Unfortunately, with Bankman’s incestuous corporate structure updating my assumptions, I do believe it is right to ask: are they dating their PAs?
So are you saying that because people at a company that donated a lot of money to EA causes seem to have dated each other in ways that caused conflicts of interest, it’s right for you to ask on a public forum: Did this woman only get a PA job working for EAs in Berkeley because she’s dating the person who hired her?
Oh, no—not ‘because-dating-already’, nor as a favor, nor her aspiring to use beauty, or being unqualified. Rather, if people doing the hiring are selecting among excellent candidates, yet their selection favors people who those same authorities hope to try dating. It’s the hirer, not the one hired, who I call into question; as I said originally “hoping to hire-in” which places agency and blame with those being biased in their hiring.
Also, I don’t expect a flat ‘gender disparity’ to be indicative of this sort of hiring—rather, internal measure of co-worker and boss relationships would show if the social graph is incestuous. And, though it isn’t reasonable to say “the funder of a charity was hiring inappropriately, so the charity must also be doing so,”—and, at the same time, “a bunch of young college kids with money who all live and hang out together, dating each other,” is the shared characteristic that I argue warrants inclusion of that risk.
