Diversity Equity and Inclusion is the new hot idea in corporate HR.

The linked article about REI is just an example from last year, but I've been hearing about similar mandatory DEI trainings that covertly push anti-solidarity messages via a framing of "avoiding potential microaggressions". Basically, don't talk to other employees about anything 'controversial'. Don't talk or ask about other peoples lives. Don't get to know other people as humans, that would be bad for the company.

Anyone else seen this subtext cropping up in the DEI corporate trainings?

My mandatory company DEI computer based training had kind of the opposite message: get to know your coworkers and embrace your differences.

Well that's wholesome to hear. I'm sure there's a spectrum of DEI programs available. How large a company is it roughly?

It’s a multinational Fortune 500 company

Maybe if conservatives hear about this they'll start supporting DEI
