Monzo are committed to ‘Paying off their diversity debt’. The mechanism of how they are doing this is disregarding white, male candidates in favour of those that would improve diversity stats. Monzo staff is 30 percent LGBT, 10x that of the general population. Is that because an LGBT person was the best person for the job over and over again? Or were they hired to improve stats? The fact we are even arguing this on the forums shows that they have allowed their staff to get overly political. The telegraph article has nearly 2000 comments now and likely hundreds of thousands of views. Monzo need to stop alienating their customers and reign it in before they are viewed as the Ben & Jerry’s of banks.
