Robby Starbuck says these programs once got a lot of buy-in, because people wanted to be nice!
But DEI came to mean much more than just being nice.
Starbuck says what it looked like in practice was “crazy trainings” and “overtly racist hiring practices.”
Now lots of people agree with him. Companies actually take notice when Starbuck tells his many followers about their DEI programs. Often the programs get dropped.
That’s the power of free speech.
