I, for one, am shocked that the company founded by GREAT AMERICAN Henry Ford would be against the ideas of things like diversity, equity or inclusion. I know that the PATRIOT Henry Ford would definitely be in favor of those things, but the Jews would never let him tell anyone.
On the bright side, all these companies walking away from DEI policies make the Corporate Equity Index’s lists a lot more useful for folks who want to vote with their wallet.
For a while it felt like having a company’s name on the list was perfunctory, which makes it unremarkable.
Doing the right thing before/after it being popular is remarkable, and worthy of my patronage.
They should set up a list with lagging inclusion to capture companies that are more proactive in pursuing good policy, possibly indicating that they actually believe in it.
I'm sorry that they feel inclined take a step back. I feel this is such a big mistake.
Surely now that conservatives have seen putting pressure on these businesses is effective in getting them to drop Diversity and Inclusion programs, they'll have no further demands.... Right?
Companies left to their own devices will behave like conservatives anyway
The big mistake would be imagining that Ford or other giant corporations ever gave a damn about diversity, equality in the workplace, etc.
So doesn’t this mean that all this DEI initiatives were corporate pandering and not a conspiracy by “the radical left” who hate freedom and want to implement “Marxism”??? Cause that’s what conservatives have been saying all this time.
Of course it was all corporate pandering, but conservatives don't even want that. Pandering means acknowledging minorities exist and God's Own Party wants minorities to feel excluded, so they can be better exploited.
I do believe the thread owner was engaging in a spot of sarcasm, my good person.
DEI stands for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
It's the latest anti-sjw boogeyman
I'm surprised SJW has disappeared from the nomenclature. It would be a lot more relevant now than it was back in its day.
People have caught onto what they really mean by "anti-sjw", so they've moved onto the next buzzword. And then the next, and the next.
Whatever it takes to keep their plausible deniability in front of the media that they aren't simply racist. Gotta keep that mainstream appeal.
It doesn't matter who you hire when you are just going to lay them off and beg the government for money anyway.
Ah another company admitting to only starting their program to avoid lawsuits. It's not too surprising because many companies didn't really commit to whatever program they claimed to start.
There isn't the same level of pressure to commit to DEI as their is to stop it, and those supporting the latter position are probably seen as likely Ford customers.
I'm sure cutting investment in any program also saves them money, which has to be seen as a benefit too.
