#dei

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?

https://www.hcamag.com/us/news/general/class-action-accuses-danaher-of-turning-dei-into-hiring-quotas/568885

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.

Pretty big push here over the last several years.

So when a high up is told to go they get a big package and “retire “. Gone is the DEI program. They’ve wanted to close it since Trump was elected. But these roles are very political so you can’t lay them off. For the rest of the team, ya’ll better get your resumes polished. Can I get retired? I’ll leave tomorrow and never speak of it again.

It’s a strange kind of “progress” when a company like VF, home to brands that market empowerment, exploration, and modern values quietly reshapes their leadership team into something that looks like a throwback out of a 1990 golf tournament brochure - a lineup of men with the same haircuts, same resumes, and same golf handicap index. Not a woman in sight unless she’s HR or planning the holiday party. TNF is a brand built on pushing boundaries, and yet we find ourselves cycling out female leaders only to rapidly replace them with the most like-minded male candidate within reach. It’s starting to feel less like strategic evolution and more like regression dressed up in corporate lingo. At a certain point, you have to ask.. is this about “best person for the job,” or is it about comfort, familiarity, and an old boys’ network reasserting itself under the radar? Because when diversity disappears at the top, it doesn’t just change optics, it’s a narrowing of perspective at the exact level where our strategy gets shaped. And most importantly, the same leaders making these decisions have daughters that will someday look for examples of women in leadership - and how disheartening it will be when they realize they can’t find any here.

It will only be hard for those getting let go. Many imposters have been brought in under DEI for a decade it’s ki-ling the company … let’s not fool ourselves here. Meta has a failing social media platform poor adoption by younger generation. Metaverse is just a creepy place for furies. Meta lost the AI race, lama and other platform just disappointing. When you go woke you go broke. everyone brought in under DEI must go. No more posting those cringe LinkedIn posts to the feed or day in life on TikTok. Time to grind by real masculine energy superstars. Good luck all

For everyone that works for State Farm, you're not doing your job! You have to cancel all your State Farm policies and tell everyone you know how horrible this place is. Especially friends and family. I can't understand why anyone, especially in claims, would ever give a penny to State Farm. Are you blind to see the useless DEI, woke, ethics-less workforce and Executive leadership? This place and its service is pure trash. Yes, I will take their money for a job, while I'm looking for another job, but I will never give them a single dime. I tell anyone I can what this place is, just pure trash! Cancel your policies, and go find another job!

She’s posting regularly now again. This last one is for women, but not a word for black history month back in February. Is one group worth mentioning and not the other?

What happened? Only commenting in this forum since I keep hearing about layoffs...unfortunate.

Because of pressure from the US administration, SAP stopped most DEI programs in 2025. And now, two. Executive Board members will “step down” or “not renew contracts”.

Gina is a woman and was compassionate towards trans employees so she’s gone. We will not see a female executive board member for a long long time.

Alam is a person of color and not a Christian. He is gone as well. We will not see a person of color or a non-Christian in the executive board anytime soon.

In any case, LGBT members never make it to important positions within SAP so we won’t see them in the executive board either.

They needed Gina only to bring performance management and destroy most of the employee benefits. And they needed Alam to initiate multiple reorganizations after Juergen Müller was given the boot.

What changes do you think will happen in teams now? Will they only consider white Christian males for leadership roles from now on? And what about LGBT employees? Is SAP starting a program to remove all migrant employees in Germany? The demands from the US administration are pretty straightforward and the SAP board has done nothing but comply.

The feds now owe nike more than 3 billion dollars, wanna bet where this money could flow?

I will take the first shots:

500mil goes to shirts with pu--c hair in skims
300mil goes to white house bribes
200mil goes to whatever shiny useless tech someone was chasing for their VP promotion
100mil to DEI

I’m really struggling to understand how the DEI leadership is handling these layoffs. Even after all these job cuts, if the stock price still doesn’t reach $400, what’s the backup plan?
It’s disappointing to see a company that was once run so well end up in this situation. It feels like the leadership has put too much trust in a small inner circle led by DP Koka and his Indian friends, and now those same executives are driving these large-scale layoffs. Meanwhile, they’ll likely walk away with generous payouts, but what about the hardworking employees who are losing their jobs? They didn’t deserve this.
It’s frustrating to watch the company go through this, especially when employees are the ones bearing the brunt of these decisions that don’t give any meaningful results in the long run.
It’s hard to believe the CEO isn’t recognizing what’s happening. It makes me wonder whether he’s disengaged or possibly thinking about stepping away, because the current direction doesn’t seem reassuring.
If DP were to become CEO, I’d honestly be concerned about the company’s future. From my perspective, his leadership style hasn’t inspired much confidence, and I worry about what strategic decisions might follow. Overall, it just feels like the company needs stronger, more transparent leadership right now.

Are men at Nike treated equal to women? How does it affect layoff decisions?

With less men at Nike than women, should there be a Men of Nike group now?

It looks like cheerleader DEI hires all the way down?

Is this really a sales job or do they actually manage things?

If the EEOC’s investigation leads to evidence of discrimination what will be the relief? Does Nike People Solutions get an overhaul, DEI Vice President cut, abolish the illegal quotas, etc.? There seems to be a lot of predictions about GT layoffs but based on earnings may be a lot more restructuring timed with this DEI complaint…
