Now lemmy is flooding me with corporate propaganda? Good on the company for doing the right thing, but when I see this same headline in multiple communities on here, it reminds me of reddit.
But woke Marxism tho!!!
What is DEI?
Questions against it is usually bigoted. It seemed to be the popular MAGA dogwhistle this election.
It’s not really a dogwhistle, DEI is diversity, equity and inclusion - they’re outright saying they don’t want diversity equity and inclusion.
DEI is a dog whistle in that for conservatives it means woke. They want companies to continue oppressing non white, non-cis, non-hetero people. Or at the very least, not actively elevate them.
Yes! I want to see data somewhere. I hear all the time that DEI puts less qualified people in positions but I think I’ve only read one article about this being found out and provable (no idea if it was even fact, it was so many years ago) though I have not researched the data or anything. I think it’s similar to the “welfare queen” screeching. Because one shit person took advantage of a system meant to help, does not mean that all who are a part of that system have the same goal.
And the recent news of Elon wanting to hire from overseas because Americans are too dumb. Assume by race and location of person that they are the most qualified… hmmm. Their bigotry doesn’t even make sense consistently.
The data is available but data doesn’t make a fucking difference here. The people pushing anti-DEI policies are racists and they don’t care if it’s good for the company.
They just want to hurt people.
The idea that there is an objectively “most qualified” candidate is a fairy tale for people who have never done high level professional hiring at any scale. The idea is that if you have two candidates with similar credentials, diversity itself can be a value added item for a bunch of reasons which are not easily reflected on resumes.
But we can hear the whistle too. Being against diversity, equality, and inclusion is pretty blatant mask-off stuff.
I think it’s a sporting goods store
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Programs, most often hiring, promoting those values
Awesome, now I have to block posts about Costco.
DEI is all about making money by using resources that being racist and dumb leaves on the table. The moment it becomes too expensive DEI won’t fix it.
Id rather have DEI than not have it, but DEI is for company profit, any other benefits are secondary.
I mean it sounds like DEI is about using the best talent available. Instead of narrowing your options. So DEI will become too expensive when the playing field is even.
DEI has a branding problem. Should have called it IED.
IED?
C-IED here. What’s the emergency?
It’s DEI just Equal Opportunity with a fresh coat of paint so racists/misogynists don’t sound like boomers from the 90s when they complain about it?
Diversity, Equality, Inclusion.
Yes, DEI is just the new name for “stop discriminating against non-white males”
