Will this is the straw that breaks the DEI camel's back?

Bloomberg reports that Boeing just became the latest big corporate entity to abandon the DEI debacle amid growing pressures to perform and be woke.

Anti-DEI activist Robby Starbuck, who claims credit for convincing Toyota and Harley-Davidson to scale back DEI, said he had reached out to Ortberg and board chair Steve Mollenkopf by e-mail earlier this month to alert them he was considering an online campaign against their diversity programs.

Bloomberg reports that the planemaker has dismantled its global diversity, equity and inclusion department, making it the latest high-profile corporation to make changes to its DEI policy as its new top leader oversees a broader revamp of the company’s workforce.

Staff from Boeing’s DEI office will be combined with another human resources team focused on talent and employee experience, according to people familiar with the matter.

And you'll never guess what approach the new CEO is taking - "merit-based" performance appraisal.

“Boeing remains committed to recruiting and retaining top talent and creating an inclusive work environment where every teammate around the world can perform at their best while supporting the company’s mission,” the planemaker said in a statement.

The company added that it prohibits discriminatory hiring practices and maintains “a merit-based performance system with procedures aimed at encouraging an equality of opportunity, not of outcomes.”

Boeing had promised to increase opportunities for under-represented workers, including Black employees, in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death in 2020.

As part of that effort, the company pledged to increase overall Black employment by 20% by 2025.

Boeing was already closing in on that goal last year, as Black employment rose to 7.5% in 2023 - a 17% increase, according to data reported to the US federal government.

Sara Liang Bowen, a Boeing vice president who led the now-defunct department, left the company on Thursday.

“The team achieved so much — sometimes imperfectly, never easily — and dreamed of doing much more still,” Bowen wrote in a farewell post on LinkedIn.

My company is requiring me to watch a DEI video for training. I'm quite busy but I will watch it next week to have some laughs.

I just skip past the videos or put the player on silent while it plays. When the quiz portion finally appears, I use ChatGPT to answer the questions.

There's a lot of money to be made in the racism/DEI industry, hence why it's so widespread.

I just want to get off my chest I hate working with Asians or dealing with Asian employees when I am a customer. They behave like robots and have zero understanding of customer service and have no initiative. The only Asians who are somewhat civilized are the Japanese. Also Asian managers are very authoritarian and power hungry and turn in any workplace into a depressing hellhole.

Australia is being flooded with masses of Chinese, Indians, etc and is slowly turning into a third world hellhole.

By Asians does that include Indians and other brown people?

This is extremely harmful. If you have a DEI beuarcrat or DEI HR person or DEI middle manager it doesn't matter so much because their job is meaningless anyway and produces nothing of value. But DEI doctors and DEI engineers will literally kill people with their mistakes.

75% is too little.

100% of those spots should go to dei applicants. the madness will go on as long as enough people are kept dumb, fat and happy. the sooner the system breaks down the better
 
The best case scenario is that we get a few million fobby panjeet nerds. The real concern is that we get a few million call center workers that don’t know how to work at all. These are the guys that end up taking municipal jobs like meter maids and get to the front of the li e for other easy jobs, then they do all of these jobs poorly and they keep sending in more. And it never ends. I guess my scenario really isn’t that different than your army of panjeet nerds, except the Indian army I envision is even more useless

The money is incidental. The primary purpose is control. Some industries now require DEI “training” to retain accreditation with the state or they’ll pull your license .
 
"Mike Shaw, who until recently served as the Oregon Department of Forestry’s second-in-command, was put on blast by Megan Donecker, the department’s former DEI strategy officer, for looking “beyond gender and identity in hiring, seeking only candidates most qualified for the job..."

This seems to be real. It's interesting because the story and the two main people involved seem almost AI generated to enrage people like us. Both the obese, purple-haired "DEI strategy officer" and the square-jawed Chad director who she managed to get fired for daring to prioritize hiring qualified people seem almost too "on the nose" to be real. Purple hair's picture speaks for itself, but what are the odds that director Chad doesn't eat a lot of red meat, lift weights regularly, and have several beautiful children with his thin, attractive wife. I'd say close to zero.
