Caterpillar joins list to pull back on some DEI policies

Caterpillar is revamping some of its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies after a conservative activist set his sights on the company. Robby Starbuck on Thursday posted an internal letter to employees on social media site X that told Caterpillar employees any training programs will now be focused on "fostering high performance," and require senior management approval for external speakers. The Fortune 100 company will also introduce new guidelines for external donations and sponsorships. A Caterpillar representative confirmed to news agency Bloomberg that they talked to Starbuck after he reached out about their DEI policies. Caterpillar sent a copy of the memo referenced by Starbuck to WCBU.

The company will also no longer participate in the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index that rates companies on their LGBTQ+ friendliness, though a Caterpillar spokesperson told Bloomberg that decision was actually made before Starbuck threatened to begin campaigning publicly against them.

DEI is not just an unproven benefit but in reality it gives us a politicized society of losers.

The intent of DEI is solely to reward the elites that gave us DEI losers and excuse the political party that made them the losers.

But most of us already know that.

@#1 ... DEI is not just an unproven benefit but in reality it gives us a politicized society of losers. ...

So, your current alias says "in reality."

Please provide the evidence of that reality.

DEI is not just an unproven benefit

The benefits are to Qualified Black Americans and minorities who would have been passed on because they don't look like everyone else in the room.

in reality it gives us a politicized society of losers.

The only politicized losers are the ones crying about immigrants taking their jobs and needing Trump to make America Great Again.

Look in the mirror. Idiot.
