Hey, I think there are a few things in your argument that might be worth clarifying or reconsidering.

First, the claim that DEI initiatives would lead to "cannibals and pedophiles populating cubeland" is a pretty extreme straw man. No one is advocating for harmful or illegal behavior under the guise of diversity or inclusion. DEI is about addressing systemic inequities and ensuring fair opportunities for people from all backgrounds not promoting criminal or harmful acts. Equating DEI with such extremes distracts from the actual goals of these initiatives.

Next, you ask why someone who supports social justice isn’t "performing social work with the oppressed." This feels like a false dilemma. Supporting DEI in the workplace doesn’t mean someone can’t also engage in social work or activism outside of their job. People can care about systemic issues and contribute to solving them in multiple ways: through their careers, volunteer work, or advocacy. It’s not an either/or situation.

You also say, "It’s a business, not a charity," which is true, but that’s exactly why DEI makes sense. Businesses invest in DEI because it’s good for business. Diverse teams are more innovative, make better decisions, and are more profitable. Ignoring systemic barriers isn’t just a moral issue; it’s a business liability. DEI isn’t about charity—it’s about recognizing that a homogenous workforce limits potential and leaves money on the table.

The mention of "workers controlling the means of production" and the "new Soviet man" pipe dream feels like a red herring. DEI isn’t about socialism or forcing people into roles they’re not suited for. It’s about removing barriers so that people with the skills, abilities, and aptitude can succeed, regardless of their background. No one is saying everyone is interchangeable; just that everyone deserves a fair shot.

Finally, the idea that "not everyone has the skills, ability, or aptitude to do every job" is true, but it’s not really relevant to the DEI conversation. DEI isn’t about putting unqualified people in roles; it’s about ensuring that qualified people aren’t excluded because of biases or systemic barriers. It’s about leveling the playing field, not lowering standards.

I get that DEI can feel like a contentious topic, but misrepresenting its goals or equating it with extreme scenarios doesn’t help anyone. If we’re going to have this conversation, let’s engage with the actual ideas instead of caricatures.

If you were to even believe a quarter of the manure @2wv+1jkf5sfqa was virtue signaling about, you'd have cannibals and pedophiles populating cubeland as they are just underserved minority communities. If you're a SJW, then why aren't your performing social work with the oppressed ? Its a business not a charity. Oh that's right, if the workers control the means of production, you achieve your socialist dream. Another "new soviet man" pipe dream as people are not interchangeable as they would have you believe.. not everyone has the skills, ability or aptitude to do every job.

@ce+1jkf5sfqa

This person called it.

Ah, yes, the classic "DEI is a waste of resources" argument. Always a bold take, if not particularly original. Let’s break this down, shall we?

First, framing DEI as an "industry" that consumes headcount is a bit of a stretch. DEI roles exist because businesses have realized that diversity, equity, and inclusion aren’t just nice-to-haves; they’re critical to solving real-world problems like employee retention, innovation, and market competitiveness. But sure, let’s pretend that ignoring systemic inequities is a better use of resources. That’s definitely never backfired before.

Then there’s the whole "indoctrination symposia" bit. Ah, yes, because ensuring people feel respected and included at work is clearly the same as forcing them to abandon their personal beliefs. Spoiler alert: DEI initiatives aren’t about thought control; they’re about creating environments where people can bring their whole selves to work without fear of discrimination. If that feels like an attack on your worldview, maybe it’s time to ask why.

And let’s not forget the cherry on top: the implication that DEI is just about "social buzzwords." Because, of course, reducing systemic issues to a matter of vocabulary is such a nuanced take. Newsflash: language evolves to reflect the values and needs of society. If you’re more upset about the words people use than the inequities those words describe, you might be missing the point.

Funny enough, DEI isn’t some radical new concept. It’s been around for millennia. Ever heard of Jesus? You know, the guy who hung out with tax collectors, Samaritans, and other societal outcasts? He was kind of a DEI pioneer. Remember the Good Samaritan parable? That was a lesson in breaking down cultural and ethnic barriers to show compassion. Or how about when he said, "Love your neighbor as yourself"? Pretty inclusive stuff. Even the early church had to wrestle with DEI issues. See Peter’s vision in Acts 10, where he’s told not to call anything (or anyone) unclean that God has made clean. Sounds a lot like challenging biases and embracing diversity, doesn’t it?

TL;DR: DEI isn’t the problem. Mischaracterizing it as a waste of resources or a thought-policing scheme is.

There's an essential failure to identify the industry of DEI and the headcount it consumes that could be used to fill actual business needs. Dont need company sponsored indoctrination symposia, mandatory you must think this way, or abandon your personal or regional because the PNW will tell you what's the correct social buzzwords of the day to use.

 @2bt+1jkf5sfqa

There's that enlightened stuff we talked about.

@22r+1jkf5sfqa Fu-k off, mo--n.

Oh, wow. What a truly enlightened take. Let me just grab my popcorn while I unpack this masterpiece of logic.

1. "Inferior people would never get good jobs because they are intellectually inferior."
   Ah, yes, because clearly, the only measure of intelligence is... whatever arbitrary standard you’ve decided to use today. Never mind that DEI exists to combat systemic biases that have historically kept "actually qualified people" from getting opportunities. But sure, let’s pretend it’s about hiring “inferior” people. Totally not a dog whistle or anything.

