Hey Palantir, if you don’t want another company to “steal” (
) your “diverse staff” (
) maybe try hiring more than a single white woman executive. Maybe try hiring people of color too. Maybe try promoting them!

You could start, though, by shifting your thinking about those folks (and hell, while we’re at it, the rest of your staff too!). It’s really hard to believe this needs to be said out loud, but: Your staff is NOT your property. They cannot be “stolen.”

Thinking about staff as “property that can be stolen” places the locus of control externally - e.g. “everything was fine until GoogBook STOLE them!” You’re making it GoogBook’s fault that an employee left. Oh well, nothing you could do about that, right??

Instead of thinking about them as property, it may be helpful to think about them as individuals with free will - who will vote with their feet when it comes to the quality of your workplace.
