Many don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s a lever for their advancement. Worse, quotas could make the situation even more difficult. After looking at the arguments <a href=\"https:\/\/urelles.com\/en\/for-affirmative-action-in-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in favor of affirmative action<\/a>, I&#8217;ll now turn to the arguments against it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why should people be privileged just because they&#8217;re a \u201cperson of diversity\u201d? Why should we hire someone less qualified just because she&#8217;s a woman, for example? How can someone continue to work if they know they&#8217;ve found a job because of their gender? Here are just a few examples of the phrases I hear when discussing positive discrimination. On the one hand, we think it&#8217;s profoundly unfair, and on the other, we think that people aren&#8217;t being employed for their real abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, the information technology (IT) market is far too competitive for a company to afford to hire an incompetent employee. If you&#8217;ve been chosen for a job, it&#8217;s because you&#8217;re good at it. Don&#8217;t think that it&#8217;s JUST to fill a quota, but rather that it would be to fill a quota AND have a good employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Melissa Guzy is the founder of Arbor Ventures, one of Asia&#8217;s largest financial technology venture capital funds. She doesn&#8217;t like quotas, even though she believes in gender equality and diversity. \u201cIf you&#8217;re derailed by a guy who acts like he&#8217;s in high school for three minutes, you&#8217;ll never survive in a startup. You&#8217;re going to face sexism in this industry!\u201d she says. Instead, Guzy believes the solution lies in encouraging young girls to pursue careers in science, technology, computing and math, as a natural balance will then fall into place and women will get jobs in tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my previous post, I mentioned the introduction of quotas in France. Another country that has put a lot of faith in this lever is Norway, but it hasn&#8217;t yielded the expected results. In 2003, Norway introduced quotas requiring 40% of board members to be women. This became mandatory for all companies in 2006. The share prices of the 500 companies targeted fell by 3.5%. Andrea Mrozek, Director of Programs at the ardus think-tank Family Cardus, explains that this is not because women don&#8217;t know how to run a business well, but because, due to the pressure of quotas, young, and therefore less experienced, women have been promoted too quickly and without guidance. Conclusion: you can&#8217;t push someone into a void and expect them to hang on to the branches by themselves!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As several technology experts have pointed out, quotas could lead to long-term resentment and cause minorities to put themselves in a situation for which they are not ready, thus setting them up for failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vidya Narayanan, founder of her own startup, believes that some people&#8217;s obsession with diversity will lead to women&#8217;s downfall, and that we need to stop. She calls it a vicious circle. \u201cWe&#8217;re upset about the state of diversity in tech,\u201d she writes. We decide to hire more women. After a few unsuccessful attempts, we begin to compromise and hire women simply because we have to. These women don&#8217;t work as well as we want them to. This reinforces the idea that women aren&#8217;t good at technology. Feminists are shocked. Diversity advocates make a pact to hire more women. The circle begins again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these kinds of arguments may sound anti-feminist, Jacqui Ferguson, HPE&#8217;s CEO, explains that \u201cthe worst thing you can do is put a woman in a position where she fails, where she doesn&#8217;t have that support around her and and where she lacks confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On <a href=\"https:\/\/thenextwomen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Next Women<\/a> blog, Eventbrite&#8217;s Director of Expansion Strategy, Elsita Sanya mentions that when you&#8217;re an employee at a company that uses quotas, the real reason you were hired is always in the back of your head. \u201cTo be honest, I&#8217;m not comfortable with having quotas,\u201d she says. It would raise the question of whether I&#8217;ve been promoted because I&#8217;m capable or whether the real reason is that I&#8217;m a woman. In such a scenario, I&#8217;d have to prove my skills twice: first, to get the promotion, and then a second time to show that I deserved the promotion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I strongly believe in the need for quotas to reverse the current trend. The above examples prove that when they are introduced in a hurry and without a deep-seated desire to change the dynamics within the company, then they are doomed to failure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article originally published in March 2018 The implementation of quotas to counter the under-representation of minorities in the tech industry is far from unanimous.
