AMD Named a Best Place to Work for LGBT Equality

[Beastie]

Great, AMD are an equal opportunities company. Hope that helps them take on Nvidia by employing the most talented staff regardless of who they like to xxx xxx with.

At least that's how I interpret the word equality.

You think it is scary over what? The actual racists celebrating trump's victory and the likely ensuing degradation of rights?

I believe the fact that a man was fired for making a joke that someone else happened to overhear, and how PC/SJW types make a huge thing about rights and confusing them with feelings is the scary part, people who take offense at anything you say can gather together more crazies and lean enough pressure on companies (who have a HR/PR knee jerk reactions) to fire someone for one part of a comment. Lets not forget the man who landed the probe, who was pushed to tears as a bunch of asshole feminazis didn't like his shirt. I hate PC/SJW culture, its a regression and will be the eventual cause of an orwellian state if not kept in check.

Wow. Just wow.

This thread needs to be closed.

I don't even know what I am reading, but it's horrible.

TPU, I expected better.

For what little it's apparently worth, I am a straight white guy and find this OP post in a no way offensive, and neither should you if your head is on straight. WTF people.

Nobody cares about LGBT Narcissists.

I do.

Deal with it.

 

[MrAMD]

I do.

Deal with it.

I mean... I see you're trying to make a point, but the narcissist part? C'mon.

 

[ZoneDymo]

You're the one who hates, your speech is filled with contempt and intolerance; and, as usual, you don't see the contradiction, those who stand from high morals never do.

Call others out on their hate does not make one filled with hate Im afraid.
But yeah I do not tolerate the intolerant Im afraid, unless they keep it to themselves because then obviously I would not know about it.
Stop spreading hate.

Half of the employed comes from asia and is either asians or from india.

I thought India is part of Asia too...

Anyways, I am curious on how did they investigate this? As far as I am aware approaching corporate users with unofficial non-company questionnaires is not very legal to say the least.
I am just curious on how they made those surveys.

Good on you AMD!

For those who are saying horrible things, lets see what happens when we put it this way. How would you feel if a company didnt except White, Straight, Christian Men/Woman? hmmmm?

Any company within a state with retarded islam sharia law....

Let me put it this way, why are AMD getting a pat on the back for hiring sexually diverse peoples, gender and sexuality has nothing to do with the quality of work they do, it shouldn't even enter the picture. Somewhere along the line, a survey must have been carried out to determine a persons sexuality, god knows why.

Exactly! I think you answered your own question here lol

There not saying anything about there product from the get go, just that they support LGBT, nothing more!

That was rhetorical.

The actual racists celebrating trump's victory

Which racists are those? And why are you bringing even more politics into this thread?

For the record, since you want to mention racists, look up who founded the KKK....it weren't Republicans (need a bigger hint? Southern Democrats), and Trump is not Republican either. He managed to pull off an Independent victory in a two-party system by co-opting the Republican nomination.

Next? Ok back on to the politically-charged topic that this thread already became.

 

[GuavaSauce]

almost gave a shit. but then remembered that i dont.

 

[dalekdukesboy]

yet still can't compete with intel...

Who cares as long as your products are good

Without even addressing the specific "content" of this article this really says it all. When they can compete with Intel they won't need a puff piece like this patting themselves on the back about equality because non-descrimination laws for the workplace exist and simply need to be followed. Everything AMD says should be a given and is with the laws already in place.

I knew I liked you in last thread when you commended what I had said. Seriously though flattery aside from that instance, once again you are absolutely right and you know your history...unlike the uneducated young snowflakes who are seeking safe spaces, hot cocoa from teachers, play-doh and refusing to accept a landslide loss when ironically they themselves accused Trump for not accepting a theoretical loss....long before election day even happened. The irony here in all this...is so thick you need not a knife but a fucking chainsaw to cut through it.

 

[R-T-B]

I mean... I see you're trying to make a point, but the narcissist part? C'mon.

You aimed it directly at this, which direcltly implies that all LGBT must be narcissist simply for wanting a fair workplace.

Any company within a state with retarded islam sharia law....

Which would be every bit as bad. Your point?

Because maybe people wanting to work there might appreciate this? We aren't all consumers, you know, and aquiring more workforce from previously untapped segments has been a hot subject amongst all corporations as of late. Microsoft for example, has been particularly involved with the autistic community (different coin, same problem).

No I didn't. cryohellinc did.

 

[R-T-B]

No I didn't. cryohellinc did.

My bad.

Same point though. I just shouldn't be here... it makes me very disappointed in my fellow man.

The bottom line is this isn't an article aimed at consumers, at all.

 

[hat]

Man, what a crapshoot. I don't even know what to say without feeling like I'm gonna be judged in some way.

Everybody should just be who they are without worrying who everybody else is.

You do realize he lost by 2 million plus in the "landslide" popular vote, right?

Either way, Trump belongs here about as much as any of this BS, so I guess have at. Absolutely none of this is on topic.

Please look up what the Southern Strategy is before you continue to spout off such ignorance. While you are technically correct about Southern Democrats, the belief that the parties are ideologically still the same today as they were a hundred years ago is just literal stupidity. There's no other definition of it.

There are in fact no federal level laws that state it's illegal for you to be fired just because you're gay. Which is one of the reasons for recognition such as this. It's a shame you're such a sorry individual that you don't care about workplace discrimination.

No need to be hostile. I'm aware the parties aren't the same, heck, the democrats aren't even the same party JFK was in.

But ignorant I am not. Unlike most people in this forum, my background, education and experience are decidedly untechnical...it is an International Studies degree, a Poli Sci degree, minors in history and English, half a military career, and a career in government service.

The point of my post was to cap off his ignorant comment that implied Trump supporters are racist, which didn't even belong here in the first place. Okay?

Reverse homophobia is the same, if not worse than homophobia. Same with the Racism.

That been said, a lot of those posts are entertaining to say the least. And most of them are from people who never worked with a HS person in their entire life, or I bet they were never aware of that anyways.
Still, the general idea of HS persons of 95% of the ignorant population, is based on those idiotic Gay Parades, which on my opinion only worsen the HS people situation and they view in society.

Not sure what you mean by "HS" there... but I understand the gay pride parades. LBGT has been demonized for so long, it's like they're rallying up and saying "we're not taking your shit". However... there is a line it crosses. Most non-LBGT people, even if they take no issue with LBGT people, don't want to see a bunch of almost naked gay dudes parading around town shoving it in everybody's face... same reason a lot of people hate feminists. Not all feminists (just like most LBGT people aren't running around screwing eachother in public), but some of them run around and shove the shit in everybody's face.

There's a difference between wanting equality (which is the way it should be) and going around shoving shit in everybody's face and calling them a hater if they don't like your individual actions.
