Agree, DEI is the most racist thing I’ve ever seen. DEI initiatives have unfairly disadvantaged talented Asian men in tech companies, while Asian individuals still face hiring barriers in government jobs, including the CTA. Instead of DEI, focus on hiring the best candidate for the job, regardless of race or gender.
Forcing diversity just for the sake of useless quotas was never a good idea. I think the best way is to simply hire the applicant who fits the job best, no matter the gender or origin. Because in the end I think it’s more unfair if the best applicant doesn’t get the job because of a quota than the other way round.
Do you know the history of quotas? It stems from the Civil Rights movement. The Civil Right movement existed because certain people can't be trusted to hire based on merit. If people weren't biased in real life merit based hiring would work.

@@fasctic3922That’s a very optimistic view of DEI. I once worked for a woman who would only promote other women and minorities. It was quite obvious after a while. I had to leave the company to get ahead. I did well at my new company, but what I experienced wasn’t okay.
DEI is only for certain groups per dems. Asians are regarded the same as white male even in sports scholarships or school sports while their academic focus results in nothing. Such a hypocrisy
Yeah, thats the whole point of DEI, its supposed to widen the talent pool. You never know who the real "best for the job" person will be if you only focus on one area/demographic; You would only find the "best" of that specific group.
I find all of the benefits of DEI that Anne Chow spouted off in her clip to be highly suspect. Do you suddenly feel energized and inspired to work harder because the people around you are a different color? 73% more likely to reap innovation revenue? that is an eye popping number with no evidence.
yeah, imagine saying something along the lines of "people of different skin color have different capacity to each other", almost like they're different tools. It's almost like a line from eugenics
Also, like 2 minutes later they go on to say "oh it can't be quantified but it's still important." But you're throwing around these crazy statistics that you're saying is quantified, so which is it?
The only thing DEI has done for me that’s been positive is that they did a review of all lateral colleagues with the same job and title as me, found that the 3 guys on my team were making more than me… I ended up with an immediate pay raise to be within a predetermined +\- within their salaries. Being a female, I’ve always suspected that my colleagues were getting paid more and despite having a female boss who talks about advocating for women all the time, I was super disappointed.
I don't think you understood that. Let me clarify. As a collective which we all live in, one form or another, a betterment of one person impacts others in small ways. Think of a good mood for example. This isn't about ego. You're being rather black/white. Pun intended.
That's not true....dei is for not only minorities in race but also veterans and disabled people. Why was dei embraced you may ask. Because there have been countless studies that showed that companies hired more white males than other minority groups. Including guardsmen, minorities, and disabled people.....even when those people had similar skillets or even better qualifications. But you don't care about that.....
The DEI advocate lady has incredibly flawed logic… for example, saying “the better off I am the better of everyone else is” is purely self serving. That is true of some people, but not all people. I can think of many evil people throughout history who that would not apply to.
She also says “more people now have permission to be anti-DEI” meaning people previously did not have permission to be against hiring based on skin color.
Do not foget the companies who did DEI, and do not forgive. If you were turned down for a job in the last five years, now is the time to begin filing lawsuits.
Yeah, what she didn't take into consideration is that she was given the position over a more qualified person. Her gain is that person's loss, so her statement is false.
But if the "merit" being measured automatically favors certain groups (like "career potential" which biases against women), it's not any better. Ask China how they're doing with promoting Party members on the "merit" of (falsified) GDP growth and ideological loyalty.
you can fire them, but they're prone to sue. And there are powerful activist organizations that will jump in and pay for the lawyers, likeSouthernPoverty Law. It's all they do all day, is sue companies over skin color.
Please show me these studies that proof a „diverse“ (different looking) group works better? We need diverse thoughts regardless how the people look like.
So what is a better way to achieve that than DEI apart from requesting the search history of every applicant? Hiring from a wider variety of social groups will lead to more homogeneous living experiences and hence "diverse thoughts".
As a female lead engineer in a gas company, I worked my way up to my position. If I was put into my position due to my gender, that would ruin my determination. I know I’m good at what I do and I deserve this position, but I’ve seen hires for entry level engineers who cannot keep up even with training and support but check DEI boxes. You’re hurting us more than helping us, in most cases.
My kid, a white girl, applied to the local whole foods, hoping for a pay raise from the McDonald's where she had worked all through high school. The McD's was and is highly diverse, by the way; my daughter was one of the two wihte people working there; the rest are Latino or Haitians. Nothing wrong with that; she learned to get along with all types, and they were all nice to her as well. But the whole foods, man... they rejected her application with no explanation. But her classmate, an afri caname rican, was hired the next day, with zero work experience. It was what we used to call racial discrimination but today it's politely known as DEI. Hire the diversity option no matter how unqualified because they "deserve" it. And guess what kind of lesson that teaches young people, that life is unfair, that skin color is what gets you in the door. Just like we're back in fcking 1950.
