now that DEI is fading...


[sigh... posting in POLITICS cuz people think that EVERYTHING that affects humans and society has to be political even when not attached to this or that party...]

DEI in business is winding down.
YES, it is still there, but more and more businesses are dropping it because it is senseless, accomplished nothing, and sucked away more budget than it was worth. I'm in a position to see the money side of this, but will not share details on that. Suffice to say it was money not well spent. Especially for a business's bottom line in these harder times.

So, what are people thinking about this?
Is it the end of the civilized world?
No one cares?
Will it come back?
Eh, just nature rebalancing reality yet again?
Other?

Most normal humans ALWAYS support fairness, but hiring based on sex or race will always be sexist and racist. How about the most skilled/qualified person for the job instead?

From the article:
“Retailers left to their own devices would like to be very proactive on DEI,” said the person. “But now they don’t want any of their views to be public because they want to be able to sell stuff to everybody, and it’s become such a stupid political issue.”

See, this is the problem — they have zero interest in moving on from DEI; they just want to keep their DEI agenda hidden away from public view and avoid it becoming a "stupid political issue". But that isn’t remotely good enough. Those who back DEI and push this ideology need to be purged entirely and blacklisted so they can’t just leap into another company and wreak havoc. These ideologues need to be purged from every company, organization, and institution, across all sectors, and cast out to shadows to live like the rats they are.

Agreed but it is BUSINESS AS USUAL, and business exist to make money. They TRIED to placate a small group, but pissed off the majority of shoopers. BAD MOVE. Time to rebalance, and stabilize.... yet again.

It tried, it's failing due to reality, and will be buried along said the adoption of Ebonics, and Common Core math. Stupid eats itself.

No I get that, but I need them to be held accountable for the damage they've done to our culture. The idea of them just moving on like nothing ever happened is not good enough for me. They need to pay.

And how do you intend to enforce this? Employers may or may not blacklist or choose to not hire people based on their history, but you can't conscript it.

would be nice. :)

hey! REPARATIONS!!! :D

because REALITY ALWAYS REBALANCES itself

I guess THE ONLY THING this can mean is that Walmart HATES HATES HATES blacks, asians, mexican, gays, and trans, right? That is the ONLY reason, right?

reply

and MCDONALDS "reexamining" DEI....

it's just bad business folks, and also racist at its core.
bad business means affecting profit and businesses EXIST only for and because of profit.

bad business means closing businesses, means less jobs for everyone. not just blacks, or whites, or asian, or mexican....

bad business affects ALL races

Called it right from the start, still calling it.

reply

it keeps fading.... and fading.... more and more.

called it long ago

It’s not just fading — there’s an all-out war on it now. I've been advocating for this for years now. I predicted this a long time ago: that one day, the fascists would rise, and we would purge everyone associated with this ideology from every facet of society. Well, we don’t have full-blown fascism yet, but we’ve got a very mild version of it, and look at what’s already happening: a complete and total purge of the government, with intense pressure on the private sector to do the same and rid itself of anyone tied to DEI. Now, just imagine what we could achieve if real fascists were in power — people like me. Wokeism would be eradicated completely.

I don't like Trump but as a white male I'm happy to see this nonsense end. It was necessary to help blacks overcome the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow. But privileged white women have benefitted more than anybody. Asians, Latinos, gays, white women should not be getting an advantage over anybody.
