Seriously? Who the hell is running these companies? Just another company I will avoid because I don’t believe in this “white privilege” BS-—they’re bottom line is “God made you wrong”.
Go pound sand!!!

A bunch of cowards are. In cases like this one, I suspect that some wokester at a meeting proposes a horrible idea. Everyone else present knows how bad the idea is. But they stay silent because they don’t want to be called racist or a hater.
So presto, the bad idea becomes company policy.
The cancer of DEI has taken over many corporations. This article reveals how it has seriously damaged Boeing whose airplanes have been in the news lately:
“Status games rule every boardroom in the country. The DEI narrative is a very real thing, and, at Boeing, DEI got tied to the status game. It is the thing you embrace if you want to get ahead. It became a means to power.
DEI is the drop you put in the bucket, and the whole bucket changes. It is anti-excellence, because it is ill-defined, but it became part of the culture and was tied to compensation. Every HR email is: “Inclusion makes us better.” This kind of politicization of HR is a real problem in all companies.
If you look at the bumper stickers at the factories in Renton or Everett, it’s a lot of conservative people who like building things—and conservative people do not like politics at work.
The radicalization of HR doesn’t hurt tech businesses like it hurts manufacturing businesses. At Google, they’re making a large profit margin and pursuing very progressive hiring policies. Because they are paying 30 percent or 40 percent more than the competition in salary, they are able to get the top 5 percent of whatever racial group they want. They can afford, in a sense, to pay the “DEI tax” and still find top people.
But this can be catastrophic in lower-margin or legacy companies. You are playing musical chairs, and if you do the same things that Google is doing, you are going to end up with the bottom 20 percent of the preferred population.”
