Where I work is pretty woke still, I don’t know why someone cares much about what their workmates are or want to be
No corporation is pro-working class.
That being said, some are certainly worse than others.
I will forever remain a loyal Costco member if they keep up their pro-consumer practices, including keeping their DEI programs.
I will never ever set foot in a Target again when they completely abandoned their commitment to DEI.
The correct saying is, "Go Fash, Lose Cash."
Apple absolutely shouldn't be in this list. They are basically working for ICE at this point.
The correct saying is, “Go Fash, Lose Cash.”
Tongue-twisters don't generally make great slogans
That's not a tongue twister, it's a rhyme.
It's only four syllables, FFS.
Its is weird because I know people who work are target and a few who have been there for going on 30 years and their stories tend to be positive and describe a very inclusive environment. I mean compared to other companies in that market...
For decades, Target was a fairly progressive and forward thinking company (by big company standards). That was why it was such a kick in the dick when Target dropped DEI.
The whole situation was kind of weird since the CEO, Brian Cornell, who had been a vocal supporter of DEI and Target was wildly successful with him at the helm, seemed to lament the decision to end DEI... so who made that choice? The leader who pushed DEI and made us profitable was somehow overruled and it cost the company a shitload of money so now the CEO has to be replaced. What? What the fuck is going on a Target HQ?
Target created a surveilance system to track the minority population around their stores in Minneoplis so they could coordinate with law enforcement to suppress the "criminal element" in the city. They have an entire side-business that provides surveilance and forensic support to law enforcement all over the country.
It was all bullshit the entire time, the public lamentation over the decision is kayfabe. Target never actually supported anything except making more money, as soon as they thought they could make money being against DEI they jumped ship. It was just a very effective marketing campaign where they faked support because it benefited them financially.
Target is one of the most DELIBERATELY evil retail corporations on earth. They have an entire surveilance and forensic side business developed specifically to coordinate with law enforcement throughout the community, not just inside their stores.

I feel like that’s the case for a lot of them. The top level are publicly saying they are scrapping policies, but it’s still actually being observed in the lower levels. Like there’s a gap between what the executives are saying and what the actual people managing the company are doing.
Fujitsu America actually doubled down on DEI stuff after Trump was elected.
A culture and attitude of inclusion seems to be more important than any policy could be?
Lmao the same Apple that sucked up to the Trump admin?
