💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes.

Somewhere in this business, this has happened before

I will always be amazed how they hit every ridiculous note of that sequence perfectly

Always nice to see a company have enough people in enough positions of power with enough brain cells to realize that it's not just white men who buy their products, and that they'll lose money if that changes.

tbh we're past the point of calling them biggots, this is nowhere near impactful enough to adjectivize these disgusting individuals.

That's life. One minute you're on top of the world, the next minute some secretary's running you over with a lawn mower.

When that show was on I was working at a company that was owned by McCann Erickson so it was weird to be the bad guys (descendants of bad guys?) in a TV show I watched!

Love that they kept her on after that. God grant me that employment security!

John Deere is a really shitty company who force their customers into horrific service contracts instead of allowing them to repair and maintain their own vehicles, so the fact that even a company of complete assholes is capable of doing the right thing shames the ones who didn't even put up a fight.
