Any company calling their hiring methodology as "supporting diversity" is saying that the company is no longer competitive and that such diversity hiring is the excuse for the lower performance of the company.

At this point they're circling the drain.

I would start with finding a lawyer.

Granted, right now if you are a cis white guy good luck getting standing, but at least pay to have the case reviewed.

Considering that 90% of the white males in that business are likely Antifa/BLM supporters in spirit, if not actions, they’re about to get a MAJOR life lesson.

So the layoffs will be based on the color of the skin rather than on work performance?

Sell the company stock short!

Any company that refuses to hire, retain, and promote base on merit will fail.

(Not so for gov't offices because to fail is to win given their objectives)

That’s an immediate ticket to the EEOC and a threatened Federal lawsuit.

The only openly pro racist/ippressive I know are not white.
No,that’s not entirely true.
Many racist/oppressive leftards..maybe that’s who they are leaving go?

“””In the past year, Twilio shares have declined in value by over 78%.”””


This was the last sentence in this story. Gee, it appears a WOKE company has gone BROKE.

“As you all know, we are committed to becoming an Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression company,” Lawson wrote... ‘so we are gonna lay off z bunch of white honkeys in an effort to keep the blm crowd from burning down our businesses and robbing us blind, because you know, we ain’t racist or nuttin’

They are a tech company (software as a service): SMS messaging (Twilio SMS), email services (SendGrid), and password manager (Authy).

This comment probably reflects badly on me, but does this picture of the CEO, plus the San Francisco location make anyone else think that this guy is likely “light in the loafers”or that he “plays for the other team”?

Republicans do anything and it is racist.

Democrats do anything bad and it is anti-racist.

Oh, it’s a “corporate communications enterprise”. IOW the reword memos to employees of corporations or something. 😵‍💫
