I see a large amount of people no longer supporting companies that are removing their DEI programs. On one hand, I understand that there were many who were very quick to get rid of their programs, but on the other hand, this is something that is being pushed by the president. Do you feel that no longer supporting these companies will actually help or are we only limiting our options of companies that we will continue support.

I support companies that are removing DEI initiatives.

smartfunnylike

You misunderstand what diversity, equity, and inclusion is, which is deeply alarming if you are genuinely human resources.

I have mixed feelings. I was listening to NPR and a woman who owns a Black owned company that makes hair products for Black people pointed out that her products still sell at Target. Boycotting hurts her and other individuals helped by DEI.

That was another thing I was thinking about also. While we can shop for some of the items online directly through these black owned companies, it hurt their storefront sales because they cannot just pull their items from the shelves. There are contracts and other things to worry about 

Yeah, this is a tough one. I totally get why people are frustrated when DEI programs are removed. I think not supporting companies can send a message, but at the same time, it does limit options and potentially hurts small business owners. I try to balance my values with practical needs, but it’s hard when the bigger picture feels so important.

People who say they are no longer supporting companies that are moving or scaling back DEI are customers of one or more Fortune 100 companies. Amazon and JPM are scaling back big time, but Amazon owns the online shopping market because people still want their cheap, Chinese, landfill products delivered to their front door. Don't listen to what people are saying about DEI. Look at what they are really doing. Amazon, Walmart, and Target are the largest retailers in the country with or without DEI.

Hi all,

My boss makes jokes about me being from a different country whenever there is a work meeting or a gathering with coworkers, even though he knows where I am from. This usually occurs when I meet new work-related people or for example if I am in a situation that involves ethnic related subjects.

What is this? This is normal?
