Cigna Responds to Claims That It Excludes White Men in the Hiring Process
2021-03-24
[PJMEDIA] According to an explosive report from The Washington Examiner, one of the nation’s largest health insurance providers actively discriminates against white males in hiring and pushes Marxist critical race theory on its staff. Cigna reportedly urges staff to check various kinds of "privilege," to avoid using terms like "Wives/husband," and to read books that claim America is systemically racist. In a statement to PJ Media, Cigna condemned racism and discrimination and insisted its positions were open to qualified applicants, regardless of race. The company did explicitly deny using racial quotas or address claims about its training materials.

"Given the hiring practices they have in place where white, male candidates are blocked, regardless of qualifications, I have to say, ’Yes, there’s obvious discrimination at this company,'" an anonymous employee told the Washington Examiner.

In chat logs reviewed by the Examiner, a hiring manager rejected a candidate with strong credentials who had performed well in an interview — because the hiring manager mistakenly thought the candidate was white. An employee corrected the manager, noting that the candidate was indeed a minority, and then the manager said she was excited to hire him, despite learning almost nothing else about his background.

An employee also suggested a candidate with years of industry experience, but the hiring manager said the candidate, a white man, could not be interviewed because he did not meet the diversity criteria.

Some employees told the Examiner that these racial quotas often translate to an inability to fill jobs in departments focused on tech or data. "I can’t fill these jobs," an employee said.

#6  I would guess that most folks that have Cigna do so because of their employer so they are somewhat immune to protests.

#5  #2, good information Hup. Looks like all of our major corporations are trying to turn America into a socialist police state. Looks like, basically, you have to go completely off the grid and become a hermit to avoid doing business with them.

Mont Zermatt is a SZ made watch. Grits are made from corn. The Izu-Ogasawara Trench contains a significant amount of water. Who knew these things ?

#3  About that list: The Spice House belongs to Bill Penzey’s family — founded by his parents, now run by his sister and her husband. They are the original of which Penzey’s is a pale, horribly politicized imitation. When I got tired of young Mr. Penzey repeatedly forcing his politics into my email In box, I found The Spice House, whose very nice phone clerk promised me solemnly that as a matter of company policy they would never be in any way political, and mentioned in passing that I was their nth refugee from Bill P’s politics that week. Highly recommended.
