Thread regarding Lumen Technologies layoffs

Microsoft lays off diversity and inclusion team

Microsoft has concluded diversity is “no longer business critical” and has laid off staff working on inclusion initiatives, a former employee has claimed.
The technology company has disbanded a team working on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies because of “changing business needs”, according to the former Microsoft team leader.
In an email sent to Microsoft employees and seen by Business Insider, the company manager said: “True systems-change work associated with DEI programs everywhere are no longer business critical or smart as they were in 2020.”

Maybe Microsoft Lite will follow suit.

Wow, the deplorables are out in full force for this one...

They always are. Their only skill in life is to be perpetually outraged online with a single personality trait of politics. No wonder why their family hates them and their children won't talk to them.

DEI and the Woke craaap is being flushed down the toilet everywhere. Microsoft, Tractor Supply, Harley Davidson, Target, the list goes on and on and on. If a company wants to go broke, just run a Woke DEI program and see how fast you can stop revenue.

DEI can only be pushed so far. We need to focus on becoming profitable and spending $$ on systems and produs that will turn this ship around. We should already be showing all coworkers respect and professional treatment. If someone is not doing that then they need to be spoken to by HR or their manager. We all need to treated as adults and not be told how we are to think.

“Who cares? Another lame post.“

Guessing this comment is not from an employee, otherwise you would recognize the value.

Because in 2025 these woke businesses will have to change their ways. They won’t have a choice and they know it.
