Microsoft and IBM Are Fighting Over a Chief Diversity Officer
13th February 2018
Political Correctness these days is worth serious money.
IBM is suing the latest big name hire for Microsoft, one of its top competitors, for allegedly leaving the company with proprietary department secrets — potentially showing how serious some tech companies are in addressing complaints over a lack of workplace heterogeneity.
Filed Monday, the lawsuit claims that if allowed to start too quickly, Lindsay-Rae McIntyre, who joined IBM in 2006, will inherently take confidential data about diversity and certain initiatives to Microsoft, according to The Seattle Times.
Perphaps IBM has a secret cache of transgendered black Latino Ivy League graduates somewhere that they don’t want Microsoft to poach.
