america is black&white - there is just never gray. affirmative action, dei… all these programs come from “a good place” so-to-speak but america is not capable of making a sensible policy. blame the two-party system who knows nothing more than to kill whatever policies other side puts in place. so each side goes overboard as it knows every policy has a shelf-life. some longer than others but eventually they all die.
and to answer your question, I think these policies were supposed to be impactful for us as society more so than for companies…
- llamaimperative 2y agoWhat government policies compelled companies to create DEI programs?
- 2muchcoffeeman 2y agoFair. It’s probably companies that went above and beyond with their own programs. But the people in charge are either too ideological or manipulative.

- unclebucknasty 2y ago>I think these policies were supposed to be impactful for us as society more so than for companies Well, I believe the idea was two-fold, but it would depend on who you ask. Certainly the societal benefit was a consideration. But there are also those who do genuinely believe that DEI is good for a company. A third consideration is the PR angle. That is, I don't think it's overly cynical to say that PR was a primary driver for some of these companies, especially given the moment. And that's really what I'm asking: how much actual work was done? How much real change was there versus the headlines?
