In IT every corporation, big or small is still heavy on DIE crap. The last time I had to change jobs was because it was affecting my mental health, I was part of those who would test new hires. White males could and did get offers but any woman, no matter how incompetent got a job offer, they could literally know nothing about the required skills and could get hired. At one point someone in management thought we need it more Arabs, because diversity, but we couldn't find them locally so they had to bring some over from Canada and Egypt, it turned out to be a mess all around and one guy was on the global terror watch list and he was not allowed to be involved with clients from several countries.

We also had a "women in leadership" program going despite 80% of management being women, their excuse was that higher management was mostly men but the program was not focused on that. Was simply women ingroup bias at work. 

The job before that one, we had annual training that involved:

1. allow minorities room to make mistakes
2. don't look at a woman in the eyes for longer then 5 seconds
3. don't put your hand on someone's shoulder
4. don't bite your lip while talking to a woman

They also had a habit of firing the older 40-50 year old white guys when ever they wanted to do job cuts.

Now I'm not working at an IT company but at the IT department of a company. It is better but still had people praising diversity and efforts to increase diversity was part of the last corpo status meeting. No training and no calls for diversity in IT specifically, not that would matter as we're 80% Indians anyway - I hate working with Indians (dots not feathers). No DIE program compares with the ingroup bias of Indians and their complete lack of morals.

Lately they've just stopped talking about it. No flyers, no email announcements, HR has been about eighty percent laid off, etc.

I'm sure it varies by location and industry though.

The easier it is to melt into the background, the easier it is to avoid it.

My industry didn’t really have anything because it is a gloryless industry, not something fancy or exciting. The more prestigious the company, the likelier it is you’ll run into this crap.

My company is more woke than others so I’ll say this: on a day to day interaction it’s work talk and normal social interaction. Where DIeversity really comes into play is hiring, firing, & promotions.

As a White male, I’m very knowledgeable, charismatic & management loves me. However, I’m about 2 rungs below where I should be promotion wise. Why?

1. Company only hires blacks, browns, and White women since 2020. And when they’re hired, they have inflated titles already so promotions are “hard to come by” for anyone else.

2. Under-performer minorities are never fired. No matter how bad they are at their job.

Not bad, won't go into details obviously but work with quite a lot of women at my company.

Majority are tomboys or like me in a way that they'll subtly follow my lead when I propose a line of action. Never had to do pronoun bullshit, sensitivity training etc though that might be helped that we have a very small HR pretty much one person so no time to nanny.

Had to do some training for a different sector recently. In the training materials:

The "guide" was a black woman.
The "employees" were all blue haired women or man-bun wearing ambiguously light brown soyboys.
The only normal looking white guy was cast as the retard in the OSHA video who was doing everything wrong and almost lost his arm. His helper was a tiny Indian looking woman who was pointing out all his OSHA violations the whole time. He gets fired.

I live in the midwest. Its bad.

I have worked for one of the very large banks for 7 years, but am going to put my notice in soon since I’m moving elsewhere.

The bank was all in on DEI bullshit after the junkie died and pushed very hard. Many nigs were promoted that didn’t deserve it. Nigger shit was pushed nonstop for equity and inclusion, but they rarely focused on Hispanics or Asians - the latter only when they were getting attacked by niggers. The past year has almost stopped completely- I still get crap about Hindu holidays while ignoring our own. Trans bullshit has also been nonexistent. Their diversity is mainly women. Seeing how most of IT has been farmed out to India, the women will start seeing the results.

The funny thing is I have privileged access to a Tableau dashboard that lists DEI stats, and there has been a 2% drop in blacks in my company the past year. I’m sure they fired most of them since they were hired only for their skin color.

I am leaving for a company that has been marked low on Glassdoor for diversity ratings, so I think I’ll like the new company just fine.

In my experience DIE wasn't as bad as the pro woman bullshit. I have no problems with women if they can do the job but that's only been a very rare minority. Then they promote them to management and it's a huge shitshow. I've had female bosses that had no idea how to do the job and lose thousands for the company.

There have also been a number of cases with different employers where women talked about shit that would be a huge concern if they were men- openly talking about how much they hate men, how men suck, long discussions about vibrators and sex toys- really inappropriate shit and we're supposed to act like nothing's wrong.

Also the number of women in the workforce have turned it into more of a nursery school where they have little playbreaks and bullshit. Childish shit.

I work in... well, for OpSec I'll say security, though it's an adjacent field. But we are required to write up profiles of basically everyone that crosses our paperwork pile.

We get emails and mandatory training about "never assume xirs gender! This is super duper important!" probably once a month. It's honestly excessive. At the same time, our boss says "if you dare put 'unknown' on every "gender" checkbox for the 400 profiles per day that pass your desk because 'you didn't personally ask them what they identified as', even for one day as a prank, you're getting written up."

The profiles and reporting are for legal purposes. The company would skip it if they could: pure cost savings to not do it, if not legally required to report it. Thus, enforcement/getting written up would purely be because of legal ramifications, not internal desires. The DEI materials come from the government too. So in other words, the government is pushing the DEI on us, but the government is going to punish us if we follow it.

Every hospital in Canada is running DIE and people can't find jobs because the management is so bad.

I wanted to make an addition to my doomer comment. 99% of time it does not factor in to anything, it's some eye rolling when a minority gets praised for doing some basic stuff because white managers treat them like kids but that is the extent of day to day.

If you manage to ignore and not focus on the discrimination and pandering it is mostly ok. You can still enjoy the superficial culture of fake-happy that corpos create. Even when they're promoting diversity it is always as some happy event that somehow makes it better for you. You feel very pampered most of the time. they're hardly hostile towards you (except if you're manager is a woman and you're not hot af). Just don't let your guard down, corpo politics is a game of thrones - feminists, Indians, other minorities all smile but each fighting for themselves and now that white guys aren't that many they do turn on each other and that makes things easier for us.

Post-Trump election I haven't heard shit.

Pre-Trump disgustingly cucked. Couldn't even look my director in the eye anymore after he went on a cucked diatribe galvanizing black people. I fucking hate the soulless corporate NPCs I work with with a burning passion.

Where I work, it’s mostly background noise that can be tuned out. There’s lots of lip service to woke shit, and we have a DEI team that’s effectively stealing money from the company, along with maybe another 10% of the company that’s in ostensibly useful functions who actually don’t do shit other than post about their front holes or whatever on social media…but there’s nothing mandatory if you don’t want to participate in it, and so far no one has tried to push me toward hiring any specific demographic…so mostly DEI is just kind of an annoying money pit but at least doesn’t fuck with my day to day work
