You all probably know what happened (or is currently happening) behind this picture of a submarine. [ Update: They’re confirmed to be dead. Debris from the wreckage has been found. ]

It dived to depths of more than 12,500 feet under the sea with several wealthy businessmen inside. It's now lost in the vast expanse of the ocean and presumed to have also lost any oxygen for the passengers to use.

What makes this even more unfortunate is that the CEO, Stockton Rush (who is also the pilot of the submarine) was already warned, advised, and criticized, about his decision to not have subject-matter experts on board and has subsequently failed to listen to their warnings.

When he was building the company, he wanted so bad to hire young people all because he didn't want his company to be filled by 50-year-old white guys with naval/military backgrounds - he wanted his company to be young and "inspirational".

Rush even fired his Director for Marine Operations (David Lochridge - apparently another 50yr old white guy), after raising up several safety and quality concerns of the vessel - reporting it to be unfit to reach extreme depths after a quality inspection.


TRUE ENOUGH, this event has inspired us even more to trust 50-year-old white guys (point: men who are experts in their field with years of experience) instead of trusting young noobs and building a business to "inspire" instead of productivity and profit.

Diversity Hires and Gender Quota hires are stupid and don't work anywhere. They are terrible at any given field or industry. (except for Netflix)

When you compromise on skill and experience because you don't like

a. people who have more experience than the rest
b. white people
c. men
d. (all of the above, aka the western image of "Patriarchy")

you are going to lose all the time - in this case, lose your lives.

If your industry is filled with 50-year-old-white guys, it doesn't matter if that they're 50, white, or males, what matters is that these people are more suitable to work within your kind of business because they're actually good at it. In the same way, if you have experts in your industry who are Indian, a woman, young, or has a disability, AS LONG as they're a proven expert in your field - it's the only thing that matters. Choose them.

Young people do have a place in a company - if you so badly want a "fresh" image, put them in Tech, Marketing, and PR. But for technical operations, put them side-by-side as apprentices to your subject matter experts until their time comes (maybe years from now).

With no oxygen left, they have all probably died, drifting into an abyss of darkness, confused, scared, and doomed in their last moments. With no assurance that the vessel could ever be found.

(UPDATE: Since the debris of the wreckage has been found, it is assumed that the submarine imploded (not exploded) which means they were crushed outside in so fast, faster than their nerve impulse, even before they could know what happened to them.
(Nerve impulse or information travelling to the brain maximum speed: 432 km/h - while the pressure of a hull breach at that depth would be 3,702 km/h)

The pressure at the levels of the sunk Titanic ship is around 6,000 psi. To compare, sea level pressure is at 14 psi. Their bodies reduced to pulp, would be unrecognizable, a very instant, but brutal death.)

This is just an unfortunate event that could have been avoided if instead of the idea of a "young, inspiring, and diverse" company, they just used common sense.

Nothing wrong if you're a dreamer
Nothing wrong if you're a visionary
Nothing wrong with wanting a fresh and inclusive image for your company

But if you prioritize D.I.E. - or Diversity, Inclusivity, and Equality over actual skills and experiences (that come with age), you're gonna get just that.

The skills section of your CV shows employers you have the abilities required to succeed in the role. Often, employers pay special attention to the skills section to determine who should move on to the next step of the hiring process.
Skill types can be broken down into two categories: soft skills and hard skills.

Soft skills are personal attributes and qualities that affect how you do the job. They are the people skills that help us read our colleagues, manage situations and perform well in a workplace environment. Soft skills are obviously important, and in some industries, such as sales, they are essential to success. These types of proficiencies are hard to teach, but the good news is that we develop the skills every day in both domestic and professional settings.
