Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, January 10, 2025

Meta -- the parent company of Facebook and Instagram -- confirmed on Friday that it plans to end some of its DEI policies. The social media giant said it would eliminate a team devoted to DEI and cancel its equity and inclusion programs. Chief Diversity Officer Maxine Williams will shift to a new role, Meta said. The company will also stop an effort to work with third-party suppliers that are diverse-owned, Meta said, adding that it would roll back a "diverse slate" hiring program that ensured a diverse range of candidates was considered for each open role. Still, Meta emphasized the importance of making products accessible for all consumers and employing a multi-talented workforce. The move follows an announcement from McDonald's earlier this week that the company would end a few initiatives centered on diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI.

Jus' sayin'.

... Amazon

said it is halting some of its diversity and inclusion initiatives, joining a growing list of major corporations that have made similar moves in the face of increasing public and legal scrutiny.

In a Dec. 16 internal note to staffers that was obtained by CNBC, Candi Castleberry, Amazon's VP of inclusive experiences and technology, said the company was in the process of "winding down outdated programs and materials" as part of a broader review of hundreds of initiatives.

"Rather than have individual groups build programs, we are focusing on programs with proven outcomes " and we also aim to foster a more truly inclusive culture," Castleberry wrote in the note, which was first reported by Bloomberg.

Castleberry's memo doesn't say which programs the company is dropping as a result of its review. The company typically releases annual data on the racial and gender makeup of its workforce, and it also operates Black, LGBTQ+, indigenous and veteran employee resource groups, among others. ...