That sucks but would it have been an easier pill to swallow if a white male with no experience was hired instead of your daughter? Their could be more to that situation. Was the classmate also a girl? This could be a situation where the boss was more attracted to the other one and will probably get fired for harassment down the line. Maybe your daughter dodged a bullet?
@@ahunt1054 If the white male had zero experience then that would sting. A girl with several years of McD's experience (and anyone in retail/food can tell you, if you can hack 3-4 years at McD's, you can work anywhere) is passed over for someone with zero experience is one thing. The fact they also had "preferential" skin tone is doubly suspicious. But guess what. Due to her years in the work force as a young teen, she has the grit and mental toughness to just move on and not complain about it. Frankly, when I was her age, I was a total snowflake. She'll do okay in life, I predict. That boy who got the free ride at wf... not so much.
Have you thought that maybe it had something to do with your daughter's availability? If they were both in high school and the other girl had better availability then your daughter then as an employer I would pick the other girl over your daughter as well. I'm assuming your daughter was already working at McD's while the other girl had no job, meaning that the other girl is available to work immediately (which seems like the case based on your comment), while there might have been some delay with you daughter since she was still working at McDs. Allso, work experience basically is irrelevant in an entry level job like Whole Foods where all you do is tending the cash which can be taught to someone in less then a day.
@@ahunt1054 She said application. She didn’t clarify if they made it to the interview part. And most managers at Whole Foods are part of the alphabet community. So I doubt that would happen.
It’s ok to hire diverse people if they are the best qualified option for a job opening. Otherwise companies are not maximising their profitability. In this time every dollar counts.
Exactly! We literally have a convicted felon as president! Regardless of political affiliation, that’s a joke! I hope employers start removing that question if you have been convicted of any felonies
there's a reason DEI is a thing at all. I of course agree job should be based on skill, but getting rid of DEI doesn't ensure that either. At the same time I agree you can't have some thing artificially distributing workers based on anything outside of what's desired for a job. Maybe get rid of DEI and see how it goes. Things have changed enough I think that people and companies can sort it out on their own. Companies just want to make money and people want good jobs.
we conservatives aren't against more minority representation we just want people to be employed based on merit skills not bc of what ethnicity someone is or what color
Come on. She means her personal mood. And that's true, happiness does radiate outwards. I don't agree with her policies at all, but let's not pretend we can't see where she's coming from.
Tech companies are leading the charge in quitting DEI and suddenly, quitting is becoming a trend. Perhaps they saw companies like Tesla/SpaceX/X who shunned DEI and emphasized on the old-fashioned meritocracy who also made great innovations.
Tesla is about to decline in coming 10 yrs.....within such yrs it would be acquired by other big giants. Tesla being replaced by other EV brands in both Asia and europe X is already loosing 1 million followers every month. Without consumers....how come company has the success. Just wait and watch DEI is not very efficient but tesla/X are worse at their business model.
I find it so heartwarming to see all the comments on this video recognizing the dangers of basing hires on race or other such factors. Your own race or background doesn't automatically mean you will be the best choice for a position. Black businesses fail in black neighborhoods, white businesses fail in white neighborhoods, so on and so forth. Good businesses have some other quality, and that quality is what people should be looking for. Not race.
And when faced with 5 equally good candidates who you cant reasonable compare further based on merit with any sort of accuracy everyone will default to their own biases. Which are based on "on race or other such factors" as you put it. So in the end you do get the very thing you are against without DEI. Although it does favor you if you are part of the majority demographic. As you have the highest chance of recruiters being biased in your favor and to the detriment of slightly more qualified minorities. Also this doesnt even only apply to bias regarding race/gender or any other minority status but also attractiveness as that has been proven through studies to also be a bias in hiring. The only reasonable alternative is some kind of interview in which all of your demographic hints are gone. Think of a VR environment with an unrepresentative avatar and an LLM AI voice changer that changes everything from pitch, resonance, vowel pronunciations, speech patterns etc.. Something similar must also be done for your movements, gestures and facial expressions. Or alternatively communication through something similar to Stephen Hawkings speech synthesizer with an additional layer of AI speech pattern filtering. Like which one do you prefer?
