COLE AND DANHOF: Chipotle Makes DEI Move Rife With Negative Consequences​

Chipotle shareholders in June again voted on pay packages that rewarded executives for meeting DEI goals. But this year, there was a change: following efforts to convince companies to drop the practice, Chipotle switched from rewarding leadership for increasing workforce diversity to rewarding them for reducing turnover of existing minority workers. This may sound like a step towards ending discriminatory employment practices, but it’s actually a big step back.

The goal, in Chipotle’s own words, is to “improve the retention rate of our diverse employee workforce relative to those who are non-diverse.” Note the word “relative.” Chipotle doesn’t simply want to keep minorities around longer; it wants to keep them there longer than their non-minority counterparts.

Yea I actually don’t have a problem with this.

Private Business should be able to choose who they do business with.
If Chipotle, and Novant, and others want to hire and fire based on skin color - then I say let them.

But it has to swing both ways.
If you can fire all the White guys, you can fire all the Black guys too.

You Can’t Fire Only the White Guys​

Juries get called once corporate diversity turns to discrimination.​

We hired a black receptionist many years ago in Bham, one of very few blacks in a Fortune 150 company, at least our division. She started out fine and then after some time started slacking. They fired her, she sued and got a good amount. Turns out she did this many times at other companies. Not sure how she wasnt vetted.

Anyhoo, moral of the story, the crap ruins it for everyone.

Expecting people to be on time is part of ‘white supremacy culture,’ Duke Medical School claims​

Duke Medical School claims it is “white supremacy culture” to expect people of color to be on time in a strategic plan for creating an “anti-racist workforce.”

The medical school said its goal is to “catalyze anti-racist practice through education” in a 2021 plan titled “Dismantling Racism and Advancing Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the School of Medicine.” The guide — praised by the school’s dean — called out what it deemed “white supremacy culture,” with its purported nitpicking about being on time, dress code, speech and work style. It also contains a series of negative terminology vis-à-vis white culture.

These are very unserious people (seriousness is probably a construct too though).

An article from the UCLA Law Review, published in 2023, calls professionalism a “racial construct.”

“It is that the standard itself is based on a set of beliefs grounded in racial subordination and white supremacy. Through this analysis, professionalism is revealed to be a racial construct,” the article said.

And in 2020, the National Museum for African American History and Culture explained how whiteness was linked to “delayed gratification; “Objective, rational linear thinking;” “cause and effect relationships;” and “decision-making.”

Any policy that is created to foster advantage to anyone based solely on the color of their skin is a racist policy, period. We are (or at least were) a meritocracy. Hires should be based solely on qualifications, regardless of skin color, gender, sexual preference, etc.

When has the US been a true meritocracy for all? What years?

There's never been a "true meritocracy" anywhere but that should be the goal.

Yep…. This type person will do a good job, get a good review and then immediately slack off. Then when they’re terminated six weeks later they have the recent review to use as leverage

What's a shame is that people that (not race but lazy) are that smart will never take full advantage of their talents because they don't put in the effort. I can only guess had she put in any real effort she'd have been promoted.

“A network spokesperson first claimed the Race and Equality team was not disbanded before admitting to [reporter Phil] Lewis that it will no longer exist as a mission-oriented unit,” the New York Post reports.

Then CNN eventually admitted to Lewis that “the team is not a team anymore. They’re assigned to different areas so that [their] perspective and work is brought into all of our types of programming. It’s not a unit in the way it was before,” CNN added, “but [race and equality] is very much still their focus.”

It’s not that DEI is “no longer” mission critical. DEI was never mission critical to begin with.

I've seen a number of companies reversing their DEI mandates recently.

I'm wondering if there's been an uptick in lawsuits from employees claiming race was a factor in their firing or pass over for advancement. If a company with a DEI mandates and task force would they be more vulnerable to lawsuits like these?

Just trying to work out what may be behind these reversals recently.

 

[ButchPlz]

It’s not that DEI is “no longer” mission critical. DEI was never mission critical to begin with.

I actually want to see a company whose entire mission is nothing but hiring "diverse" people (i.e., non-whites). No sales, no product, nothing. Just paying people to be "diverse".

Insider details of why Secret Service botched Trump shooting

It was a grey, drizzly Monday on March 30, 1981, when President Reagan emerged from the Washington Hilton hotel, heading back to his presidential limousine parked a few yards away.

DEI Is Transitioning to Die​

The attempted assassination of President Trump highlights the failures of DEI under pressure.

The extraordinary pictures that came out of Butler, Pennsylvania, will become a part of American history. Donald Trump’s raised fist, his bloodied face, his calls to fight. These will become a part of American lore along with Teddy Roosevelt continuing his speech after being shot. On the one hand, President Trump benefited from the diminutive female Secret Service agent immediately in front of him as we could see his face, he could communicate to the crowd, and he could show his resolve in the face of a nearly-successful attempt on his life. On the other hand, unless her job is to protect Donald Trump’s tie, she is unqualified for her work.​
