Looks like no one cares about "DEI" anymore. It is now I (Inclusion). It is last years news. My previous company even had a "VP of DEI" and he was a gay dude who scheduled virtual meetings and talked about his gayness all the time. Who cares? But he took home a big paycheck for playing victim.


DEI is getting a new name. Can it dump the political baggage?

Last year, Eli Lilly's annual shareholders letter referenced the acronym for diversity, equity and inclusion 48 times. This year, "DEI" is nowhere to be found.

In March, Starbucks got shareholder approval to replace "representation" goals with "talent" performance for executive bonus incentives. At Molson Coors, "People & Planet" metrics have displaced environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals, and the acronym DEI has disappeared altogether.

Whenever something the left does becomes toxic, they simply rename or rebrand it, and keep right on at it.

About six months ago I got road blocked by an HR director that had the term 'DEI ambassador' on her LinkedIn profile. I was cruising through the process and the lady that was going to be my boss, a 60ish year old black woman, liked me a lot. She has a great reputation in our world and we would have worked very well together. All I had to do was to clear HR and she admitted to me that a few years ago operations(retail) had to give control of the hiring to HR, even at Director/VP level.

Anyway no call, no response, no **** off, nothing from the HR lady. straight Stonewalled and I am 99% sure that if operations had their choice I would be there today.

I noticed the other day that the term 'DEI ambassador' was gone from her profile.

One of the benefits of a dumbed-down populace is simple moves like this are highly effective.

Cant wait for the LinkedIn Lunatics to continue their furious butt****ing over this stupid bull*****

Look at these ******ed grifters languishing in the fact that their golden goose, birthed by St Floyd of Fentenyl, is dead, and all of the money that they bilked out of it has officially dried up.

I assume most of these people will start having Palestine flags in their profiles shortly -- on to the next money-making grift -- for equity of course.

The good news is it's been stigmatized (which itself is a cultural win) and business world transitions can chaotic. Rebranding should result in reevaluation of tons of initiatives, and some may not make it through.

If we get a reduction in leftist preaching at work and CEOs slow down in hiring political officers & political operatives - that's at least better than the alternative unimpeded trajectory.

Masters of propaganda. And they know how increasingly dumb their base of godless useful idiot deviants is. They are diabolical, but brilliant. Reapeat the lie just a few times and it now becomes the reality.

Yep especially if we dont call this poison out fast and often

Environment is another term that has been used to replace the whole DEI thing.

I think it is all a ploy to keep someone's relative gainfully employed.

So instead of referring to DEI, Taylor switched to calling these efforts "IED," putting the focus on "inclusion" as DEI accrued cultural and political baggage.

Don't outlaw it by name. Outlaw the practices that it involves.

The practices ARE illegal. Time for some lawfare

my company has same "position" and all he has ever shared in any meeting I have been forced to attend, he talks about his "husband " and his experience as a gay man. He is paid $600-$700k for the riveting commentary. Clown world we live in

Yep. That combined with situational ethics ("well, it's MY truth!") is the enemy within.

I work for a woke public company.

Earlier this year the company dropped 'Equity' and replaced it with 'Opportunity.' A step in the right direction but I wonder if it has changed the actions of management and HR.

Part of the problem remains the public's understanding that the leftists have replaced 'equality' with 'equity'. Too many are not paying attention and way to many of the people that do pay attention don't understand the fundamental difference between the two.

Who would have guessed that DEI was trans

Pretty sure it's already illegal to discriminate based on skin color, sex and religion

Yet they do it anyway!

This is nothing more than a way to hide their agenda. You can bet the mission hasn't changed - definitions just change to hide their actions

Good idea, but you have to get people working in all he areas of those companies to be the change you want to see in them. That takes dedication and time, but if done, the changes can happen.

Any idea which protected group member got that job instead of you?

Would be hilarious if we both were talking about the same guy in the same company!
The company I was at had a lot of gay men and trans folks in high positions. Turned out my skip level manager was also gay.

Now I don't care if one is gay or not, not my problem or business. But keep that sheet at home. Don't bring it into the workplace. I don't talk about whom I am having sex with and I don't need to know who others are having sex with.

About 10 years ago, I was at a different company and there was an openly gay fellow with exaggerated gay behaviors. He was very in-you-face with his gayness. On Pride Month, he wanted to decorate the entire office with garish gay colors "so spread love and tolerance". Thankfully I left before all that happened.

You take a piece of crap, you sterilize it, deodorize it, chocolate cover it, and gold plate it.

What you have is a clean, nice smelling, sweet, expensive, piece of crap.

DEI

Didn't Earn It

They lost control of the acronym

No but I will eventually find out. I have been hanging pretty low since then working on a bunch of real estate stuff. I was pretty pissed. I have a buddy who would know but I haven't talked to him lately.

It's probably a good thing. Retail is a dying industry, at least for senior managers. I wanted to do it and the pay would have rocked, but I don't really need the money and it is a highly stressful job.

I have some long term worries for some brands that we all really like.
