A majority of Americans across nearly all demographic groups said DEI initiatives have made no impact on their personal careers, according to a newly released Harris Poll/Axios Vibes survey.
Why it matters: Republican lawmakers and activists have vilified DEI, a term for diversity, equity and inclusion policies used by employers. Companies have responded by rolling back programs.

- On balance, most demographic groups were more likely to say DEI benefited their career than hindered it.
WFH also increases revenue, yet most companies are doing RTO
RTO is about power and control. People who work from home realize that work is just a part of life. There are pros and cons to both office and home working situations, but corporate mandates are not based on what is best or most efficient. It’s about who chooses their working style.
same with corporations not hiring diverse staffs unless they’re forced. none ofethis is actually about money, the economy, or the price of eggs. it’s all about colonialism, genocide, and hate
Jesus fucking Christ. No. The vast majority of corporate hiring decisions are ultimately made based on subconscious biases held by individual HR employees, DEI initiatives primarily serve to break those biases. Yes, subconscious biases can still be racist and/or sexist or otherwise harmful, but they’re not intentionally harmful, nevermind hateful, colonialist (the fuck?) or genocidal (where on earth did you even get that from?!).
I mean, it’s always about money. It’s just that it’s the big money that the oligarchs make by profiting from colonialism, genocide, and fostering hate. The small money, the money businesses make and spend, the millions in operating costs and profits, that’s not the money that matters.
And that’s exactly the same reason why many companies are ditching DEI
