An alleged former hiring manager at Microsoft’s AI Platform division claims he felt pressured to hire people for important roles at the company based on racial requirements, overlooking other qualified candidates because they would not count towards Microsoft's diversity goals, imposed from above by the company's 'Diversity and Inclusion' department.
An alleged former hiring manager at Microsoft’s AI Platform division claims he felt pressured to hire people for important roles at the company based on racial requirements, overlooking other qualified candidates because they would not count towards Microsoft’s diversity goals, imposed from above by the company’s “Diversity and Inclusion” department., with the author using a pen name to conceal their identity. Extracts from the story follow.

But I soon learned that there was more to Microsoft’s commitment to D&I than making me write some text that was only visible to my manager every few months. I received an email from my corporate vice president , requiring all managers and employees above a certain level to publicly share our personal D&I plans.
The hiring manager claims he was instructed that in order to fill any position at Microsoft in the U.S., he would have to interview one black, hispanic, or latin candidate and one female candidate before making a decision.
