2 days agoThey’re not real. I’ve worked at multiple places with DEI initiatives. They amount to a yearly training where white people get to vent their bigotry and a position within HR devoted to focusing on more inclusive recruitment tactics.
For the most part we still hired almost exclusively white people.
In reality DEI was just a way for companies to pretend they’re cool places to work and DEI was dropped the moment it started getting backlash.
Pretty much in my experience. I’m sure there were some people who worked with companies to help with DEI initiatives who were doing so in good faith, but ultimately the system doesn’t work in a way that would allow change.
HR departments are naturally responsible for any diversity training and practices, but HR is beholden to the interests of executives and investors who don’t care at all.
That’s why the only reason any inclusive practice is ever adopted is because of regulation or because companies think they can get an edge in marketing.
It just makes chud whining even dumber because if they understood how the businesses they pretend to worship work then they’d know that these practices are just capitalism doing capitalism things, which they claim to support.
