Meta and Amazon ax diversity programs ahead of Trump inauguration
Story by Josh Marcus • 5h


Meta Platforms and Amazon are both rolling back diversity and inclusion (DEI) efforts, the latest in a string of major U.S. companies to withdraw from such work ahead of the White House comeback of Donald Trump, who has long railed against “woke” policies and diversity.

Meta plans to end its DEI programs altogether in training, hiring, and picking suppliers, according to an internal memo seen by Axios, citing a “changing” legal and policy landscape.
 
“The Supreme Court of the United States has recently made decisions signaling a shift in how courts will approach DEI … The term ‘DEI’ has also become charged, in part because it is understood by some as a practice that suggests preferential treatment of some groups over others,” Janelle Gale, the company’s vice president of human resources, reportedly wrote.

Not to worry.  They'll find other, more sinister ways to virtue signal. :whistle:

They will find a new name for the repackaged policy and continue.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I saw a tweet on X today from the guy responsible for adding those tampon dispensers in the men's rooms at Meta, complaining his job was axed.  Boo-hoo there, boy.
