I don't even know what DEI means for this companies, every large IT company I worked with are like 80% Indian but diversity always translates in to less white men.

Well in some cases, as Kirsche mentions in that stream I linked, they use a faulty study in order to "convince" them their revenue is gonna go up.

Simple recipe really, create study, be the one that discusses it giving it credence, use it as genuine evidence. You'd think they work at Bethesda because "it just works" for some reason.

I know about the bogus study, is that they are not even applying that study. There are so many Indians in tech, there is no diversity. Sure in middle management in California you will see a bunch of women, mostly white but once you leave that bubble they are mostly Indians.

My previous job, huge IT company, had a graph at one point that would show where they were opening position, shockingly it was almost exclusively in India and a bit in Eastern Europe.

Even now, I'm working at a non-It company and boy are there a lot of Indians, yesterday a guy working on a presentation for IT support so that people know whom to ask when they need help had 1 guy in US, something like 3 guys in Europe and 20 something in India.

Every project I have ongoing with IT companies is just mostly Indians. There is some random European but that is about it, even the ones located in Europe are either Indian or some northern African with maybe a couple of exceptions.

There is no Diversity in DIE, there is just a reason to shit on white guys.

There is no Diversity in DIE

They'll actually confirm this themselves, smugly of course. I don't remember what the company or project I read/watched something about but they were celebrating that their diversity rating increased because the number of whites decreased or just became smaller than that of the newer employees.

Black Panther still is praised for being diverse, also the NBA is considered among the most diverse.

They are not hiding it.

You know what it's all about really? It's about cheap labour

Having already done that by moving a lot of production from the US and EU to China and others... some might have figured that bringing said labor closer and not dealing with shipping might be more profitable. Add to that planned obsolescence and your printing money. Although some are getting paid better but maybe it all evens out.