2. "It doesn’t hurt anyone by hiring an inferior person in a high-paying job."
   Except, you know, the "actual" qualified people who were passed over because of systemic bias before DEI existed. But hey, who cares about fairness when you can just cherry-pick your narrative, right?

3. "As long as you hire some whites at minimum wage to get the real work done."
   Oh, there it is. The mask slips. So now it’s not just about “inferior people” getting jobs - it’s about making sure white people are “in their place” doing the “real work.” Classy. Real classy.

4. "This is a win-win!"
   For whom, exactly? For the people who want to maintain a hierarchy where they’re always on top? For those who think diversity is a threat rather than a strength? Or for the folks who think minimum wage jobs are somehow a punishment? Because from where I’m standing, the only thing winning here is your ability to miss the point entirely.

But hey, thanks for the laugh. It’s always entertaining to see someone so confidently parade their ignorance. Maybe one day you’ll realize that DEI isn’t about “inferior” people or “superior” people - it’s about giving everyone a fair shot. But until then, enjoy your “win-win” fantasy. Just don’t be surprised when the rest of us are busy building a better, more inclusive world without you.

Oh, "DEI - Didn’t Earn It?" What a clever and totally original take. Let me guess, you think DEI initiatives are just a sneaky way to let “lower qualified minorities” steal jobs from “more highly qualified white people”? Bravo. Truly groundbreaking logic. But let’s break this down, shall we?

1. DEI initiatives weren’t created to ensure “lower qualified minorities” get hired over “more highly qualified white people.” They were created to ensure that "lower qualified white people" weren’t being hired over "more highly qualified minorities." Shocking, I know. Turns out, systemic bias is a thing, and DEI tries to level the playing field—not tilt it in the opposite direction.

2. Are you 40 or older? Congratulations! You’re part of a protected class. DEI tries to make sure no one discriminates against you for being “over the hill” or “not tech-savvy enough” or whatever other ageist nonsense gets thrown your way. But hey, if you’d rather not have those protections, by all means, let’s scrap these programs and see how that works out for you.

3. Oh, and let’s not forget—life happens. Maybe you’ll have an accident, develop a medical condition, or have a family member with a disability. Guess what? DEI tries to make sure you or your loved ones aren’t discriminated against for things completely out of your control. But sure, let’s call it “unfair” to protect people from discrimination. Totally makes sense.

4. And hey, are you a veteran trying to re-enter the workforce? Or maybe a military spouse struggling to find stable employment? DEI efforts have made it easier for companies to hire and support you. But no, you’re right—let’s just go back to the good ol’ days when veterans and their families were left to fend for themselves. That’ll solve everything.

So, before you reduce DEI to some lazy “Didn’t Earn It” slogan, maybe take a second to realize it’s about way more than your narrow-minded point of view. It’s about fairness, equity, and making sure everyone - yes, even "you" - has a shot. But hey, if you’d rather live in a world where discrimination runs rampant, be my guest. Just don’t come crying when it bites you in the a-s.

DEI - Didn't Earn It

Time to get rid of the futtbuckers and rug munchers.

Hmm. Wonder how far they go with DEI when the new Republican FCC Chair Brendan Carr focuses his sights on T-Ho-o after he finishes with Comcast?

LOL, some exec, Mike Krapz, said that we're still going on DEI. Or DIE . . .

NO MORE LAZY WFH WHITE GIRLS!

@1b7+1jkf5sfqa

People should be promoted based on competence, skill, and expertise. Not their color of their skin, background, or gender

@OP+1jkf5sfqa, great point! TMUS ”Won’t Stop!” ...reaching new highs. Congrats to all the “Legacy” PCS folks who continue to hold the stock.

Yeah, DEI’s not going anywhere anytime soon. Like, unless we get rid of anti-discrimination laws, which… yeah, not happening. You can tell it’s still a thing just by all the “people strategy” and “belonging” stuff we are still pushing.

I think we’ll probably hear something soon about how we're still committed to it, but we might not talk about it as much out in the open. And if people start complaining too much, we’ll probably just rebrand it or call it something else. Same idea, different name.

How is this related to layoffs? Take your fake outrage and manufactured victimhood to Twitter.

Looking at my watch on the countdown to the moderators removing this thread because it talks about things the moderators don't like to discuss in DEI.

Funding for this site must come from USAID.

Nobody gets promoted for merit at T-Mobile. Promotions are based upon how your lips latch on to the backside of your boss. And if you're an Indian.

The Great Society is 60 years old. The results are terrible. We can't discuss them because that would cut off the money. And that cannot be allowed.
Instead, we get ever-new excuses, such as DEI, to perpetuate the grift and the failure.
The icing on the cake is that these programs insult productive people of all races, and anger and divide everyone.
Prove me wrong, change my mind.

DEI doesn't mean unqualified. Unfortunately in America everyone doesn't get the same chance so we need programs to get qualified candidates in the door or the good Ole boy system would keep great qualified people from getting a chance. White women benefit more than anyone else when it comes to DEI.

DEI is discrimination and is treated as such, it has no place in US business. Merit only and f your pronouns.
