If they’re doing it quietly, don’t announce it
The thumbnail/preview pic looks like they are enlarging something …
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.
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!
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.
Trump: We have to end dei. It’s ugly and bad and super scary.
Companies: Just rename it. That talking Cheeto can’t read the policy anyway.
ROFL. Seriously, PresiCheeto can only recognise two things:
- $$$
- Underage Girls
Please tell me it’s now called IED.
No, it’s called myED. It’s almost the same but not as firm as it used to be…
That sounds like an overall positive outcome, at least compared to many corporations or there…?
No good until they loudly bring them back.
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?
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.”
I like to ask them which letter of DEI they think is the worst one and watch them realize they can’t answer without being a bad person.
“systemic human resources roadblock removal”
SHRRR
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
To me if they made a big deal about it, it’s because they weren’t actually making a big deal about it. Where are the metrics?
If I work for a company that has a DEI policy, and I think my manager fired me because they don’t like something about me that falls into that category, there’s not much recourse for that because there is a DEI policy in place so obviously it was my “job performance.”
june 1st is coming
🔫 Keep walking, Target.
I’ll go back. When their trans kid friendly clothing lines return.
Uh…no? We know where the stand is all I’m saying.
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.
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
DEI must but trendy again
What, line suddenly stopped going up?
