The problem is that companies are being bullied by right-wing fanatics who are misrepresenting the whole DEI initiative. They paint DEI the same way they portray immigration -- "They're coming here to take your jobs, marry your daughters, and rape your wives." The conversation on DEI needs to be reframed to let people know it isn't about making minority employees "more equal" than whites, but in making sure those minority individuals who do apply for employment are treated equally and have a fair opportunity for success. Granted, some DEI programs have gone "over and beyond" in their attempt to cater to every possible "diversity" to the point of lunacy, but the overall concept of DEI is not only appropriate but essential.

I have dealt with that Ford DEI department in the past, and they were never empowered, nor ever cared, about BIPOC diversity beyond having bare minimum initiatives to put into press releases and annual reports.

I do however think a lot of white women will be affected by this, as they as individuals and businesses were the main beneficiaries of Ford’s DEI initiatives.

This is the most interesting take I’ve seen on the DEI issue. White women have benefited the most from this haven’t they.

DEI work was always just wasting time. I don’t know any minorities just the marketing side of the biz who got anything other than a couple of coins around BHM tossed their way by any brand. Small one-off projects given begrudgingly were the norm.

DEI was always most companies talking big but not doing a thing to increase diversity efforts. Good riddance (and I’m a POC).

The companies that are pushing against DEI work need to be held accountable by us keeping our dollars out of their pockets

I was accosted last night at the bar when some guy overheard me telling my date I worked at Apple. Lots of expletives and "go back to where you're from" rhetoric. Do people really feel this way? So far, everyone I've met has been so welcoming.

I'm a Canadian on the TN visa working in the US and planning on maxing my Roth IRA (6k) and will have enough left to max my 401k this year, but am not sure if I should just use a taxable account over 401k due to tax considerations when I move back to Canada (likely 1-2 years from now). Any thoughts here? I don't think I'll have enough RRSP room to move 401k>IRA>RRSP and I would prefer to not have to file US taxes every year in retirement for withdrawls if I left the 401k in the US.

I am SO confused. I thought conservatives were against blocking roads as an acceptable means to protesting? And were creating laws to outlaw it and limiting liability in hitting protestors? And wanted to open the country up, and now they want to clog up travel and the supply chain? Make up your mind.
