Top companies are laying off thousands of diversity-focused workers, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Major companies that have championed diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, like Netflix, Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery, recently announced the exit of high-profile DEI executives, and thousands of employees working in diversity-related positions have been laid off since last year, according to the WSJ. Employee opinions about the importance of DEI and the funding for related initiatives are changing too, with many workers not seeing it as important.
Many businesses rushed to hire chief diversity officers after the death of George Floyd in May 2020, according to the WSJ. Less than half of companies in the S&P 500 had a chief diversity officer position in 2018, but the number increased to three out of four companies having the role by 2022.
Data from Live Data Technologies shows that chief diversity officers are far more likely to be laid off than similar positions in human resources, and they have a 40% higher turnover rate with longer job searches, according to the WSJ.
The DEI scam is collapsing!
There is a massive recession in the DEI industry, WSJ reports. Thousands of “diversity officers” are being laid off. The DEI Stasi say they are “very tired, and in some cases, overwhelmed.”
DEI is getting exposed. Good!https://t.co/WAwwK1Q8tu

Employee attitudes toward DEI are changing, with only 32% of workers finding it “very important” to work at an ethnically diverse place and 38% saying it’s “not too/not at all important,” according to a Pew Research Center survey. In that same study, 26% of people found it “very important” to have an “equal mix of men and women,” while 44% said it was not important.

Republican attorney generals from 13 states sent a letter to all Fortune 100 companies on July 13 calling for the end of discriminatory hiring practices following the Supreme Court decision that ended the use of race-based admissions at universities. The attorneys general claimed that the practice violates both state and federal law.

IMPORTANT NOTE: To their horror, America’s ruling elites failed to knock out Donald Trump during his four years as president via the fabricated Trump-Russia collusion scandal – conceived and funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign, as the Durham report proves – or through two circus-like impeachment trials. Later came “January 6,” a demonstration-turned-riot by Trump supporters who passionately believed, with good reason, that the recent election – and therefore their country – had just been stolen from them. Members of Congress now want to constitutionally bar Trump from again seeking public office for having instigated “an armed insurrection” (no protester was armed) against America.
Then in March, Trump was indicted in New York on 34 counts of falsifying business records, and in June, still more indictments were filed against Trump – 37 federal criminal charges related to his handling of classified documents. Honest legal experts not in league with the Biden administration openly classify these indictments as somewhere between frivolous and idiotic, not to mention grotesquely politically motivated.
The Deep State’s never-ending persecution of Donald Trump, as well as the incredible back story of the totalitarian agenda Trump’s persecutors are attempting to implement in America and why Trump represents a mortal threat to their nefarious designs – is the focus of the blockbuster July issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “THE PERSECUTION OF DONALD TRUMP: Why the ruling elites loathe – and fear – the 45th president.”
