They wouldn’t even release a statement about George Floyd because it was too divisive for them, they instead gave 10k to each employee to spend on whatever they wanted, which might just as well have been BLM or a white supremacist group, they didn’t check!
Valve is managed by “everyone” (not all people are good at managing), everyone can choose what they want to work on being exiting projects or new ones, the company only hires senior people and anyone in the company can be part of the hiring process, they use their version of stack ranking where your peers rank your performance, the top of Valve does not want to be political even if the employees want to.
This causes Valve to mostly hire the kind of people already employed there (white men). High pressure on performance has become more of a turn down for especially women.
They probably run the company the way Elon Musk would run it - on paper it’s cool, but humans being humans with biases makes it not so cool.
And the boss doesn’t care that it’s a white sausage party in there and that employees who don’t fit are discriminated against even if it’s unconscious bias.

That’s not a proper citation. The video is 47 minutes long. Provide a timestamp or a quote.

Considering the amount of time you spend on here I’m sure you’ve got the time to spare anyway.
“Do your own research”
I provided the source, the whole thing is relevant.

Drag is willing to watch one minute if you provide a timestamp, and 0 minutes if you don’t. It’s your decision.
