Fascinating article on DEI initiatives at the Secret Service

I don't get offended by strangers... That's why I don't have anyone on ignore.

You sure seem to be offended a lot.

When you say "our" you are talking only whites, or everyone?

Do you believe that white culture is decaying because of other races affecting it? Or is it a generational problem? Many old people think that way of the next generation.

Both generational and societal, not necessarily other races, just a general sense of entitlement and softness

I guess I give off the wrong impression then. I disagree with people on here but I'm not offended by them.

That might be true for you, but for many Cons DEI is a curse word without even thinking about it.

Fair enough. I have no problem with the objective...just see some problems with the way it's being implemented in some quarters.

Agreed. In hiring practices I think it’s reasonable to consider diversity as A factor, not THE determining factor.

I also think it’s reasonable to have awareness seminars and such at work in general to expose people to other cultures/POVs.

I've been in on some of the DE&I seminars... I'm old enough to remember Coke's "Try to be less white"

Thankfully, I’m not old enough for that.

You are, it was like 5 years ago

Lol so the Secret Service messes up big time, fails to do their job, and lets a Presidential candidate just about get his head blown off….and they blame DEI? Comedy at its finest. Of course the boards most gullible members are eating it up.

From now on, if I make a mistake at work, rather than looking internally at myself and what I could do better, I’m just going to say DEI caused my failure and move on.

they actually have to provide some sort of evidence.

Are you talking about the can of coke that was on social media?

No the notice to employees

 

[NoleinATL]

No the notice to employees

Do you have a link where the company sent a notice?

I remember the Coke can that went viral and the DEI training link from Indeed
but not a statement from the company to its employees
