    So where are we supposed to pull those bootstraps toward?

    They kept Prison labor still inclusive i bet?

    I am not perceived LGBT, but wear the autism practically on my face i feel like i am waiting in line for the chopping block.

    I am not sure who’s behind me but if you aren’t a millionaire you are in waving distance.

    I’d bet that nobody’s record states “DEI HIRE” so they’ll just purge all the women, minorities, and LGBTQ+ employees.

      That’s not what it means. It doesn’t mean people hired party because of DEI. It means people who work in DEI departments or have DEI in their title. So, certain managers, HR people, etc. Not some random worker who may or may not have been hired party for DEI reasons.
