Big Tech companies are cutting DEI programs—but watch exactly how they do it
Following in the footsteps of other major employers, tech companies like Meta and Amazon are making notable changes to their stance on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
In the past year, all sorts of companies have retreated from their commitments to diversity, equity, and inclusion, from “masculine” brands like John Deere and Harley-Davidson to massive companies like Walmart and McDonald’s. Many of these moves have followed public pressure and boycotts (namely a social media campaign mounted by conservative activist Robby Starbuck), but have also been catalyzed by a shifting legal and political climate after the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in 2023.
