Culture Corporate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Chiefs Getting Fired

Wall Street Journal recently did an article titled 'The Rise and Fall of the Chief Diversity Officer.'


One of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion or DEI/Chief Diversity Officers interviewed was Miriam Warren of Yelp who talked of experiencing "a combination of grief, being very tired, and being, in some cases, overwhelmed." :cry:

Other "CDO's" complained that in the wake of the Supreme Court striking down Affirmative Action and the potential legal challenges that could arise from that, as well as a general shakeup of the tech sector, that corporate leadership is doing a sudden about face in regards to CDO's and DEI crap.

In the wake of the Summer of Love in 2020, three quarters of companies had Chief Diversity Officer positions, up from half in 2018 and their roles expanded beyond just Human Resources issues, as they were also involved in product development and marketing etc.

But now... things are changing...

Wall Street Journal said:
New analysis from employment data provider Live Data Technologies shows that chief diversity officers have been more vulnerable to layoffs than their human resources counterparts, experiencing 40% higher turnover. Their job searches are also taking longer.

"I got to 300 applications and then I stopped tracking," says Stephanie Lubin, who was laid off from her role as diversity head at Drizly, an online alcohol marketplace, in May following the company's acquisition by Uber.

In one case, Lubin says she went through 16 rounds of interviews for a role she didn't get, and says she is now planning to pivot out of DEI work.

The number of CDO searches is down 75% in the past year, says Jason Hanold, chief executive of Hanold Associates Executive Search, which works with Fortune 100 companies to recruit HR and DEI executives, among other roles. Demand is the lowest he has seen in his 30 years of recruiting.

40% Higher Turnover Rate!

Longer Job Searches!

Thirty Year Low in Demand

Other companies are just combining some DEI roles into Human Resources or Janitorial Services. Most (shockingly) who are still considering DEI/CDO positions are more concerned with potential legal issues instead of just virtue signalling!
