Title: Diversity and Inclusion Training
Post by: taliahad on 14-10-20, 03:27PM
Some of us have just had our "Diversity and Inclusion Training." Has anyone else had this?  If so I'd be interested to know your thoughts on it.  My thoughts are not entirely complementary.  I don't see what business it is of theirs if I refer to a waitress as a waitress.

I'm sure it ticks some boxes somewhere but it in no way enhanced my understanding of how diversity can be better handled within Tesco or what the company are actually doing about it.

It just seemed to be a 20 minute exercise in "People are different"

I did this training and was going to post about this a few weeks ago. This training comes of incredible poor. Basically what Tesco are saying if your a straight white male. Your not what we really looking for at the min. One of the messages in the video is. It’s not what you are, but who you are. So to me that’s Tesco saying that they picking people on race and sexuality over Who can actually do the job. Then go on to tell us the meaning of Homogeny. In Tesco speak which they can’t say Is we got to many white people working in ours store. They really need to go back to the drawing board with this one.

Did anyone get the question asking whether people at the top were as important as people at the bottom?  I can't recall it exactly but everyone in our department answered that the two were equal, Tesco marked us as incorrect and went on to say that the people at the top were more important.  Well, let's see what happens when all the shop floor staff don't turn up for work, let's see how important the CEO is then.  Dreadful move on Tesco's part,  I get the point about white males, they are the most discriminated people in the country, as a mother of two sons and a grandmother of a newborn baby boy, I rage against all this.

This has been in place in convenience for a while, we've had a female AM and PM and in the space of 3 years into their tenure SMs in express stores in group 810  are about 70% female 30% male, and my god is it a shitshow. Not saying all the female SMs are bad, but if your sole purpose for promoting someone is based off protected characteristics and the need to check a diversity checkbox, then all too often you'll erase the already checked competency box in the process. I've seen a few male shift leads who were ready for the SM role and a deputy from a 500k a week express fuelsite (half the takings of a superstore with 8% of the hours and 10% of the staff) get turned down before their JDI interview (Judgement, Drive, Influence) the DM said that before the JDI the AM already told him he's not going to become SM, he resigned there and then and is now a highly paid SM at Sainsburys local. At least the competition haven't lost the plot.

The training came across as rather patronising to me and I know a few others who said the same, almost as if it was telling us using a term like waitress makes us guilty of some evil act of discrimination and should be ashamed for evermore. Strange thing is I had to do mine while I was working my notice, reason was and I quote "The more that I get signed off on this the better it makes me look in the store managers eyes"

These worker drones will perpetually go for that promotion not realising it's not about how hard you work or what results you get but how much your face fits and how sycophantic you are. Pathetic really, these Team managers will forever be chasing that carrot on a stick not realising it's all pre-decided.

It's a classic example of society wanting to be seen to be tackling an issue, that is only an issue because they have made it so, by their own ignorant interpretation.

Yes there are discriminations in every walk of life, be that race, age, gender etc...but the people affected by it, are the ones who should be explaining how it is for them...not some spin doctor declaring how they are affected...a lot of the time, the issue is one of ignorance, but the last thing people want is for it to be blown out of the water, drawing them into the spotlight, as if they are somehow to be treated differently,  knowing colleagues are treating them differently, because of a "protected characteristic"

It breeds intolerance...people feel they can't say that, or worse say something without thinking, ( because they don't think of that person as " different" ) but then realise and promptly apologise to that person, highlighting them as 'somehow different' when there has been no offence taken, but are now embarrassed to be singled out in the group.

This happens a lot in Wales, when the ability of an applicant to speak Welsh, overrides the ability of that person to do the job...jobs for the boyos!!

This recent drivel in one of their e-mails cracked me up.

QuoteHelen is an Assistant Buyer, and is passionate about educating others on inclusive language and anti-racism.

“Social justice issues have always been a passion of mine, and I try to put myself in other people’s situations at all times. My personal value is, where I can, to leave the world in a better place for everyone. I live this value in my personal and professional life. I believe it’s important to question the status quo, challenge people to think outside their world view, and use my privilege to speak up for marginalised people.”


It's like a parody of a ****** white middle class person appointing themselves the saviour of anyone they deem oppressed or discriminated against. She is privileged and righteous  :D

The total lack of self awareness about their own narcissism is as hilarious as it is astounding. One of the executives also recently wrote some self-abasing nonsense in one of his e-mails.

I'd put money on the people who wrote the training being mostly middle class white people who graduated recently in subjects heavily corrupted with modern marxism.

