Message: <blockquote data-quote="Enevhar Aldarion" data-source="post: 8035114" data-attributes="member: 6818233">They have several women working there. They have Jeremy Crawford, who is gay. There are probably other LBGT+ staff, who we just do not know are. So male and not straight is not the issue. I have no clue who on staff may be non-white, though. And Orion was not full staff, but rather on a contract for either a specific amount of time or for a specific number of products. One or the other requirement was probably fulfilled and the contract was not renewed and thus the toxic rantings on toxic Twitter. The accusation of not getting proper credit for work done is the one thing I am waiting to hear more about before deciding if any of this was valid or just a big temper tantrum.But aside from all that, WotC has had hiring announcements where they were specifically looking for all types of applicants, so that they can be inclusive in their hiring. The problem is that almost no one knows who many non-white, non-male, non-straight people even applied. Or how many of them were even qualified for the jobs that were open. Quota hiring is bad. Token hiring is bad. Hiring the most qualified person for the job is generally what is required of US law. If two people apply and are close enough in qualifications that it is basically a tie between them, then going with the person who seems a better fit personality-wise is the next qualifier. Having two people who are equally good in all ways for a job opening, but where one is white and one is black, or one is male and one female, or one is straight and the other LGBT, that is the modern minefield of hiring.</blockquote>
