I'm not complaining but.....

I am beginning to wonder if there is something going on at my job..... It is very weird for me to say this but I am noticing a trend here.

My group is growing really fast and we are hiring like crazy. Since I started in mid June, there are 7 new hires who have come on or will be coming on by next week. And, get this......... they are all minorities..... And not only that, 6 are black and 4 are black women! Now this is an area of the company that is being talked up as the future of the company and they keep hiring black folks. When does that ever happen?

Also, I am in a group of 4, reporting to a white guy and 3 of us are black women and then there is 1 white guy. While I think this is great, I will admit I am starting to get a little suspicious..... I recommended 3 people from my old job for some open positions in my new group, 2 white and 1 black. The black woman got hired..... Maybe I am being a conspiracy theorist but before I started there were only 3 minorities in this group. Now that has increased by 200%! I am beginning to wonder if a memo went out!

Now, don't get me wrong, I have also noticed that there are no minorities in director and above positions in my particular group but there could be a lot of opportunity in this group so it seems likely that some one of us will move up at some point.....

Am I in work utopia? (or something close to it........)
