1. "The black talent pool is limited."
2. Requirement of diverse candidates on all jobs over $100K --> fictitious interviews with diverse candidates --> settlement with investor pool over said fictitious interviews.
3. Gutting the mortgage program and investment to increase black/minority mortgages, with presumably separate underwriting standards --> investigation into violation of Fair Lending Act.

Wonder how much more support black minorities can take. Let me guess, it was Stumpf's fault.

Could this happen to Shell?

NEW YORK (AP) — Defense contractor Lockheed Martin has agreed to pay $29.5 million to settle claims by President Donald Trump’s administration that it discriminated against white workers through its efforts to promote diversity and equity in an internal bonus program.

Lockheed Martin will pay $22 million to the U.S. government to resolve claims that it failed to comply with anti-discrimination requirements in its federal contracts, according to the settlement announced late Tuesday by the Justice Department and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

In addition, Lockheed Martin will pay $7.5 million to more than 1,000 affected employees as part of a settlement with the EEOC, which had been investigating the company for violating Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race.

Outstanding performers resignations all at once - cited reasons: Toxic environment, confused on role, DEI over reach, Engine replacnent training, Chevron shrinking US and lastly from top person - ignorant people thinking meetings all day is work.
Looks like other comapanies are cherry picking the best. Personally I think chevron will merge with number 2 or 3.

I’d guess that something like 40% of TIAA employees voted Republican. When a leader gets on stage and says “we are up by 30 seats in the house” I have a feeling some employees might feel an inclusion problem.

These webinars are a joke. She just commented "we are all immigrants". Some are not and take offense. Native Americans, Native Alaskans, Hawaiian,..shoukd I keep going. Think not, she has to go.

Amazing how BNY recently shut down the Cork office, but now they buy the Shipping Office for €165m

Recruitment is failing abysmally, the new recruits seem like DEI hires on juiced up resumes.

However, it's not really DEI, it's desperation!

Its so laughable when Pearson.jobs site has this on its home page. The very first line is a big fat lie. They don't value their people. In fact, they removed their entire DEI page when the new administration came to power.
My advise to Pearson management - Don't claim what you cannot stand by, its not hard lest you are labelled as a RAT.

Our Culture
We value the well-being of our people. That's why, for most roles, we offer flexibility in how and where we work—be it from home, an office, or during non-traditional hours. You can help us build a culture where everyone—regardless of what they look like, where they come from, or what they believe—has the capability to unlock new skills and claim new opportunities.

Many of the LI brag posts on UNC training include a photo of the attendees and it is clear that the training is to promote DEI. Under represented groups are very much over represented in the attendees.

They say that want to have open paths to growth but for most Director level and hire only hire outside of the organization.

This company and "leaders" are horrible dont practice a word of what preach and say. Only ones that seem are those at the C Suite...I mean how many times can Prem be promoted for instance

Also if you are a male dont expect to get anywhere , company so DEI nuts they hire so unqualified people as long as you are not a white male.
I mean people told others dont hire someone but did because female. They they reduced her work and gave to others but kept.

The government cracking down on all this DEI bull, would like them to force CVS to drop it or lose contracts. Hiring bad people to follow a narrative which leads to bad mistakes is insane.

It's more apparent these days that the increase in promotions at these levels are DEI/High School education level versus College Educated/Non DEI.

Tracking with this observation is results are decreasing as education/meritocracy gets devalued.

Dan... not hard to fix. Shareholders await.

How is it possible to continue with an organization Senior Director staffed with zero revenues going on 2+ years?

Use that budget to support Customers and grow real revenues.

Competiton is real. DEI is not.

Does diversity mean just not white?

57 visible in the photo about 7% white..

Remind me again of the demographics of this country??

Get woke, go broke:

Teradata’s fall can trace directly to SM hire.

He went directly to DEI, ESG and hiring based on imputable characteristics…

Managers had DEI dashboards with bonuses based on DEI. ESG was front and center with Each all hands meetings.

Pronouns had more priority than a bullet proof Business plan…. Changes to internal systems to make they/them smile.

ELT hires? Pure DEI.

6 years of woke put Teradata in this position.

Go woke … Go broke.

Teradata… the perfect case study

I must say.. initially I thought Dan did not have a strategy. But when Board member said he didn't want to get ahead of Dan on strategy it's now obvious.

Dan's strategy is to rebalance expenses and eliminate Han's DEI stink.

How? Appoint Consumer President and Consultants outside of legacy Inept Vz Execs to reset Verizon for aquisition.

There is zero operational/marketing strategies for growrh on purpose.

Buckle up!

how many dei employees did aap originally hire? and how many do we still have calling the shots?

