In a country with over 40% of its citizens being non-white trying to have an only white male workforce is insane. No qualified minority will want to be a rare worker accused of favoritism for simply existing
Meanwhile in small town of Danville Virginia GOODYEAR TIRE announced the layoffs of 850 workers. These are not DEI program changes, these are US manufacturing jobs.
This shouldn't surprise anyone. These are the same companies whose entire executive board look like the 2% milk display at your local grocery store. They only implemented DEI initiatives for "good" PR. It gives the same kind of optics as when they update their logos to the pride format in June. 🙄
I can’t stand DuckDuckGo, but I’ll be using them for the foreseeable future. Since I have a say at work, that’ll be the default search engine going forward too
So, the CEO of Alphabet and Google is a brown man and yet he is going against diversity initiatives? 🤔🤨
The CEO is Pichai Sundararajan. He is from India.
Here are options. https://proton.me email and duckduckgo. If you really want to affect change, leave Google, Instagram, Facebook and Amazon. These billionaires wouldn't be billionaires if we as consumers don't support them. Put your money where your mouth is.
And that’s why I deleted Google Chrome, Google maps and I’m now using #DuckDuckGo use #Firefox and DuckDuckGo has its own private secure browser! Don’t enable the fascists hit them where it hurts! Downgrade their apps on the App Store and Google play store! Abandoned apps run by fascists!
@searchliaison.bsky.social perhaps it’s time to bring my search queries over to @microsoft.com Bing? And move my calendar and email to Apple? I’ve already stopped shopping at Target and Walmart, switched from Audible to https://Libro.fm so I’m getting pretty good at this.
boycott boycott boycott , if you have a gmail, try proton they will forward your emails from your gmail, if you need that for transitioning, they also have a cloud service you can use that's encrypted. use duckduckgo for your web browser and search engines also encrypted
Google is just wasting their time there. The willingness to embrace diversity doesn't need such initiative when one realizes that people are born equal. Due to diversity hype, its cloud business fails because it spends too much time on gender identity instead of finding chip supplier, for instance.
Democratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.
I'm so tired 😫. Google,you bunch of cowards. Would love to get their ratio of men vs. women, especially in management roles. Then, numbers of minorities vs white males. And to think I thought Google was progressive.
Groveling, bending the knee, kissing the orange ass - all synonyms to this news from Google. Google is a private company, and it doesn't have to abide by the rule that only applies to gov after all. I keep saying "good corporate citizen" is an oxymoron, doesn't exist, regardless of what SCOTUS said.
Sad. Very sad. Google will surely lose both existing and potential new talent. I hope it reconsiders this decision and stands up for all of its current and future employees.
#DontBeEvil meanwhile their targeting AI has soaked Gaza in the blood of Palestinian children. A disgrace to before god / mankind. Stop using google - and if you work at google quit your job! You are fueling human annihilation, for profit.