I got asked yesterday to do my training at home when I'm on holiday next week as where short staffed this week and they can't spare the time to get everbody's training up to date. I just told my manager that it's not my problem and when I'm on holiday, I have no intention of doing anything work related and walked away.

As for this diversity BS, I treat people how I would want to be treated and I don't give a poop about skin colour, religion, sexual orientation etc, etc at the end of the day you are person and I'll treat you like one.

The point of BLM is to highlight, stand against and make accountable the authoritarian figures in Americas government for things like police brutality, unemployment percentages, disproportionate sentencing, rejecting candidates for a job, salary differentials and a myriad of other statistics that show Black and to a lesser extent AME groups to be marginalised as a result of the countries institutional racism.

Funny how the very person who sponsored the law which meant disproportionate sentencing for blacks is the very one being hailed by them as the next president! And if you want to go on about institutional racism what about the black only schools and collages which Trump has guaranteed funding for ten years? Racism was slowly but surely going away until Obama!

Did the diversity training and was disgusted at how discriminatory it was against white heterosexual people.

I was incensed by the way I was basically being told that because i'm a white heterosexual English man I was discriminatory racist etc because I wasn't in one of these groups although I was bought up in a diverse multi cultural town but at 55 I should think in a particular way.

What has now got me more incensed is the company has stuff up on the walls covering all these diverse groups and a calendar for events the one glaring omission is white English heterosexual male / Female like we don;t exist and are not important.

To add insult to injury all this s*** is being rammed down our throats.

However I was discriminated against today due to the fact that I went out without my mobile phone with the wife to the local Nando's.

After standing outside for ages I ask the girl for a table to which I was told unless I used the QR code I could not go in??

So I was refused entry because I didn't meet a certain criteria needless to say I protested at the fact that this is a disgrace to which I was told I was being aggressive for doing no more than ask questions the 4 year old manager do nothing but antagonize the situation to the point that I wanted to smack the hell out of him and they wonder why staff in shops etc are experiencing alleged aggression. you treat people with contempt or speak to people like s*** then your going to cause issues. 

So I you have no mobile phone or choose not to consent to being tracked you are now being refused access to publicly accessible places??

You can't sit there because your black
You can't live there because your a Jew
You can't adopt a child because your both men
you can't eat in here because you don't have a mobile phone
you can't have that job because your a woman
you can't shop here because your not wearing a mask
you can't enjoy this play because your disabled
You can't leave your home because you've not had this vaccination

your a second class citizen because we say you are??

diversity, inclusion, acceptance my arse. It seems like only some types of discrimination are taboo because they are the current flavor of the day where others are actively being pushed

I am fuming I have never ever felt that I was singled out but today I saw what its actually like to be discriminated against yet i'm being forced to do this diversity training.

So angry.

Tesco can slide down razor blades.

There's discrimination and then there's not following policy, the process in a lot of restaurants is if anyone (regardless of skin colour, religion or sex) wants to dine in, they have to use the venue check in on the Track and Trace app. Not being allowed in because you've not done this is not discriminatory.

And I'm entitled to call him a moron.

Actually that's untrue for both cases, it's a private forum ol' nomad can dictate whatever he wants to be posted here.

Similarly a private business can absolutely deny access to a customer, and while there are protected characteristics, the idea that a f****ng mobile phone is one of them  is beyond absurd.

Honestly take your head out your hole, the man is comparing being denied access due to not having a mobile phone to racism, sexism and the rest, it's bonkers.

But silly antagonist BS aside, the crux is...

If you think this diversity business is silly,  if you think racism (and the other isms) are inflated or exaggerated, that's one thing, and honestly to an extent I  would agree with that.

But this man has decided that being denied access to a premise as he had no phone, is comparable to someone being denied access due to their skin colour.

It is trivialising what for some people is a legitimate issue.

Yes you were refused because you did not meet a certain criteria but that is not discrimination under the law, that is Nados right to refuse you entry due to being either unable or unwilling to use track and trace, and its not a public place as such its private property that you can be asked to leave or refused entry to at any time.

The first thing about discrimination  is pointing people out, so what someone is gay black transgender who cares? They are just people , and know they are actually  being pointed out , am I supposed to think that I now have to treat xyz differently,  and make them feel different? I just treat every  one the same , and as for not saying manpower!!!! If you can do the job that is what counts , not what gender you are

I think 'positive discrimination' is the correct phrase - something no-one would ever admit to doing, but when it's obvious that a person has been selected for a role or position because they tick a particular diversity box, not solely on the basis of their ability to do the job.

