    I’d bet that nobody’s record states “DEI HIRE” so they’ll just purge all the women, minorities, and LGBTQ+ employees.

      That’s not what it means. It doesn’t mean people hired party because of DEI. It means people who work in DEI departments or have DEI in their title. So, certain managers, HR people, etc. Not some random worker who may or may not have been hired party for DEI reasons.
