Microsoft has made a notable change in its corporate structure: the major company is dismantling its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) team. A team leader declared the initiatives “no longer needed,” leading to layoffs within the group. The exact number of affected employees remains undisclosed, and the identity of the team leader who sent the email has not been revealed.

“True systems-change work associated with DEI programs everywhere are no longer business critical or smart as they were in 2020,” said an email sent to thousands of employees, obtained by Business Insider. The email stated that the DEI team was eliminated because of “changing business needs” as of July 1.

“Unofficially in my opinion, not specific to Microsoft alone, but [conservative policy plan] Project 2025 looms and true systems change work associated with DEI programs everywhere are no longer business critical or smart as they were in 2020. Hence the purposeful and strategic 3-5 year shelf life of many company’s inclusion commitments post the murder of George Floyd are being reevaluated,” the email explained.

Good for them

I guess DEI is no longer stylish.  Well except for in the USSS.

That’s the difference between the public sector versus the private sector

The public sector doesn’t care about things like efficiency and competency
