DEI

Since there is no DEI thread yet I thought I’d start one to keep it all in one thread.

Never would have thought I'd see Target in the second list. For shame.

 

[Targen]

Imagine being on the wrong side of a list with Bank of America and Delta...

Guess it’s time to take my business to Ace Hardware. Not surprised that Ford is on the wrong list, considering their founder.

Maybe Amazon will start selling fishing shit and ammo. TallAP- is Sporty's Pilot Shop on either list?

Boycotts of Target are in the works.

Yeah this is going to be so great. /s

I live in a town with a big christian university and I have a lot of LGBT+/POC coworkers.

I think I'll wear my target brand Pride shirt anyway.

Our store is pretty much diverse and inclusive but when it comes to equity, not so much .

I was reading some posts that boycotting Target would actually end up hurting a lot of the diverse/black owned businesses though since they are still prominently featured. So consider going there and still buying those specific things, but like maybe not Up&Up toilet Paper?

They are still currently featured.

It will be even more telling if Target keeps diverse business at the forefront. As always ExpectMorePayLess

If you get a chance check out the federal memos about firing people responsible for certain things in all agencies.
They say DEIA.
The A is for accessibility, namely making buildings accessible for people with disabilities and helping managers create accommodations.
They are also getting rid of deaf interpreters.
So fuck these people.
