Exactly

Not fast enough.

all of those hurt by this layoff should learn to become SS agents...


hate DEI

In other words, these companies are predicting a Trump victory

I always assumed the would only do something like that if there were horrible/troubling indicators with the economy/financial markets.

you can just feel that the good guys have Hamas, democrats and leftism on the run right now.

don't let up!

Yes! I feel like we've been on one hell of a winning streak. Society has crossed the threshold of social conscience regarding DEI and most people see it as a punchline now.

ESG doesn't mean **** when it comes to borrowing now that interest rates are so high.

It was an advantage when it was essential to get free money and investment. I think that's what he means by "no longer business critical"...but it was because market manipulation by Marxists

It was critical to their shareholders approval. Now that DEI isn't doing any more for them, it's easy to get rid of.

DEI has, finally, run its course. Does that mean women and LGBTQXYZ are all going to lose their jobs, no, but it will mean that every position and department that was created only for the individuals that met that very tight criteria are going to be looked at to see if they're really needed. Business 101 from beginning to end.

It has been politics 101 from beginning to end.

They were protection from leftist lawfare attack in the private sector for a time. The deal was that they give into extortion and hire some useless leftist activists and say the right things and they escape the worst of legal assaults and regulatory threats. They submitted. All the shareholders and customers and non DEI employees paid the price.

The above, from F16's most articulate poster, is dead on.

As someone in the know, it was business critical, but for finance purposes.

Don't pretend it is "OUT" it is just going to be rebranded.

See my comment above. I am aware of that. To help with ESG score.

When you look hard enough, you realize they're one and the same.

Exactly. We can't let our guard down and assume the root issue is being rooted out just yet.

We've even had Aggie's that work in HR post on here about how DEI is good for businesses and has little to nothing to do with race or hiring less qualified people. All in the name of improving 'workplace satisfaction'.

Essentially admitting that they are going to rebrand but keep doing the same thing because they've been caught and don't see the err of their ways.

Agreed, total sham.

DEI is a luxury item that will be pitched overboard in a bad economy

Yep; what's the new terminology?

A lot of these grifters convinced Fortune 500 companies that it was

A good summary of how this affects smaller companies.

But, DEI was so critical for financing at every level for a few years. (still is, but hopefully waning).

My brother works for one of the Big 3 oil companies in New Mexico. They recently sent a corporate talking head guy out from Houston to gather everyone together and lecture them on the importance of DEI at company X, and how they are going to do "more". One of his co-workers (Hispanic guy, like 80% of his crew) raised his hand afterwards and asked, "So does that mean you're going to fire a bunch of us Mexicans and try to hire black dudes?" Talking head guy's brain couldn't come up with a sentence to respond…

Probably worse; they'll try to integrate women, trans, etc. and productivity will go down 70% or more due to complaints, poor camaraderie, and destruction of culture

At my friends company, they promoted some avg performing girl out of the blue, kind of surprised a few people. Within a month the best employee on the team (white guy) quit and took another job. Apparently he was pissed about it, that he didn't get the promotion or any consideration. Company frequently touts the number of women in leadership they have.