A judge just sided with the EEOC that NM must turn over all DEI related data as part of a federal investigation. The years of discriminatory practices against white males in the field and home office is about to be exposed.

Now that Intel removed DEI, they think it’s ok to target minority groups. I’m glad Federal employment laws exist beyond DEI.

I put it on the table everyday, then on their foreheads while they swallow my salty taint. This company doesn't deserve my genius or talent. I've never worked with such a pool of executive low iq mental mid-ets in my life. I knew DEI hires were a thing, but this is a step below that. Seriously you can all get a taste if you're reading this.

I’m unclear whether we have staff dedicated to DEI. Is the program delivering meaningful value for the company and its people, or is it mostly symbolic?

KD has done an excellent job of inculcating staff into new speak and all things dei and inclusion.

Who are they going to layoff. What class or feature of employees?

I wonder if any DEI department employees were let go.

Geoff’s AI and Healthtech garbage along with DEI has gotten out of control. Does anyone at Medtronic know how to operate anything or make any operating decisions with half a brain? Fu-k this company

For Juneteenth the last couple years, you know, when we were trying to pretend to be hip and woke?

You guys all excited for the summit?!?

This sums up many people here. Luckily most of the people I work with aren’t into this

VZ employees have “no leverage” after years of water cooler “shuck-n-jive” talk about the game and where the “free food” is it’s over. DEI is dying and those of you who hide behind the veil of color are “suspect at this time”.

The concept of “reverse diversity” came to me during this chaotic RIF and ReOrg. Apart from architects and data scientists, it is the third problem Fidelity must fix.

If you have a team with 100% African Americans in tech, it’ll be odd. 100% African Americans in an NBA team, not odd. 100% whites in a tech team? Not diversified but also not odd. How do you rationalize the oddness of team diversity?

• Merit. If a team is not diversified because the only talents is from one origin, it’s not odd.
• Population. If a team composition (roughly) mirrors that of the population, it’s not odd. That’s why a 100% white team is not that odd in a white dominant society.

With this understanding, now think about the 100% Indians teams? (Of course I'm exaggerating to make a point but not far from reality). 100% Indian teams is such a commonplace in Fidelity tech that it’s not odd at all. There lies the problem.

• Are all the Indians on the team “talents”? Certainly not! Most are average or below average hired by fellow Indians.
• Are Indians the dominant ethnicity in America? Certainly not! A population minority dominates Fidelity tech.

Hence what we need is reverse diversity. Those 100% Indian teams need to be diluted to make them roughly mirror the population outside of Fidelity tech.

In my opinion, that start of Humana shifting from being a great place to work to being not so great a place to work are the following three factors entering the scene of the corporation.

—DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion)
—Cloud & AI (Artificial Intelligence)
—Outsourcing (H1B, Overseas, Contracting)

If you think dei is gone, you are wrong. Heard it in a meeting today, sorry old white guys, doesn't matter what you contribute or sacrifices that you have made to build this company. Diversity is more important than being able to deliver value and results, it is our strength! You are the first on the chopping block and they are proud about it......Imagine how happy our customers are going to be when we are so diverse!! can't meet their needs, but we are diverse, it is our strength!!

"I used to be a great supporter of Indians in India until I opened my eyes up to what's going on here. White men need not apply to jobs in the state of California. Never mind in high tech. I don't care what your qualifications are. You're not getting a job at High Tech in California. Your chances are nil. You have to be from India or China because almost all the internal mechanisms are set up to be run by Indians and Chinese."

Do you remember when we were sent a book by ibram x kendi and ask to read it. And we had DEI meetings discussing pronouns and such? What a bunch of garbage that was.

Finally. Not much of a penalty. Should have been $17,000,000,000.

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/ibm-pays-17-million-resolve-allegations-discrimination-through-illegal-dei-practices

"The United States alleged that IBM took race, color, national origin, or s-x into account when making employment decisions, including by using a diversity modifier that tied bonus compensation to achieving demographic targets. The government further alleged that IBM altered interview criteria based on race or s-x through the use of “diverse interview slates” and other related employment practices in connection with identifying “diverse” candidates for hiring, transfer, or promotion."

Has anyone heard of managers being pushed to hire diverse candidates here over other candidates regardless of qualifications?

I have friends and colleagues at verizon and several other companies and organizations.
I've heard many, many complaints about D.E.!. hires but I've never heard a single positive thing about them.
Never once have I heard someone say they were happy they had the D.E.!. Never heard that they saved the day or came up with the most ingenious solution.
Isn't that odd?

So when tf are the managers who enabled this going to be called out? I know who you are at a few opcos. You followed Danaher orders like submissive little boys and girls.
