Not that these companies are your friend, but it’s a reminder that not everyone is falling in line
Conservatives claim DEI hurt companies, but the financial sector is competitive and profit driven, so something doesn’t add up
It’s almost like biases and discrimination lead to bad decisions and putting the effort to address them lead to better decisions or something. /S
It’s almost like Trump throwing everything into the shitter isn’t good policy
If you want to look at it cynically, anyone that benefits from DEI would flock to them. It would increase their talent pool drive down new hire wages. Also anyone who supports these measures would think about bringing them business.
I very much believe that the reason the US is the most powerful country that’s ever existed on the planet, by such a wide margin, is because it’s an amalgamation of different ethnicities and cultures, pretty effectively working as one. Among other advantages, it stops you just doing things one way only, and associating only with people exactly like you, until the meta changes under you and you get whooped with no way to recover.
I don’t run a company, but if I did, I would want the same advantage even if it made things a lot less smooth.
Of course, maybe I shouldn’t be referencing “most powerful country” et cetera in the present tense. We can wait a couple years and see what happens.
Taking that cynicism one step further: JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs are both heavily pushing RTO mandates. Altering the optics of their DEI position can make them seem more welcoming to those who would benefit, thereby increasing the size of the pool of replacements for the remote workers they plan to dismiss.
Not that it’s all that much better, but I thought the executive order was for federal government positions (for now). Did I misunderstand?
The executive order is not directly related, yes. This is about conservative pressure campaigns related to companies
