A majority of Americans across nearly all demographic groups said DEI initiatives have made no impact on their personal careers, according to a newly released Harris Poll/Axios Vibes survey.
Why it matters: Republican lawmakers and activists have vilified DEI, a term for diversity, equity and inclusion policies used by employers. Companies have responded by rolling back programs.
- Yet Americans — and businesses — have a generally positive to at least indifferent view on the subject.
- On balance, most demographic groups were more likely to say DEI benefited their career than hindered it.
No one is interpreting it that way.
What it looked like to me was that they were saying to me was that diversity meant that bad actors were hired.
I hope that wasn’t what they meant
It wasn’t. I’m talking about the backlash that these movies have been receiving from fans over overt DEI-related positions.
The original comment I responded to was FlyingSquid saying:
And I was pointing out a situation where that’s not necessarily true, where DEI narrows the customer base.
Thought so, glad we agree