@@fasctic3922 Well, racial discrimination is supposed to be illegal. I agree that the system doesn't work now, but instead of swinging the pendulum of racial preference, why not just make it so that employers cannot request your race? Further, as previously mentioned, I think any form of hiring based on race is problematic. Your assertions that I am pushing for people to be racist in another way is simply false. Two negatives don't make a positive, and encouraging other forms of choosing someone through race doesn't solve the actual issue that people are biased. Let's instead focus on the actual root issue, no? Lastly, I know it's a complicated matter, and I know I cannot address any serious systemic issue in a comment section. It'd take too much time, and I don't get paid for it, so I'll leave this here.
@@icecreamhero2375 If I may, please allow me to spin this back on you. Why is it my responsibility to provide more detailed solutions here, when we both know larger companies will not be looking to my comment for solutions? But in the interest of fairness, I'll give you my solution. In the chance you've never applied to any white-collar job, the first interview is almost always over the phone, and it is very difficult to identify someone's race over the phone. Plus it is statistically shown that racial bias has a much lower effect on people you have already met. This is a very basic solution to put in place.
@@joev3783 Some people of certain races do tend to have certain accents. I grew up on Amazing World of Gumball. We all knew Darwin was black. The actor used his natural speaking voice. There are some people who don't "sound their race".
Isn't judging people on the basis of their genetics IE women, skin color, sexual orientation what the little mustache man did in the 30s for his "final solution." Strange huh.
The "idea" and intent are virtuous. But it's horribly implemented. Basically, just giving black and LGBTQIA "representation". So it just becomes racial, gender, sexual orientation discrimination.
I agree that it should be Merritt based ... but as a black person I know i will be and have already got passed on for opportunities ive come to just deal with it.
I always feel especially better when the people that my life is in their hands are DEI hires. Like my doctor, building and bridge engineers and manufacturers of planes and medicine.
Oh wait CNBC - You forgot to mention the CEI scoring system that was shoved down every companies throat and if you didn't participate, you were punished. How convenient that you didn't include this in your video.

Totally off topic, but why do so many channels have scenes like 3:48 where they show information on a tv or laptop? CNBC have used that same tv with different clips placed in it on other videos. why not just go fullscreen, rather than showing a screen for me to watch on my screen?
Awesome video, Gracias,! I think the market is over-heated. And I am concerned that people are focusing less on fundamentals and just chanting the mantra of dollar cost averaging and driving the market higher without considering fundamentals. It is a catch-22 for me. I mean I like crypto prices going higher but also buying over-priced market and ETFs. Personally, I have stopped buying growth ETFs- they are ridiculously over-valued. Dividend crypto and ETFs are a little better but they are still over-valued. There is some hope with small and mid caps. I am not sure they are undervalued but at least they are less over-valued..This pattern offers a valuable insight for strategic planning. Despite these trends, i have delve deeply into active trading and managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 432k in the space of a few months...

Whether DEI or not....most american consumer companies would fail....the country would fail. Becoz it cant beat the asian technology and innovation. They have overpowered their company valuation in terms of global consumerism....
Selection should always be based solely on merit. This ensures that opportunities are awarded to the most qualified individuals, fostering fairness and excellence.
The merits measured aren't always economically rational though. Some are subtle like "career potential" which discounts women. Some are more blatant like Party loyalty in China.
Sports is objective. You either score more points or you don't. Leadership and other opportunities in corporate America 🇺🇸 on the other hand, are subjective. It all comes down to who something thinks is a "right" fit. 🤓
The final quote: "The better off I am, the better off other people are" describes the capitalist trickle down effect. I don't think she fully understood what she said there.
This story doesn’t remotely explain what DEI means in a practical sense. Connect the dots. When one person on the video says DEI budgets are being cut because, “they don’t bear fruit”, what exactly does he mean? What are the metrics that tell you DEI is actually improving innovation? Are the effects tangible? Are there examples that highlight the cause and effect relationships? What do employees like about their company’s DEI policies, and what don’t they like? How much of the backlash on DEI is driven by the use of overpriced training programs and consultants that promote divisive and unproven critical race and critical gender theory ideas? Can some parts of DEI be cut while other parts are saved?
@@briandetommaso1793 I was pointing out the flaws in the video, not holding out hope for DEI. I know full well they don’t have answers to my questions. There are no dots for them to connect. I just wish they’d admit it.
I’m Latino, and I don’t need DEI to succeed, I’m highly skilled in my field and am well compensated. I’m also tired as a consumer to have an agenda shoved down my throat by every company I interact with, just make quality products, I don’t care about your political stances.
