That some orgs overhired is not in question. What is _insane_ to me is that everyone being let go seems to be an engineer, while the DEI teams remain untouched.

That some orgs overhired is not in question. What is _insane_ to me is that everyone being let go seems to be an engineer, while the DEI teams remain untouched. That section of the office sure seems to have a lot of free time, between shaming the rest of the company.
Shows the power hierarchy I suppose. Wild world.
- vgatherps 4y agoEngineers are probably a lot more expensive than a DEI employee
- throwayyy479087 4y agoProbably a little more useful though, even on a per-dollar basis

- UncleMeat 4y agoIt'd be socially unacceptable for me to criticize participants in the special olympics, but I'm pretty sure that they don't control me. That quote is from a neonazi who wanted to argue that jewish people secretly controlled the world because antisemitism is no longer socially acceptable in most circles.
- browningstreet 4y agoTo be fair, those teams are usually not very big nor paid on the same level as engineers. And, these companies with layoffs still have massive headcounts and cultures to manage. Whether you like/agree with the DEI initiatives or not… much of the company will keep doing what they are mandated to do.
- kube-system 4y agoI literally just saw a DEI employee post in my LinkedIn feed about being laid off in one of these recent rounds. > everyone being let go seems to be an engineer An article about the most recent Amazon layoffs says "Amazon’s human resources and stores divisions are likely to be among the organizations most severely impacted by the job cuts."
