what is ERG?

[edit] ok this is news to me So what are Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)?

Employee Resource Groups are voluntary, employee-led groups whose aim is to foster a diverse, inclusive workplace aligned with the organizations they serve.

Employee resource group, basically a group of employees that have some shared interest or background

Although as with most race, gender, or interest groups, it would be unwise to try to start one for specific combinations. Strangely, the same combinations that are labeled “oppressors”.

I’m not saying I would want to, but I find that ERGs for every other combination starts to feel like a way for organized preferential treatment to happen for all those other combinations, and all their various interests to be promoted, to the exclusion of a handful of other combinations.

No conspiracy theory here, also no prejudice here, just how it seems to work, and how I sometimes perceive these interest groups.

Society is the ERG for the specific combinations that aren't systematically held back.

What preferential treatment are your peers getting that are advancing their interests beyond yours? What are their interests that don't align with your own?