What ever happnened to diversity of thought, background and experience? Personally, I find that the most effective organizations are those that not only bring together people of varied backgrounds and thoughts, but also cultivate inclusive environments where contributions are valued on both merit and the unique perspectives others bring. Tempering a hybrid approach that integrates merit-based criteria is essential if we want meaningful impact that addresses structural biases as well as upholding high standards in the workplace.
Isn’t it strange that 75% of executives are vocal and in favor of DEI, and at the same time, 75% of S&P 500 companies tie executive pay to DEI metrics in 2023? What a crazy coincidence... you can’t make this stuff up.
I want the companies who provide me services and goods to have the greatest and best people in their business. That will help everyone to get what they need from these companies. I don't want a bad seed to ruined my purchases.
My problem with how this is reported is there was a boom that is now shrinking. It doesn't mean companies are walking away of diversity and inclusion as part of their corporate culture. It just means they didn't see value in paying someone to oversee it.
I’m just always fascinated by the fact that how they don’t even realize that a forced diversity directly contradicts with the second word of DEI: equity, and it is actually textbook definition of racism or sexism.
I think the problem is describing corporate DEI initiatives as a "social issue." That's misleading. It's not. While some companies embraced DEI as a way to drive more fairness in their hiring, others used as a way to open up their talent pool to people they would not have considered in the past. And that is a competitive edge. Again, the test of DEI's usefulness is what happens to companies that don't do it compared to those that do. If it's truly a competitive edge, we'll find out in a few years or so. If it's not, then really, no one wants to be hired purely based off their skin colour. Plus I wouldn't want to work in a company that would overlook my competence and skills just because of my skin colour anyway, so either way, it works out for everyone.
DEI is the most racist thing invented in recent years
Democrats embrace DEI that should tell you a lot.
Studies showed that it benefited Caucasian women the most. We need a cultural shift as opposed to forced diversity

Yeah, thats the whole point of DEI, its supposed to widen the talent pool. You never know who the real "best for the job" person will be if you only focus on one area/demographic; You would only find the "best" of that specific group.
@ no DEI was created to push an agenda.
Which isn’t always a white man.
Minorities don't know how to use LinkedIn to apply?
Didn't Earn It.
👍
DEI should have been DOA from the start.
I find all of the benefits of DEI that Anne Chow spouted off in her clip to be highly suspect. Do you suddenly feel energized and inspired to work harder because the people around you are a different color? 73% more likely to reap innovation revenue? that is an eye popping number with no evidence.
yeah, imagine saying something along the lines of "people of different skin color have different capacity to each other", almost like they're different tools. It's almost like a line from eugenics
they never have evidence.
I would like to ask her if she’d like a pilot hired based on DEI initiatives flying her around
Also, like 2 minutes later they go on to say "oh it can't be quantified but it's still important." But you're throwing around these crazy statistics that you're saying is quantified, so which is it?
The only thing DEI has done for me that’s been positive is that they did a review of all lateral colleagues with the same job and title as me, found that the 3 guys on my team were making more than me… I ended up with an immediate pay raise to be within a predetermined +\- within their salaries. Being a female, I’ve always suspected that my colleagues were getting paid more and despite having a female boss who talks about advocating for women all the time, I was super disappointed.
Were you on par with length of work experience, tenure time with the company etc?
@@franciscodanconia4324 probably not.
Didn't Earn It. Hire the best people regardless of race.
NFL, NBA and MLB need to do DEI. Damn discrimination.
The last statement was very narcissistic: the better off I am, the better off other people are!! No that's absolutely not true.
I don't think you understood that. Let me clarify. As a collective which we all live in, one form or another, a betterment of one person impacts others in small ways. Think of a good mood for example. This isn't about ego. You're being rather black/white. Pun intended.
We have an entire department of DEI hires. The entire building has no clue what they do.
They “look” the part..
DEI should be banned. Inclusion should not be exclusion.
Awe... you just miss the good old days, where everything was white as snow ❄️. 🤓
Who is doing the hiring? A white person? That is who they will hire.
Because it is stupid and people hired not based on skills.
That's not true....dei is for not only minorities in race but also veterans and disabled people.
Why was dei embraced you may ask. Because there have been countless studies that showed that companies hired more white males than other minority groups. Including guardsmen, minorities, and disabled people.....even when those people had similar skillets or even better qualifications. But you don't care about that.....
Nepotism. Try and be a POC in the workplace. You’ll never understand.
people arent hired based on skill. who is doing the hiring? a white guy? that is who they will hire.
Who is doing the hiring? A white person? That is who they will hire.
But then you hire with the thought of "potential" and discount past mistakes, which heavily favors white men.
