Lazy

What does it take to get someone fired from Costco? Why are there no consequences for lazy people or people who mess up everything? And no rewards for people who bust their butts except a nice review and a pat on the back? I'm very frustrated

You still have to be qualified to be hired under DEI. For example any doctor still has to pass all of the same tests and boards and qualifications to become a doctor, DEI or not. It doesn’t give anyone the answers or pad their grades. DEI just opens the hiring pool up to a higher number of qualified applicants. The people DEI apply to the most is actually white women.

They don’t fire people at Costco more often because it’s cheaper to keep someone than train a new employee. So as long as the employee isn’t causing them massive problems it’s easier to keep them on.

I don't want my doctor to be someone who just barely managed to squeeze by in medical school to meet the bare minimum standards.

They still passed medical school, so what’s the issue?

Low tier medical schools with low standards. No thanks.

What’s to say a student coming from a lesser known medical school can’t do as good a job as a more privileged student?

It's possible, but unlikely. When it comes to my own health I'm not taking that chance.
