Corporations are finding that DEI undermines productivity and sows division in the workforce. Major companies are putting an end to DEI initiatives. Microsoft lays off its DEI team as fired staff complain diversity ideals were 'no longer business-critical' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13640823/microsoft-lays-dei-team-mass-business-email.html
Business Critical? Without reading that paper, how exactly does a policy that's racist and sexist towards white males, become business critical in the first place?
Nothing runs (from diversity) like a Deere. In the meantime John Deere is firing those white guys in the U.S. and giving their jobs to the brown guys in Mexico. Leaping like a deer across the border. John Deere drops diversity initiatives, pledges to no longer join 'social or cultural awareness parades' https://finance.yahoo.com/news/john-deere-drops-diversity-initiatives-185617016.html
There was a boycott a while back on Deere for this craziness. Haven't paid much attention since. Obviously, they didn't even pay attention to who their own clients were. But that would take common sense, something that doesn't apply to woke.

Every white male needs to file lawsuits on wokester orgs like this. Otherwise, they will continue to be persecuted and it won't just stay as a fad.
Interesting story about a high-performing employee who is actually one of the most inclusive being fired on fabricated grounds because he was white and the company wanted more diversity. Additionally his boss regularly sexually harassed him. Catholic Scores Victory Against Google After Company Fired Him For Not Being ‘Inclusive’ https://dailycaller.com/2024/07/30/ryan-olohan-google-lawsuit-settlement-discrimination/
From the article He was accused of being an ABLEIST because he showed favoritism towards high performers Former Google executive Ryan Olohan obtained a settlement with the tech giant last week after the company fired him for allegedly not being “inclusive.” Prior to his termination, Olohan was Google’s managing director of food, beverage, and restaurants. Google’s Employee Investigations team explained Olohan was not inclusive because he “show[ed] favoritism towards high performers” and remarked on the “walking pace and hustle” of employees, which the company referred to as “ableist.”

I was fired from IBM because I'm a white man - how diversity targets ruined my career https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...employee-diversity-targets-white-man-DEI.html Randall Dill of Michigan says he was fired to make way for diversity hires Jay Zook and other bosses had to sack white men staff to get bigger bonuses READ MORE: IBM's Red Hat SUED over culling 21 white men employees The way Randall Dill tells it, he was a 'model employee' for IBM, nurturing relationships with the Pentagon and other big spenders. Then came the diversity targets, and the Michigander was kicked out of the computing giant so it could hire more women and minorities, he says. Worse still — says a lawsuit filed with a Michigan US District Court on Wednesday — Dill's bosses didn't tell him straight why he was being axed. Instead, they said he wasn't bringing in enough business — even though that was never his job, the suit says. In reality, the papers say, the managers wanted to bump up their bonuses by culling white and Asian male staff and recruit more women and other minorities. In doing so, IBM violated the 1964 Civil Rights Act, said Dill's lawyer, Gene Hamilton, a director at America First Legal (AFL). Hamilton says too many bosses hire and fire nowadays based on 'immutable characteristics that individual Americans cannot control.' 'No one should be discriminated against based on their race or sex, and we are committed to vindicating our client's rights in court,' he says. The $135 billion company, which is headquartered in Armonk, New York, says the lawsuit is 'baseless.' The case spotlights corporate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies in action. Advocates of DEI say it helps get more women and minorities into jobs and colleges. Critics say it too often denies opportunities to straight white men, even when they're better candidates. Dill started with IBM in October 2016 as a senior managing consultant, serving the US Army and other long-term clients from his home in Muskegon, on the scenic Lake Michigan shoreline. He repeatedly scored high in performance reviews and won praise at monthly meetings, says the 18-page complaint. But in July 2023, Dill's boss Jay Zook told him he was 'not bringing in the work' and put him on a performance improvement plan (PIP), it is claimed. That was a shocker, as Dill had only helped existing IBM clients — never brought in new business. Still, he tried to land a contract for the firm. But when he asked for support, Zook told him: 'You are on your own,' the suit says. He was sacked in October 2023. Dill says the performance plan was really a 'pretext to force him out of the company,' which had launched DEI-hiring quotas the previous year. The lawsuit refers to DEI targets spelled out in IBM's corporate filings. Weeks after Dill was fired, a video was released showing IBM's CEO Arvind Krishna revealing how managers were under pressure to meet DEI hiring quotas. 'All executives in the company have to move forward by 1 percent on both underrepresented minorities … and gender,' Krishna said. 'That leads to a plus on [their] bonus. By the way, if you lose, you lose part of your bonus.' Krishna said hiring chiefs needed to get more women, blacks, and Hispanics into the company to get their bonuses. There were already enough white and Asian men on board, he added, in the unearthed video from 2021. A whistleblower leaked the clip to 'guerilla journalist' James O'Keefe. Tech boss Elon Musk at the time posted that IBM's quotas were: 'Extremely concerning and obviously illegal.' The lawsuit says the performance plans were a way for IBM bosses to 'quickly and cheaply' ditch white men employees like Dill, so Zook and others could land bigger bonuses. 'The quota system is tied to bonus compensation in such a way that it incentivized impermissible racial discrimination and disincentivizes refusal to engage in such discrimination,' says the suit. Dill seeks back-pay and compensation for the 'mental anguish' and 'humiliation' he's endured, and his legal costs paid. An IBM spokesperson told The Mail that 'these allegations are baseless.' 'Neither race nor gender played any role in the decision to end this individual’s employment with IBM,' she said. 'Discrimination of any kind has absolutely no place at IBM, we do not use hiring quotas and never have.' It's the second suit AFL, a conservative legal action group, has launched against the computing and research giant. A former sales chief in May sued IBM's Red Hat for being sacked alongside 20 other white men during the software subsidiary's aggressive DEI push. Allan Kingsley Wood, a white man, says he faced race and gender discrimination because of the company's hiring targets for women and minorities. The suits are part of growing number of legal filings against DEI practices since the US Supreme Court's landmark June 2023 ruling to end affirmative action in college admissions. AFL has filed more than 30 complaints to the EEOC, a top US civil rights agency. Lawsuits have claimed that hiring and recruitment decisions made around both jobs and fellowships at large companies are biased against white workers. Advocates of DEI schemes say they bring more black, brown, female, and queer talent into offices and colleges and raise morale across the board. But critics say they're a 'woke' virtue-signaling exercise that fosters backlash discrimination against straight, white men.
