Many companies that rolled back DEI policies are quietly bringing them back - WTOP News
If they're doing it quietly, don't announce it
The thumbnail/preview pic looks like they are enlarging something ...
Yo momma's so stretched, when she wants to Goatse the whole crew has to help out
And the sailors sing 'hi, hoe' the whole time!
No they're the cartoon strawmen bad guys from the Captain Planet cartoons. There's summoning whatever that evil Captain planet equivalent was called. Except they added a few extra rings, like War Profiteering and Genocide.
The non-fictional every-day regular existing humans with money?

Idk, I think they have assistants to do the actual summoning for them.
(Sadly, Captain Planet, the only one fighting them, is fictional.)
No good until they loudly bring them back.
Yup. If they're not doing business with the federal government, they need to point out that it's a free country and they can do whatever the hell they think is good for business. And follow up by pointing out that Target's current condition shows that eliminating DEI is clearly bad for business if it's something that the customer base expects.
It never should have been loud in the first place. Just have them. Do them. It doesn’t even need to be called DEI. These are things that should exist as a norm.
Exactly. And if you want DEI removed, you're gonna have to define it for me. Cause all I hear is "woman and minorities."
Honestly, I feel like most companies didn’t do a big marketing thing about this stuff. If was commenting that pretty much just got promoted on the careers page so applicants knew about the company culture
Also, because HR usually owns the careers page, and DEI teams usually roll in HR
"systemic human resources roadblock removal"
I don't quite agree. On the one hand, all of those companies that publicly caved to Trump are f****** terrible. On the other hand, a lot of DEI policies are actually basic common sense, because if you want to get skilled employees, it's pretty ridiculous to exclude everyone who's not white male. Which is to say, if companies have similar policies to what they had before even using a different name, it's probably good for them and their employees, even if their cowardice is bad for the nation.
Its kind of like when racial quotas were struck down by the courts for colleges. I dont think we need to have quotas for racial categories of people, but the school can still overall choose for diversity in any given instance without having legit racial quotas. They can see the diversity of any applicant as a benefit to their application over a student who does not offer that perspective.
The law cant say “universities arent allowed to value diversity” but its fair that it can say “schools arent allowed to admit based on ‘we want X amount of Y race of people’”
Overall, a system that just recognizes, values, and attempts to incorporate diverse perspectives is far better than something like racial quotas, even though they are both “DEI”
That was a long sentence, what do you disagree with though?
My employer has DEI but to prevent cuts from funding, they just changed the name and kept the policies. Its unfortunate but its better than having these policies and programs cut.
We have had EEO programs since like the 60s. DEI is just new slang.
That sounds like an overall positive outcome, at least compared to many corporations or there...?
Are we going back to EEO?
It's a shame 'DEI' has become so political. Generally speaking, these policies strengthen teams and improve outcomes. Even in terms of biology, non-diverse populations are (typically) less likely to survive long term.
People think it means ‘affirmative action’. Like straight up. Those people who complain most are almost always making it sound like it’s only there to give people jobs which shouldn’t have them.
What it was intended for was to increase diversity, hence ‘D’, which improves the amount of perspectives and views and capabilities. This diversity strengthens teams in businesses.
People seem to think it means: ‘hand jobs over to people who are minorities, just because’
It’s so incredibly stupid and frustrating.
My defense for them was that it seems investment banks, who are loathe to lose money, seemed to retain these policies which suggests they make them more money.
100%. Theres a lot of studies on DEI that shows it does save money while making people at work happier, more satisfied and better work outcomes overall. They're really a win win for all.
They only ever had them because it was good for neo-liberal capitalist business.
They're not real allies, which should be obvious by how quickly they jerked their policies away on the whims of a dictator.
That shows they don't actually have those values, just see opportunities they'll take if they think there's money and political benefits coming.
nobody wants to have a TARGET on their chest
What, line suddenly stopped going up?
DEI must but trendy again
