> Hiring women because "we need at least one woman on the team because of the quota". Would you like to know you have been hired because the team is forced to have a women and everybody knows it?
Interestingly this. We are in the process of hiring a woman because of the quota. Well, we are trying because for every 20 male applicants we probably don't even get 1 female. And we are a team of 7 males. Odds are we have a female employee in a team of 8 are less likely than norm considering the applicants. But here we are.
Like it is insane, we had a female applicant which was rejected in the home assignment process. My manager told me that he felt that he needed to ask the reviewer a second time that if he is sure. Because we desperately need a token female.
And there are times that I wonder if I am part of the quota because I am an expat in this country and I come from a less developed country. I am confident in my skills that I am a good fit even if my nationality helped me at the beginning even if I got here because I am a token but I can see that it would be demotivating if I was unsure
