Summary
Walmart has rolled back its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, ending DEI training, racial equity programs, and diversity metrics in hiring and supplier decisions.
Employees call the move a betrayal, citing the lack of communication and its impact on marginalized groups.
The rollback has drawn praise from conservatives but criticism from racial equity advocates, including Walmart’s largest workers’ group, United for Respect, which plans to reintroduce a racial equity audit proposal in 2025.
Critics argue the changes mark a major regression for racial and workplace equity at the nation’s largest private employer.
Well, I hope you’re rational enough to understand that you can’t predict the future and you may actually be wrong about how bad you think things will be. What you’re doing right now is ‘speculating.’ It’s important to acknowledge that your predictions are just that, predictions. They have not come to pass yet and you shouldn’t pretend that your predictions have already been proven true.
A lot of you people seem to argue as though your predictions are fact, and then get mad at anyone who says otherwise.
Was the first trump presidency better, worse, or about the same as you expected it to be leading up to inauguration?
I’m not predicting anything above aside from it being different from 2017.
The first Trump presidency was a dumpster fire that was actively exploding daily until January 20th 2021. But I have “the advantage” of remembering all of the terrible shit that happened because my brain wasn’t ravaged by multiple rounds of COVID to “redpill” me.
Worse. It was worse than my expectations.
