From the Atlanta Daily World:

In a surprising yet increasingly common move, Microsoft has quietly dismantled its team dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).  The decision, communicated via email to the affected employees on July 1, cited “changing business needs” as the reason for the layoffs. While the exact number of employees impacted remains unclear, the team’s lead didn’t … Continued

I mean the entire purpose of a dei group in a company is to make sure that the company isn't doing things that will get them fucking sued into the ground, like choosing to only hire young white males for instance.

If they want to disband this group fine, just that's going to be exhibit A in all of the lawsuits.

You mean the lawsuits that will be tossed out by the totally not corrupt upstanding officials at the "Supreme" Court?

Do you realize how difficult it would be to get a simple case like this in front of the supreme court?

Do you realise how easy it will be to get a case in front of the supreme court if it affects the interests of the oligarchy?

There is a set process. Cases do not simply go directly before The supreme Court.

They have to first go through the appropriate venue in whatever jurisdiction they originate in and go through trial and then after that if the results of that trial are not satisfactory then they can be appealed which would mean they would then go to a district court and then if they're not satisfied with that then they can petition the supreme Court to review the appellate Court's decision.

You're talking years and millions of dollars worth of lawyer fees for each case. Anyone with a drop of sense will attempt to settle the case long before it reaches the supreme court.

While I definitely understand your stance and your disenfranchisement with the American political system, as of right now, there are still functioning sections of the American government

An assessment test I did for a job recently was essentially just an SAT and IQ test. None of it had to do with the position but it was a quick way for them to say "no foreigners."
