DEI Dies

The great DEI die-off continues:

“True systems-change work associated with DEI programs everywhere are no longer business critical or smart as they were in 2020,” a leader of the team wrote in an email “sent to thousands of employees,” according to the outlet. The email said the DEI team was eliminated because of “changing business needs” as of July 1, the report said. It was unknown how many people had lost their jobs. In 2020, Microsoft pledged to double the number of black leaders in the company by 2025. Undoubtedly, shifting focus away from DEI will hamstring those race-based hiring efforts. Microsoft is not alone. Bloomberg reported that Zoom laid off its DEI staff in February. Meanwhile, Google and Meta made DEI cuts last year, according to CNBC.
