DEI or DIE ! Numbers Slashed as Tech Firms Wake to Woke

 

Twins are divided. One wanted an easy job that required no brain-power. The other discovered that a sense of humor was still valuable albeit rare.

Tech Firms Slash Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Dept’s To The Bones, Surprising No One

"Big Tech layoffs are hitting the short-lived, so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion” industry hard in 2023, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.

Twitter’s DEI team is down from 30 to just two people, one former employee told Bloomberg. Another DEI employee at a rideshare company was let go and has been unable to find new employment, claiming the industry is stalled as technology companies deal with ongoing financial issues and giant cuts to their workforces.

Listings for DEI jobs dropped some 19% in 2022, a larger hit than than (sic) other legal and human resource jobs, Bloomberg noted. While other jobs in Big Tech firms, like software engineering and data science, saw larger declines, DEI is a close third."
