DEI is all about making money by using resources that being racist and dumb leaves on the table. The moment it becomes too expensive DEI won't fix it.
Id rather have DEI than not have it, but DEI is for company profit, any other benefits are secondary.
I mean it sounds like DEI is about using the best talent available. Instead of narrowing your options. So DEI will become too expensive when the playing field is even.
Yes, that is my problem with it. DEI is about finding the best talent at the cheapest price point. This means if a man and a woman can do the same job. They will have them both do the same job but will not pay the women as much as the man.
This is better than keeping the woman as a secretary instead of an engineer, but it isn't helping anyone, it's just underpaying women and other minorities.
It's a capitalist system. Everything a company does is about its bottom line. Especially a publicly-traded company, which has no legal choice in the matter.
DEI has a branding problem. Should have called it IED.
C-IED here. What's the emergency?
IED?
Improvised Explosive Device
No it isnt... it's just a quota. If you have sources showing the financial gains aquired through DEI implementation, please share

Well... do you have 3 more sources? Preferrably of the "angry, ranty, conservative dipshit" variety?
It really is amazing to see people not understand the concept that when you get people from a diversity of cultures and backgrounds in your country, it brings in new and good ideas that hadn't been considered before due to the very lack of that diversity.
I work in a DEI company, there is no quota. They just want to higher cheap immigrant labor where they can get away with it and make their minority and women workers more productive by making them feel like they are cared for.
Why would a company voluntarily do something that would make it unpopular and lose money?
It's not just a quota, and the post above yours is also wrong, but honestly I don't have the energy to argue.
I'm sure the one above is actually right in some companies and wrong and others.
People shouldn't make blanket statements about all companies.
Good companies pay by position and don't underpay women in minorities.
That said the person who made the statement probably works in a company where that is the case.
The problem with DEI is that most discriminatory practices are not on purpose. People don't underpay women because they are women per se. But because of invisible biases (e.g. holding women to higher expectations). And DEI tries to identify those issues and course correct. For example, one thing my company changed was how we write job offers to be more attractive to all, not just the typical male tech nerd.
