招聘中歧视年轻白人男性已成公开秘密 招聘会现场。 12 月 10 日，纽约一场 媒体、学术界和娱乐行业的所有人都心知肚明，有这样一件事正在发生。不少人对此心怀疑虑，却几乎 没人敢直言不讳。如今终于有人站出来发声，许多人却又假装自己从未亲眼目睹。无论从何种角度来 看，这都令人难以置信。 我所说的，是多年来众多机构在招聘时形成的一种倾向 ——优先录用除白人异性恋男性之外的所有群 体。正如雅各布・萨维奇在为《Compact》杂志撰写的近期文章中，以极具说服力的观点指出的那样， 这种倾向对一个群体的冲击最为严重：年轻白人男性。他们尚且没有足够时间积累专业技能与工作经 验，而这些本可以弥补他们 "肤色上的劣势"。 萨维奇援引相关数据指出，部分精英机构的入门级岗位中，白人男性的录用比例出现断崖式下跌：初级 编剧岗位的白人男性占比从 48% 降至 12%；哈佛大学人文学科终身教职预备岗位的白人男性占比，则 从 39% 下滑至 18%。这些变化都发生在过去十年间。 影响至今仍在这些机构中延续。但即便抛开这一背景不谈，新闻编辑部、编剧团队和高校课堂的白人占 比原本就会很高，因为在 20 世纪 60 至 80 年代出生的美国人中 ...

Core Argument - The article argues against the short-sighted and dangerous approach of significantly cutting entry-level jobs solely for cost reduction, emphasizing that these positions are essential for future leadership, innovation, culture, and society itself [1][16]. Group 1: Importance of Entry-Level Jobs - Entry-level jobs are crucial for developing future mid-level professionals and leaders, as they provide foundational skills and perspectives necessary for effective decision-making [4][5]. - Eliminating entry-level positions would sever the talent development pipeline, leading to management that lacks practical experience and understanding of core business operations [4][5]. - Entry-level roles serve two primary functions: task completion and the cultivation of capable individuals within the organization and society [5]. Group 2: Innovation and Organizational Culture - Innovation often originates from those closest to the work, as entry-level employees can identify inefficiencies and propose creative solutions without being constrained by traditional thinking [6]. - A diverse workforce, including younger employees, enriches organizational culture and fosters creativity, while the absence of entry-level workers can lead to a stagnant and homogeneous environment [7]. Group 3: Societal Impact - Work provides individuals with purpose, structure, and a sense of belonging; the absence of entry-level jobs could lead to social issues such as alienation and unrest among millions of young people [8]. Group 4: Redesigning Entry-Level Work - To protect entry-level jobs, organizations must rethink their design to ensure they remain valuable in an AI-driven workplace, focusing on understanding the rationale behind tasks rather than merely performing repetitive ones [10][11]. - Emphasizing skill enhancement is vital, as critical thinking combined with AI can lead to better outcomes; training should include exercises that encourage questioning AI outputs [12]. - The redesign of work should prioritize human involvement in defining problems and building relationships, rather than allowing AI to replace all human tasks [13]. - Entry-level jobs should not only focus on task completion but also on talent development, allowing individuals to experience pressure and uncertainty, which are essential for building resilience and judgment [14][15]. Group 5: Future Considerations - The article suggests that organizations should redefine value beyond mere output, considering contributions to culture and innovation, and that entry-level jobs are foundational to this transformation [16]. - The future of work should be shaped proactively, ensuring that entry-level positions remain a vital part of a more intelligent, equitable, and satisfying work environment in the age of AI [17].
