Target rolls back DEI initiatives, the latest big company to retreat
Target joins Walmart, Meta, McDonald's and a wave of other major companies pulling back on DEI programs.
I officially stopped shopping at Target when they backed away from LGBTQ+ support.
Same. I used to shop there daily. It was my go-to grocery store.
Then they kept bowing down to conservative snowflakes.
After a while, I just stopped going.
Conservatism: professional victimhood.
I'm running out of places to shop. I hate this timeline.
Another spineless corporation. I wish I could say I was surprised.
I mean come on, do we actually expect any billionaire CEO to not bend down and suck off Trump? It's not like they actually believed in DEI to begin with, it just aligned with the current political climate that was beneficial to stock prices at the time.
Only one I've seen so far, but Costco's board just overwhelmingly reinforced their support for DEI.
But they're clearly the exception... No, I don't expect anything more from these scumbags.
Plenty of them are on his side, but plenty of others are also terrified of what will happen to them if they defy Trump. In a sense, I don't blame them for that. But it's not an excuse.
Feckless fucking cowards.
It's just another excuse to do layoffs without spooking investors
Is there a list of these companies somewhere?
It's shorter to list all the companies that aren't preemptively complying with the fascist regime:
- Costco
Edit several days later:
-
Delta Airlines
-
Cleveland Cavaliers NBA team
-
JP Morgan
-
Apple
Yeah, but they're shitty in other ways, which is why their drivers are on strike right now.
