Realistically, most DEI initiatives I’ve seen have been more like, “put a statement acknowledging that women and minorities are less likely to apply for jobs when they don’t meet 100% of the requirements and encouraging them to apply anyway, make the work environment not a living nightmare for those candidates/employees, don’t throw resumes in the trash because they have a ‘black name,’ Sharon.” If even that much, really. Republicans act like companies are firing all the cishet white dudes instead of just maybe not having a leadership team composed exclusively of those men.
