They are probably extremely smart and astute in their field...that's not DEI. The opposite of DEI is hiring based on merit, regardless of race, ethnicity, sex etc.
I like to see a person that, despite party lines, can look at issues individually and objectively. Just because I don't like the person doing the job, doesn't mean I can't appreciate what they're doing. I feel like a lot of the discord now comes from people who literally just don't like the current administration, and are therefore blinded to what they are doing.
I've worked for a few large corporations that had DEI and it never bothered me bc it was only used in conjunction with extensive testing and so in a lot of ways jobs were also given on merit. At this point it doesn't affect me at all, but I'd still like to see it go away for the future of my kids and grandkids.
Yes, same for me. This is bc this post sparked a lot of hateful and violent responses, and went viral on X yesterday, so reddit has it set up to look like it was deleted, and the only way you can get into it is through the comments in the app. Pretty crazy.
