Microsoft just fired its DEI team.

What’s amazing is this quote from one of their team leads:

True systems-change work associated with DEI programs everywhere are no longer business critical or smart as they were in 2020.

Basically, this was all just performative.

Report: Microsoft shuts down DEI team, ex-lead claims similar programs at risk

Diversity and inclusion initiatives could be facing the axe with large-scale conservative policy potentially on the horizon.

@atomicpoet I think it's clear that expensive business leadership doesn't understand what employees are for or how to attract talent, they want to replace reasoning with LLMs and hire the rest based on discredited race/gender ideology rather than being a place the best want to work.
