his own murder squads (Einsatzgruppen) and very time-consuming. It wasn’t efficient, it was bad for their mental health. They had already gassed people in smaller settings like hospitals, mentally and physically disabled people. They industrialized it, but it wasn’t what they advertised in the 30’ies. If Hitler had stood up during elections and said “hey guys, you know what would be cool? Let’s gas millions of people!” he never would have gotten to power. But once he had power… well, he could do whatever the fuck he wanted. His rabid supporters loved it, any and all actual resistance was already squashed, and anyone who didn’t love it had to pretend they did, because otherwise they’d be dragged off.

        Even then, remember that the most votes the Nazis ever got was 39%. 39% too many, obviously, but they never had a majority. The only reason Hitler got absolute power in the first place is because the conservatives worked with him, thought they could control the Nazis, use them against the socialists and communists. They made him chancellor, and then Hindenburg died and Hitler made himself president as well. Of course by then there was nothing or nobody who could even try to stop him anymore. But yeah, the conservatives handed him power on a silver platter. Underestimated him. Sounds familiar, no?

        Remember: Nazis in the 30’ies hadn’t done yet what Nazis in the 40’ies ended up doing. They were still fucking Nazis.

        Hitler wasn’t Hitler, until he was.

        Edit: Also remember that extermination wasn’t even the goal at first. What they wanted was to get rid of the Jewish people, not necessarily kill them all. Jewish people could voluntarily leave, some were being deported to Poland and other places. Entire ships filled with Jewish people were sent to Cuba (where they were denied entry) and the US (where they were denied entry) and other places (often being denied entry and being forced to go back where they came from, only to still end up in concentration camps). They even had an ultimate deportation plan (the first Final Solution, I guess): The Madagascar Plan. They were going to deport all Jewish people to Madagascar. But when they couldn’t defeat the British and any invasion of GB was deemed impossible, they gave up on the plan.

        We have already seen that camps with immigrants are apparently perfectly acceptable in the U.S. and now with the new shit being built in Texas… do you really think all these people are actually going to be deported? Or are they going to rot in camps while being used as slave labor? How many are going to die from horrific conditions? Americans actually voted for all this, Trump has never been shy about his intentions. And they still refuse to accept any Nazi-parallels. Just because people aren’t being gassed, doesn’t mean any comparison is false.

        Edit 2: correction: I don’t actually know if any building has already started. But Texas has offered land to Trump for his Mass Deportation Facilities. Sources: here and here

        Friendly reminder the SS didn’t start with gas chambers and didn’t openly advertise gas chambers.

        Saying “you can’t compare a person to a Nazi until they’ve murdered their six millionth jew” is just defending Nazis.

            Sure, but what do you do when they’re actual Nazis? No one should have tried to stop the Nazis before they knew about the gas chambers I guess, right?

            I don’t have to, there are Nazis already in the white house. If you don’t want to open your eyes for once, see musk doing a Hitler salute and read some of the stuff he’s been saying about the great replacement conspiracy theory, jews, trans people etc. and not have the guts to call a duck a duck and admit you can finally see what we all saw coming like ~2015 that’s on you.

        No ordinary citizens knew the truth about the gasschambers, least of all the Frank family.

        The propaganda named them “work-camps” which also sounds better then “prison”

        Edit: cruelty is gradual, after they hid they heard “rumors” on the radio.

        The actual thing they feared was deportation, which could be assumed to mean death but no one knew for sure.

          That is not correct and borders on historical denialism.
          The german people was at least implicitly, if not acutely aware of the cruelties and ethnic, political and ableistic “cleansings” perpetrated by the Nazi government. Just a quick glance at wikipedia gives you this information.

            Thats an exaggeration of what i said but i guess in context of historical denialism it is a fair nuance to also mention. In a way your own versions of events denies the gradual escalation of evil. They did not Start with gas chambers.

            This is my point more nuanced.

            The Anne Frank family had lived to trough systemic suppression.

            They witnessed and experienced the racism and hatred.

            Deportations happend out in the open

            But that is pretty close to where we are today!

            Jews did not hide out of fear of gas chambers but out of fear of deportation or arrest. Just like today.

            Overtime it became an open secret that deportation was very likely death. But you are still surrounded by propaganda. The exact details and extend of the real cruelty where hidden.

            Looking it up: the Frank family went into hiding in July 1942. In Oktober that year Anne describes in her diary a rumor on the radio about jews being gassed. They did not wait for that escalation to hide, they started before.

              I appreciate you coming back and giving nuance to your comment, thank you for that.
              If you describe facts, would you kindly provide sources of where you encountered them? That makes it a lot easier to have a facts-based discussion :)

                My source is actually slightly complex and non English but the actual source my source has it from is the actually diary.

                The full extract can be found here:

                https://alphahistory.com/holocaust/anne-frank-diary-1942-44/

                October 9th 1942: “Today I have nothing but dismal and depressing news to report. Our many Jewish friends and acquaintances are being taken away in droves. The Gestapo is treating them very roughly and transporting them in cattle cars to Westerbork, the big camp in Drenthe to which they’re sending all the Jews. Miep told us about someone who’d managed to escape from there. It must be terrible in Westerbork. The people get almost nothing to eat, much less to drink, as water is available only one hour a day, and there’s only one toilet and sink for several thousand people. Men and women sleep in the same room, and women and children often have their heads shaved. Escape is almost impossible; many people look Jewish, and they’re branded by their shorn heads. If it’s that bad in Holland, what must it be like in those faraway and uncivilised places where the Germans are sending them? We assume that most of them are being murdered. The English radio says they’re being gassed. Perhaps that’s the quickest way to die. I feel terrible. Miep’s accounts of these horrors are so heartrending… Fine specimens of humanity, those Germans, and to think I’m actually one of them! No, that’s not true, Hitler took away our nationality long ago. And besides, there are no greater enemies on earth than the Germans and Jews.”

        …yet.

        And I don’t think this time it will be gas chambers. More like drone warfare a la Ukraine.
