Diversity and inclusion
4 interns in my team, 1 male and 3 are female. Only 1(Male) is from core CS Branch and rest are all from non CS branches.
The 3 are learning how to code in python and this 1 intern is blowing all the tasks that we are giving.
I can see the fear of HR on my manager’s face at each standup. For if he fails the 3 non performing interns and gives only 1 PPO.

Diversity and inclusion is corrupting all orgs now a days. Just to meet diversity criteria less skilful people are hired. In our company just to achieve goal of 50-50 we are hiring (also interviewing) people for SDE-2 role who should not be working as an intern as well. But company is still pushing for diversity hiring
Its like boys will become general category students in long term
I would like to believe that you are not biased and genuinely concerned about the situation. Here’s what I would have done (I am a gender minority and have men and women reporting to me).
- Provide honest, constructive feedback and help the individuals to do their job.
- Understand if something is preventing them to do their job properly. Sometimes stress, workplace anxiety and even an unavailable mentor/senior can cause a lot of issues.
- Set goals and achievable outcomes that they need to chase.
- Have weekly F2F meetings to discuss the weekly tasks and past week’s hits and lows.
The last thing I would want for someone who hasn’t been performing well, to feel that there’s some hostility towards them, and either favourism or discrimination owing to their gender/age.
The manager is more experienced to figure things out (ideally) and not the intern.
Diversity and inclusion can be quite impactful if things are done correctly and not just for HRs to flaunt on LinkedIn.
But, again do analyse if there’s any kind of sexism or bias at play. That ofcourse cannot really be helped.
Empathy > Corporate Nonsense
This might work if both you (mentor) and the mentee (intern) speak the same language. I see my senior struggling to explain how to Google or run an ide or what is a for loop in python to someone. Nobody wants the intern to fail however nobody has time for hand holding too.
If Indian men want to be sissies who can't speak out and blindly embrace deranged ideologies dumped on them from the West, they deserve it. You sowed it, you reap it now. Hail liberalism.
Maybe he could've hired by skills and not gender lol. Probably some corporate policy right? Also, what is your manager afraid of? I didn't get it
This has nothing to do with diversity and inclusion. Your bias and possibly some bitterness is just showing that's all. At an intern level people learn, make mistakes and move forward. It depends on how the manager handles whatever happens next.
