    People don’t have a problem saying they oppose dei or the full phrase and will happily explain that they do not like workplace policy designed around diversity equity and inclusion.

    Dei is absolutely something that should be considered but the right managed to absolutely annihilate it with their fake news propaganda campaign. When its brought back it needs to be packaged different. I think having every corporation parrot the phrase over and over doesn’t not help.

      A union is one way of enforcing DEI. They’ve taken away the moderate alternative.

      I think people vastly overestimate the impact of DEI anyway. Where I have worked it’s basically you can’t discriminate against women or minorities.

      There were no extra points for hiring or promotion. HR had their diversity goals, but it was really out of their hands other than targeted advertising.

      The elephant in the room that the anti DEI folk dance around is simply “But we want to discriminate!”

        Did I read you wrong or weren’t those DEI HR folks actually discriminating?

          No? They tried to recruit from places that they wouldn’t traditionally in order to get a more diverse hiring pool. So instead of just hiring the managers buddy, you set up a booth at the traditionally black college’s career fair.
