Big news: I reached out to Accenture in December to let them know we were considering a story on their woke policies in the early part of this year.
Today, they’ve announced an end to their DEI policies and that they’ll stop working with the @HRC ’s woke CEI social credit scoring system.
I can’t do a video today like we usually do where we go into more detail because I’m out sick but we are winning and we won’t stop until corporate America is sane again.
...
Accenture was a founding member of CEO Action, the largest business-led initiative promoting DEI in the workplace, including training programs and racial quotas.
This is a BIG move by a key leader driving DEI efforts.
...
a big domino.
...
Companies are feeling pressure to scrap their DEI policies. That is a very good thing since it consists of blatant discrimination against white people and particularly white men.
...
Interesting. If you look at the wiki page of CEO Linda Sweet, she seems to have made DEI and gender parity her life's mission. She was appointed CEO in 2019, peak DEI/Me Too time. I wonder how far they'll correct with her at the helm.
...
Fantastic. Now take this win and ensure that it ripples through any of the competitors that still support DEI. Accenture competes with several major companies in the consulting, technology services, and outsourcing sectors
...
They will try to change names and keep internal programs going.
Go Robby! It’s America’s birthday.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Credit_System
The Social Credit System (Chinese: 社会信用体系; pinyin: shèhuì xìnyòng tǐxì) is a national credit rating and blacklist implemented by the government of the People’s Republic of China.[1][2] The social credit system is a record system so that businesses, individuals, and government institutions can be tracked and evaluated for trustworthiness.[1][2] The national regulatory method is based on varying degrees of whitelisting (termed redlisting in China) and blacklisting.[1][2][3]
Shazzam!
Robby Starbuck strikes again!
https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/social-scoring-systems/
Imagine: every action you take, every interaction you have, every movement you make—all reduced to a single rating on a five-point scale. A higher rating opens the door to fabulous opportunities and special benefits, while a low rating can, essentially, keep you shut off from the rest of society. That is, in essence (albeit simplified), what a social rating or social scoring system is.
.....
he premise behind a nationwide social rating system itself is relatively simple: every citizen receives a certain score to start, and certain actions either lower or increase your score. For example, donating to charity would increase your score, while buying cigarettes would lower it. People can then either be rewarded or punished based on their rating. The government, for example, could restrict a person’s travel, prevent them from entering the best universities, or even take their dog away if their score drops low enough.
To get an idea of what Accenture is just now, under duress, claiming to back away from, here’s an HRC document on its CEI standard:
is anyone else creeped out by their acronym HRC?
Dark, Fever dream shivers of Hil&^%$ Roda*&^$ Clintoon.
is anyone else creeped out by their acronym HRC?
Dark, Fever dream shivers of Hil&^%$ Roda*&^$ Clintoon.
She’s my first thought whenever I see it, too.
“is anyone else creeped out by their acronym HRC?”
I KNOW! I had to check the link to learn that it isn’t “her”.
But, “if the shoe fits”——
The big myth is my wanting or needing to know the sexual proclivities of everyone I am associated with in the work environment.
Robby Starbuck is a one-man wrecking ball.
On his corporate DEI topic, he’s the most powerful person in America.
Way to go Bobby!
Finally our side has an ACTIVIST!
For those with short memories, Accenture was originally the business consulting arm of Arthur Anderson LLP, which was once one of the the US’s major “white shoe” accounting firms along with Deloitte, PriceWaterhouse, KPMG, etc. Arthur Anderson died in the Enron scandal a little over 20 years ago. Reconstituted as Accenture, this BigIT firm is now headquartered in Dublin, Ireland. One of the features of working in Ireland is that people work for more wages and benefits than outsourcers in India, but for less than in the US—and they speak a reasonable version of English.
