This had to happen 😆
Great start to 2024 !
If you’re gonna be laying off people, you cannot justify spending on these programs in parallel
Even if these programs may be right, they aren’t core to the business
I doubt how many people they hired under these categories. I strongly believe they would have overstated the number here. They are hardcore businessmen. They wouldn't be that foolish to hire people just be in the liberal good books.
More than you can make a wild guess.
It not only happens. It also has a negative impact. People who hired under these policies are taken lightly from day 1. I personally know someone who was told by everyone that she is DEI and hence, not given meaty work.
Through a friend, I’ve heard that the focus on these things has really crossed a line at big tech. It’s too much of a thing, and lots of promos etc happen basis how much you drive DEI as a manager
