LinkedIn Staffers Go All-Lives-Matter During 'Dumpster Fire' Meeting on Racism
The highly professional social networks internal Wednesday town hall on racial injustice looked more like what you'd see in a Facebook comments section.

LinkedIn prides itself on being the highly professional, troll-free antithesis to all other social-media platforms. But on Wednesday, the companys own internal meetings looked more like a dumpster fire Facebook comments section than anything on the companys famously civil website.
Earlier this week, the career networking website announced that it would hold a virtual global town hall to address the nationwide social unrest sparked by the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd. The meeting was billed as an event to discuss racial inequality by reflecting on our own biases, practicing allyship, and intentionally driving equitable actions.
Well spend most of our time together in open discussion, so please consider bringing questions or experiences youd like to share, read the invitation email to staff.
LinkedIn employees followed those instructions precisely. The results were a disaster.
Throughout the meeting, which was conducted by videochat and featured a sidebar where employees could leave comments, several anonymous staffers shared opinions echoing the detractors and skeptics of the Black Lives Matter movement. Several of these commenters criticized LinkedIns position on diversity hiring, equating such practices with racism against white people.
