It's partially due IMO to people wanting "more" from corporations, which I don't really understand. It's a corporation. It exists to make money for shareholders, and DEI is, at best, marketing. If it has a noticeable positive impact on making money, great. If it doesn't, why are folks so indignant when a corporation says "we're here to make money"? I don't want companies in my stock portfolio spending tons of money without return to placate a few people who really don't generate a congruent amount of money for the corporation. If you work at a corporation that ditched DEI and are indignant, put your money where your mouth is and just fucking donate to causes that really address societal inequality. Or, work at a company that will match any donation you make to a registered 501c3 charity. I have a buddy that works at Goldman Sachs and know for a fact that any time he makes a donation under a certain $$ limit, Goldman matches it dollar-for-dollar. He's donated to a lot of great charities and Goldman has been all too happy to follow his donation. Doctors without Borders, Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, no-kill animal rescue shelters, soup kitchens, etc - all great causes. I spent a few months in early 2022 working at a company that had recently hired a DEI team. That team told me my team needed more diversity...which was odd, because my team consisted of me (a WASP, albeit one on the ADHD/Autism spectrum), a young jewish dude from the midwest fresh out of college, a mid-30s jewish guy, an older gay Bahamian guy, 2 hispanic females, a hispanic male, an Egyptian muslim guy and an older gentleman from Boston who was of Irish descent. What were we missing?
