Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

It never should have been loud in the first place. Just have them. Do them. It doesn’t even need to be called DEI. These are things that should exist as a norm.

Exactly. And if you want DEI removed, you're gonna have to define it for me. Cause all I hear is "woman and minorities."

[–] FrostyTheDoo@lemmy.world 31 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I like to ask them which letter of DEI they think is the worst one and watch them realize they can't answer without being a bad person.

They don't mind being bad people, they love being loud assholes

Honestly, I feel like most companies didn’t do a big marketing thing about this stuff. If was commenting that pretty much just got promoted on the careers page so applicants knew about the company culture

Also, because HR usually owns the careers page, and DEI teams usually roll in HR

To me if they made a big deal about it, it’s because they weren’t actually making a big deal about it. Where are the metrics?

If I work for a company that has a DEI policy, and I think my manager fired me because they don’t like something about me that falls into that category, there’s not much recourse for that because there is a DEI policy in place so obviously it was my “job performance.”
