An interesting quirk about diversity roles at corporations

An interesting quirk about diversity roles at corporations - Tom Knighton
"...Diversity, equity and inclusion leaders, who were hired in waves to help companies achieve an ethnically balanced workforce after George Floyd’s murder in 2020, are being phased out...
...Another survey showed that Black employees represent only 3.8% of chief diversity officers overall, with white people making up 76.1% of the roles
...Let’s remember that in 2020, there were literal mobs setting fire to buildings and destroying private property. 
People were attacked and physically beaten during some of these supposedly “mostly peaceful” protests.
  • Now they’re being laid off because, frankly, what do they really bring to the table now? 
  • The fire has gone out of Black Lives Matter to some degree. While they might get vocal, they’re not exactly burning down entire business districts. There’s a lot less risk in pissing them off.
  • And DEI personnel don’t do anything to help make a better/cheaper product. If anything, they help keep bad personnel on and create overhead that doesn’t benefit the bottom line...
