Fannie Mae scoops Best Place to Work for LGBTQ+ Equality
"Our diverse workforce and inclusive practices are foundational to who we are"
Fannie Mae has been recognized as one of the best places to work for LGBTQ+ equality by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation for the eighth year in a row.
According to its release, it received a perfect score of 100 on its 2022 Corporate Equality Index (CEI) – a survey and report that measures corporate policies, practices, and benefits related to LGBTQ+ workplace equality.
Fannie Mae CEO Hugh Frater said the award was a testament to the company’s focus on diversity and inclusion.
“Our diverse workforce and inclusive practices are foundational to who we are,” Frater said. “They are a fundamental source of our corporate strength and our business competitiveness.”

Incompetent management in larger organizations, in fact even medium size and not too small, thrive on diversity. For the higher level managers it is a way to disrupt collusion in lower levels that might attempt overthrow them. They learn to play off one person against the next, one group against the next - as a way to keep themselves in power. If there is someone working beneath you who is highly intelligent, aggressive and smart, throw in a manager between you and him/her who is the complete opposite. Or ensure the hire of such directly below said individual to work as a trusted informant.
Diversity in this sense means any kind of diversity. It could be race, sex, political, religious, etc... Whatever works.
It is the oldest game in the books.
But this game overlooks issues of productivity. If you want to judge an organization by how productive it is, diversity means nothing.
1. An organization can support any kind of diversity with the underlying motto: "As long as it doesn't counter productivity!!!"
2. Or an organization can support diversity with the underlying motto: "At all costs!!"
Your #2 organizations will be the least productive and the most corrupt in existence.
Your most productive organizations most likely will be highly unified in their hierarchical management. Diversity can still exist - but most likely will be vertical [ ** And someone experienced in this gambit will likely say: "That doesn't work either. You have too many fish who want to jump out one pond into the next. The pasture always appears greener on the other side of the fence!! " OK. That is true I guess. "Can still exist" is just theoretical. Blah, blah, blah. ]. You group like with like, as long of course, as all of the individuals in the organization are unified in one underlying concept: "Productivity at all costs."
This is telling for not just the Japanese, but probably any country:

Few Japanese Companies Addressing LGBT Needs
While many Japanese companies state that it is necessary to implement policies that consider sexual minorities, a recent survey found that just 11% are actually doing so.

Any organization can break down of course - if motivation to be productive becomes stale. And, that can happen anywhere due to various reasons.
Running a large company successfully is difficult.
-- And to put a damper on things, don't forget the lesson of the Japanese. They forgot the family. Without good families to generate children to eventually become thoughtful, educated individuals to ensure the success for the future, a highly productive society will simply burnout its good citizens - who cannot help but become old and unproductive, with nothing to replace them with except a few thumbsucking grown up children who know nothing but staying at home and living off their parents while they are still alive.

Aging hikikomori children's lifelong dependency on parents
In June, a 53-year-old Saitama man was arrested for allegedly dumping his mother’s corpse in a mountain ditch. The point, police say, was to conceal her death from the authorities in order to continue receiving her pension. Apparently it was a matter of survival. The man had no other source…


It felt safe here

Imagine living in a concrete jungle with Hikikomori running around. YUUK! No wonder foreigners who have lived and worked in Japan for a while hate the place.
Caveat: This is just a short post and I leave out a lot of "if, ands and buts" E.g. for managers to use diversity as a management tool, it has to really exist in any given society. Race is not very effective in the US in this day and age. In fact, it gets harder and harder to find anything that works as well as it use to. Poor managers. They get desperate and now they have to create it somehow. That's what the Dems are doing.
