DEI is the "climate change of HR"

DEI is the "climate change of HR." It's an unsustainable "solution" for a make-believe problem. Small wonder that most HR people (I retired from the field) are still rabid for DEI, as the vast majority of today's HR professionals are young, female, liberal and radical, at least compared to HR people from 50 to 75 years ago. HR people "in the day" had a much deeper understanding of business, and a much more keen awareness for the employer-employee balance. And they were much less gullible and brainwashed than today's HR practitioners. My entire HR career was, as have been the careers of most HR people, carried out in the face of skeptical senior managers forced (to some extent) to "take HR's word for it" (DEI, affirmative action, this fad, that fad...ad infinitum), who then felt betrayed when HR's pleas and assurances turned out to be all Cost and no Benefit. Alas, DEI has nigh established itself as yet another HR cottage industry that will entice employers to spend millions for nothing.

Talk about fuel for inflation! DEI has driven up the cost of goods and services, and driven down productivity. But nobody ever really thinks or talks about "inflationary wokeness" or "inflationary government," and their wasteful effects on industry. Do we?

DEI: "Devilish Elitist Ignorance."