If the training video promotes affirmative action/positive discrimination, the legal team could be in legally murky waters if someone gets fired for racial discrimination against a white heterosexual person as they could claim they were only following the training provided by Tesco citing the source material as evidence. Hopefully in such a case they get fined £1 trillion.
Title: Re: Diversity and Inclusion Training
Post by: taliahad on 28-10-20, 05:56PM
It was all just so utterly pointless.  My colleagues and myself were all so bemused and angered by it all.  We live in a mainly all white area but the colleagues that we have and have had from other races haven't had a problem, they're just so and so, nobody even notices skin colour.  Same goes for sexuality too .  The question that annoyed me the most though was the one where it asked us if the people at the bottom of an organisation were as important as the ones at the top and then marked us as wrong if we answered that we were.  Very inclusive that tesco, very unmotivating.  What a bunch of idiots they have in charge.  I think they would be better off making things work properly, half our pertol pumps have been out for months, the fridge doesn't work, the PDA is a nightmare and as for our deliveries, well, i won't even go there but they don't understand stock control, that's for sure.

Reverse discrimination, in my eyes, is when a person is deliberately excluded from applying for a position due to not fitting the quota of BAME/ sexual orientation, LGBT recruiting...it's about selecting someone, regardless of their ability to perform the role... the fact that a company has set targets of % minorities in the workforce...so as to meet those targets of political correctness, which it seems is what the video is promoting.

Regarding the importance of rank...I would object to this extremely verbally...and quote Tesco's own core value..."One team...the Tesco team"

You sound like a pr*t of the first order.

You were not discriminated against, You didnt have your phone to do the track and trace which is mandatory.....Did you write your name and contact details down for them or even offer to? I doubt it you just went off on a sanctimonious pompous rant about how you are right and they are wrong.

You got aggressive by your own admision and expect people to treat you with respect? Get a grip man the world does not revolve around you.

Lastly the part where you were denied access to a public place............. Wrong again Nandos is a private company not a public funded one and as such they have the power to decide who gets to use their facilitys and that day it wasnt you.

Suck it up and behave better next time then they may just allow you in.
Title: Re: Diversity and Inclusion Training

The track and trace apps do not work on my phone.  My preferred local pub has a text system alternative which is useful and I have made a note on my phone I can open to show to the doorkeeper of anywhere wanting my details so I do not have the usual problem of them mis-spelling both parts of my name (which are both variants of a commoner form).

I've lost count of the number of premises that have asked me to scan the track & trace code and I've explained it does not work on all smart phones.  Their response is nearly always "Really, I didn't know that".

But I have no objections to filling in their form.

While I know this topic is from last year I thought it apt to make a comment today as I left Tesco last Autumn but did complete this training prior to leaving, anyway the company I now work for sent us all a link to complete diversity training the other day, basically it was very similar to the Tesco version, the only big change was it said that however one identifies in times of sexuality and gender, we should keep in mind people change over time and should consider ourselves to be "fluid". It then rounded things off by saying anyone who struggled with the idea could be retrained if they so wish.
Title: Re: Diversity and Inclusion Training
Post by: gomezz on 24-05-21, 12:27AM
Well that is simply not true.  Many (most?) people are very certain of what they are and do not change so are definitely not "fluid".  Not that it should matter as long as everyone including those who are "fluid" are not treated any differently in the workplace or indeed anywhere other than in close personal relationships.

I found this to be an interesting article.  Tesco apparently liked a tweet that said "I do not understand how people can actually claim to be 'proud' to be from Britain. What is their to be proud of?"


I would be wary of accepting on face value what Tesco 'Apparently' did or did not do. Its very easy to misrepresent people on the internet.

Well that is simply not true.  Many (most?) people are very certain of what they are and do not change so are definitely not "fluid".  Not that it should matter as long as everyone including those who are "fluid" are not treated any differently in the workplace or indeed anywhere other than in close personal relationships.



Completly agree, I just found it very strange that it popped up at the end of the training, cant help but wonder if it was some badly worded attempt to say to people who feel unable to come out right now, or maybe have not come out in the workplace yet that there is nothing stopping you doing so in the future.

I would like to know when are people going to put their training in place as it's not practised in the store I resigned from.  I've resigned because of victimisation.

Getting the training, and having it implemented in-store are two completely unassociated things.
The training is done so as to protect the company, not to help the aggrieved. It is done, and said to have been done, end of.
The implementation actually needs some thought, empathy and intelligence, so breaths must not be held.
Sorry for your troubles miriam, hope you have gone on to bigger and better things.

Lackofinterest, I will never give Tesco any of my hard earned money again, other companies will be getting my hard earned money.  I've been badly effected I can't face going in.
