Greater rejection of the DEI narrative

 Fox Business:

Diversity, equity and inclusion jobs slashed at higher rate than others in recent layoffs

Corporations are trimming DEI roles according to a recent study

...

The workforce analytics firm found that attrition rates for DEI gigs have surged over the past six months at the more than 600 companies that have conducted layoffs since late 2020 and outpaced non-DEI attrition last year by a rate of 33% to 21%.

Revelio reported that more than 300 DEI professionals left their roles in the last half of 2022 at firms impacted by layoffs, and entire DEI departments were likely eliminated in the bloodbath.

"Amazon, Twitter, and Nike have shed between 5 and 16 DEI professionals each, and Twitter’s infamous diversity team layoffs are not far behind," the company wrote in its analysis. "Bearing in mind the typically small size of DEI teams – the median DEI team size in this set of companies is 3 – these outflows likely amount to the exodus of entire diversity teams."

The committee paid no attention to the fact that black attitudes had deteriorated significantly (from 82 percent in 2015 to 55 percent in 2020) since the intensification of the DEI regime. They also ignored how all groups—whites, blacks, and Hispanics—increasingly felt that they did not belong at TAMU. Sowing racial resentment into TAMU’s DNA had (unexpectedly!) yielded racial resentment and disharmony.
