Just got to know that my former employer started DEI initiative in the company.

CEO made 6 men SVP, the day after DEI report was published with scathing reviews on it's culture. The company only has 1200 employees.

She then went ahead to make an announcement about how badly it looked given the optics and how she was committed to "diversity".

This is also largest Canadian payment processor. I can't stop laughing at virtue signalling and lip service.
