Lowe’s is difficult as Home Depot is way worse. Like yeah they didn’t roll back DEI but likely because they didn’t have any to begin with and are a huge Trump supportet
I work at Lowe’s, and here in the Deepest South, we have a wildly diverse staff. Black, gay, Hispanic, kids on their first job, old folks staying busy, all kinds. They do seem to lean heavily on hiring vets, but that falls under DEI.

I should note: Our CEO is black. Don’t know anything about the guy, but I do like listening to him talk. I don’t get any sense of BS or fake corpo talk. Only been there 2 months but I’m a little taken aback by the lack of corporate BS. LOL, it ain’t exactly heaven, but better than expected.
The retailer also will no longer participate in an annual survey by the Human Rights Campaign that measures workplace inclusion for LGBTQ+ employees, and will also stop sponsoring and participating in events, such as festivals and parades, that are outside of its business areas.
I don’t have a problem with this. Aren’t we always bitching about rainbow capitalism? I’d rather a company drop it than fake it.
Plus their products are garbage. I had curtain rods from them such that the metal snapped without even significant strain. Had to replace after two years, was a huge waste of time and money, although these umbra brand it’s are so much better.
John Deere had a 98.1% “yes” on a shareholder vote to reinstate DEI.
But fuck them anyway, they are hardcore against Right to Repair laws. Massey Ferguson is better anyway.
Yeah they didn’t end dei. They just stopped supporting “controversial” events, like pride parades and such. Still deserves to be up there. Though I’m not in the market for a million dollar tractor, either.
Wow. It’s always the companies you most suspect huh?
He put Ford twice lol
The one is just a guy named Ford, we should boycott him.
At this point, it’s just better to boycott all large or for profit companies by default.
It’s hard, boss.
Add Paramount to that list and lots of TV networks
So I used to shop at Target as a way to boycott Walmart…. Any suggestions now that they both suck?
I canceled my Target card and told them it was because of this bullshit. And yeah Walmart’s been on my list for a long time. Running out of places to shop.
Between Target and my local grocery doing anti-union bullshit, I just started shopping at Costco even though I’m only shopping for 1. So far so good, other than the whole “guess this is what I’m eating for the next 15 meals straight”. But I’m lucky to even have a Costco very close by.
We do what we can, but some people just don’t have a lot of options realistically.
Farmers markets when in season. Canned for the winter from Costco. Grow your own if you can.
Part of me wants to start shopping at Walmart because at least they’re unabashedly evil?
Find your local stores and support them as hard as you can.
Im already boycotting most of those companies for being American.
What’s the difference between Ford and Ford Motor Company?
Motor Company
At what length do shorts become pants?
tbf Accenture implemented Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion the same way they handle their consulting gigs; a sales person made a bunch of shit up, some juniors with no experience were thrown into meetings, and someone made something up that was very far from anything anyone asked for (which is why they needed the feedback) so it wasn’t a huge loss.
