    No, companies ALWAYS want to reduce labor costs, but normally we hate them for it. With DEI, we’re giving them a way they can make it socially acceptable.

      Who is “we”? I’ve seen far too many folks survive a round of layoffs with a shit eating grin, because they like who got cut.

        Uh, IDK, have you spent any time at all on Lemmy? Every day it’s company X did this horrible thing, company Y did that horrible thing, capitalism bad, corporations evil. Except when it comes to DEI, then suddenly everyone jumps to defend a megacorporation who seemingly literally just had a guy murdered for trying to speak out about quality control issues that may have lead to actual life-threatening accidents because it might be racist.

          You’ve already been slapped down on this. The Boeing mechanical failures had dick-all to do with their DEI policy and everything to do with their McDonald Douglas management style.
