@melissawm from where I stand it looks a lot like a bet on trump winning
@melissawm @arclight Given that DEI teams were bad even at pretending to care, I have a hard time feeling that this is much of a loss in a structural sense
@melissawm this fucking outlet calling DEI initiatives "sometimes controversial" lmao. they're only controversial to one crowd, fellas. that's like saying mixed race dating is "sometimes controversial"
@melissawm all branches have been renamed from master to main so their mission is complete
@melissawm It's to synergize the cost centres and break silos to optimize the KPIs.
@melissawm @graydon It sounds like to Microsoft, DEI is a zero-interest phenomenon: it's only to be done when money is free.
To see it very simplified: So companies are preparing for a Trump autocracy and getting preemptively rid of "woke" topics.
