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.
Oh, I think I may have figured out where the misunderstanding lies. You think that when I said “poor performances” I was talking about acting performances. I was talking about performance at the box office.
Studios don’t really care about the quality of the performance, they just care about the profit.
Ah, okay. I get it now. Thanks for clearing that up.
No problem. Didn’t occur to me that “performance” had a double meaning when it came to commercial media like TV and movies.
