Law Trump orders all federal DEI employees to be put on paid leave.

so..... pay them to not work?

Lmao of course this is the part that catches a democrat's interest.


"someone's giving handouts?!"

You laugh but these programs are actively destroying merit based hiring in many places. Just paying them to not continue to harm the country would be better than paying them to harm the country. However they should be cut off like a cancerous tumor at the earliest possible moment.

How do they know who are DEI hires? Are they simply going to get rid all minorities and women?

Maybe people who have DEI officer in their names. Or are in positions where their job is to promote the racist and sexist practice. Or is that too much thinking for you?

It sounds like people think he's firing DIE hires like kamala.

"merit-based hiring" doesn't exist.

"merit-based hiring" doesn't exist.

Except it does? If you ran a company, would you hire based on racial equity or who can provide you the most money? Absent of external forces like Blackrock that are forcing ESG on companies by threat of withholding investments and government programs that are forced onto the population. You would want the person who best serves the company.

You have quite the victim complex.

Oh for fuck sake... did anyone actually watch the video? or just read the misleading title and went full retard?

They are not getting rid of any DEI hires, they are getting rid of the people running DEI programs, maintaining DEI websites and training courses, as well as axing the external contractors that are consulting on these bullshit DEI initiatives

Got it, that's what I figured the title meant. I don't know anything about HR law, but it wouldn't surprise me if paid leave was the only way such roles could be immediately dealt with. You can't just fire them (at least, I don't think you can), but at least this way you can keep them from doing any more hiring or implementing any more policies.

Will certainly challenged on Constitutional grounds. You can't discriminate based on race, national origin, etc.

I don't think trump can argue firing for DEI cuts it. They'll almost certainly get a stay until SCOTUS can take it up. I can't see even a conservative court contorting enough to make this lawful.

If Trump really want's to attack "DEI," he should just stick with attacking programs/organizations within the control of the Executive.

Was being hired based off race “constitutional”?

You certainly can discriminate based on race as long as you're discriminating against whites or Asians. That's how DEI hires are made in the first place.

Good! DEI or Didn't Earn It initiatives don't work and people are sick of it. Forced liberal garbage, waste of time and money.

Yeah, y’all love DEI when it includes people like Linda McMahon, Pete Hegseth, Matt Gaetz, and Kash Patel.

MAGA acting all holier than thou when it comes to merit is so tone deaf…It shows complete lack of self awareness.

 

[WhiteMousse]

I cannot imagine how this could possibly be implemented without severely crippling the operating power of these organizations. Not to mention having to continue paying these individuals to not work for an unknown amount of time is a horrendous waste of money. Just a bullshit EO that's gonna get overturned.

DEI departments have nothing but unfavorable impact on P&L's, and have no impact whatsoever on operations. They're less valuable than Admin, and the department is classified as an expense and allocated to other departments for the monthly income statement.

I believe he only means dei program peeps. Not people hired for standard work that may or may have not been on the basis of dei.

 

[fedorthegoat777]

Awesome.

After all the DEI employees are gone, fire the rest of them.

 

[oldshadow]

Hard to tell if he is talking about people that were hired because they were passed over other people then I'm not sure how you would ID or even do this.

If he is talking actual people in DEI departing the government then I can see it.

Apparently it's the 2nd. Did not sound super clear on my first time watching the video. We'll see how it goes

They already have, thats why Trump is fireing them.
