> Wasn't this the company that announced they were laying people off based on race in the last round of layoffs?

Oh yeah, they were. I forgot about that.

> As you all know, we are committed to becoming an Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression company. Layoffs like this can have a more pronounced impact on marginalized communities, so we were particularly focused on ensuring our layoffs – while a business necessity today – were carried out through an Anti-Racist/Anti-Oppression lens.

I notice they did not include similar language in this new round of layoffs.

They finally listened to their lawyers. Anyone not of a so called “marginalized community”fired in the last round very likely sued for civil rights violations.

One of the silver linings of this recession is DEI has been gutted and thrown on the trash heap where it belongs. Any competent CEO is using this moment to gut the commissars and rabble rousers from their payrolls. Time to check the Slack logs and cleanse the company of activists.
