AFFIRMATIVE ACTION

✊ Affirmative action in employment refers to policies and practices aimed at increasing the representation of historically marginalized groups in the workplace. This can include women, racial and sexual minorities, individuals with disabilities and veterans.

Key aspects of affirmative action in employment include:

1. Actively seeking candidates from underrepresented groups to ensure a diverse applicant pool.

2. Equal Opportunity Policies: Implementing policies that prohibit discrimination based on race, gender, age, or other protected characteristics.

3. Quotas or Goals: In some cases, organizations may set specific targets for hiring or promoting individuals from underrepresented groups, though this practice can be controversial and is subject to legal scrutiny.

📉 However, affirmative action policies can lead to discrimination of candidates from the majority groups. Moreover, such hiring practices can negatively influence company's performance.

🎮 For example, Ubisoft, a major videogame developer, lost 83% of its market value because of putting too much emphasis on diversity. The company hired women and members of sexual and racial minorities, discriminating against more qualified male candidates, which led to poor productivity and financial loss.

🌟 Too many cooks spoil the broth - when too many people are involved in managing or doing the same task, it can lead to chaos or a bad result.
🌟 If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen - if you can't handle the pressure or stress of a situation, you should remove yourself from it.
🌟 A watched pot never boils - time seems to move more slowly when you're waiting for something to happen, especially when you're watching it closely.
🌟 That’s the way the cookie crumbles - that’s just how things turn out, often used to express acceptance of a bad or unlucky situation.
🌟 Have a finger in every pie - be involved in many different activities or have influence in various areas.

🥧To eat humble pie

🔺Back in the 14th century, after hunting parties returned home, the lords and other important men were offered the finest cuts of meat, while men of lower social stature were offered the entrails of the animals.

🔺These entrails were known as “numbles,” a term that was shortened to “umbles” by the 15th century. Often, the “umbles” (pronounced as “humble”) were baked into pies and served to the low-class men who considered it a humiliation. That’s how the idiom “to eat humble pie” came about.

🔺Today, it means to accept that you are wrong and to apologize.
