    The thing about dei initiatives is that they don’t even work. All of this bullcrap and none of them were even close to hitting their targets anyway.

    It’s like the Paris accords. We’re in the Paris accords, then we’re out of the Paris accords. Then we’re in them again, and then out of them again…and the whole time the world is burning record breaking amounts of fossil fuels.

      Absolutionist garbage.

      Granted, it’s a low percentage of initiatives that are reaching their goals, typical of many new initiatives, but it’s certainly not none. The majority of research and data on DEI initiatives shows that they are benefiting a majority of employees, despite only 5% of initiatives meeting their goals.

      It’s like saying all weightloss routines are bullcrap because nobody ever meets their weightloss goals.

      Sometimes they’re used to just point at it in case of an anti-discrimination lawsuit. Sometimes it was a real policy that did real change.
