But are they a majority of shares?
Only a fool would turn away talent because of their skin color, gender, or disability.
The purpose of DEI is to enable meritocracy. Instead, the fools want their undeserved privilege back.
I heard recently that the word “meritocracy” was originally coined to mean the opposite of how you’re using it. As a sort of ironic codeword where there shouldn’t have to be a word because that’s how it is supposed to work. As in - when the CEO’s son gets a VP job right out of high school, chalk it up to “meritocracy”.
Not disagreeing with your sentiment, I just thought that was interesting. Enjoy your day!
Huh, I’m actually kinda surprised, this is John Deere the tractor company right?
Shareholders of, but yes.
The majority of shareholders aren’t retail investors, they’re investment funds and are the same for every major companies you’ll find. BlackRock doesn’t care what Trump thinks, it will vote for what works.
If that were the absolute truth as you present it, many of the other, also publicly traded companies would not have dropped DEI like it’s a sandwich full of ants
I suspect that the same majority of all shareholders of everything except “truth soscial” (I know, not publicly traded) feel the same. The value of diversity is proven and anyone who is against is obviously dumb.
That’s interesting. The vast majority, about 83%, of their shareholders are large institutional shareholders like Vanguard and JP Morgan Chase. Would those be who voted in this?
Its not a hard thing to vote for, unless your racist. DEI programs have been proven to boost productivity in every sector that they were studied. Even if it weren’t the right thing to do in general, it’s the right thing to do for the bottom line.
I like how that percentage number is the same as the temperature of a normal human body. Seems appropriate.