The DEI advocate lady has incredibly flawed logic… for example, saying “the better off I am the better of everyone else is” is purely self serving. That is true of some people, but not all people. I can think of many evil people throughout history who that would not apply to.
She also says “more people now have permission to be anti-DEI” meaning people previously did not have permission to be against hiring based on skin color.
Do not foget the companies who did DEI, and do not forgive. If you were turned down for a job in the last five years, now is the time to begin filing lawsuits.
she never talked to Asians applying to Harvard and what affirmative action did to them
@@benjamindover4337did you not watch the video? The majority of companies are still in favor of DEI. Good luck on your lawsuit.
Yeah, what she didn't take into consideration is that she was given the position over a more qualified person. Her gain is that person's loss, so her statement is false.
DEI for the sake of meeting quotas doesnt work. Merit should be prority over idenity.
But if the "merit" being measured automatically favors certain groups (like "career potential" which biases against women), it's not any better.
Ask China how they're doing with promoting Party members on the "merit" of (falsified) GDP growth and ideological loyalty.
Unfortunately the DEI hires (especially in HR) will take a generation to fully purge.
DEI in HR are the downfall of great companies
Funny how the same people who hate DEI initiatives don’t have the same energy and hatred for nepotism?
@@U4rikSound DEI & Nepotism are equal. Equally bad
Start suing these companies. It's the only way they will be held accountable.
you can fire them, but they're prone to sue. And there are powerful activist organizations that will jump in and pay for the lawyers, likeSouthernPoverty Law. It's all they do all day, is sue companies over skin color.
DEI is the most BS thing i have ever heard......
Good hire on merit alone.
You should sit down and think more. It's hard, I'm sorry.
Wish my company got the memo.
Please show me these studies that proof a „diverse“ (different looking) group works better? We need diverse thoughts regardless how the people look like.
So what is a better way to achieve that than DEI apart from requesting the search history of every applicant? Hiring from a wider variety of social groups will lead to more homogeneous living experiences and hence "diverse thoughts".
amazon found that diverse warehouses are less likely to unionize. less cohension
@@NoraSundman And none of that DEI mumbo jumbo is proven to increase a company's bottom line.
@@jpmeyer09 That's perfectly fine, since you don't need skill for warehouse workers, ergo its not really a merit based hiring need.
@@NoraSundman When you own a business, YOU use DEI to hire people. Go ahead. Other people will run their businesses how they see fit
DEI for professional sports. I don’t see enough Asian people in NBA, NFL, etc.
Yes because DEI is racist.
No it's not. Some minorities are less likely to get certain jobs. That is like saying it's not fair that the person with the broken leg gets crutches.
if you're insecure
As a female lead engineer in a gas company, I worked my way up to my position. If I was put into my position due to my gender, that would ruin my determination. I know I’m good at what I do and I deserve this position, but I’ve seen hires for entry level engineers who cannot keep up even with training and support but check DEI boxes. You’re hurting us more than helping us, in most cases.
My kid, a white girl, applied to the local whole foods, hoping for a pay raise from the McDonald's where she had worked all through high school. The McD's was and is highly diverse, by the way; my daughter was one of the two wihte people working there; the rest are Latino or Haitians. Nothing wrong with that; she learned to get along with all types, and they were all nice to her as well. But the whole foods, man... they rejected her application with no explanation. But her classmate, an afri caname rican, was hired the next day, with zero work experience. It was what we used to call racial discrimination but today it's politely known as DEI. Hire the diversity option no matter how unqualified because they "deserve" it. And guess what kind of lesson that teaches young people, that life is unfair, that skin color is what gets you in the door. Just like we're back in fcking 1950.
That sucks but would it have been an easier pill to swallow if a white male with no experience was hired instead of your daughter? Their could be more to that situation. Was the classmate also a girl? This could be a situation where the boss was more attracted to the other one and will probably get fired for harassment down the line. Maybe your daughter dodged a bullet?
@@ahunt1054 If the white male had zero experience then that would sting. A girl with several years of McD's experience (and anyone in retail/food can tell you, if you can hack 3-4 years at McD's, you can work anywhere) is passed over for someone with zero experience is one thing. The fact they also had "preferential" skin tone is doubly suspicious. But guess what. Due to her years in the work force as a young teen, she has the grit and mental toughness to just move on and not complain about it. Frankly, when I was her age, I was a total snowflake. She'll do okay in life, I predict. That boy who got the free ride at wf... not so much.
anecdotes are not evidence.
Have you thought that maybe it had something to do with your daughter's availability? If they were both in high school and the other girl had better availability then your daughter then as an employer I would pick the other girl over your daughter as well. I'm assuming your daughter was already working at McD's while the other girl had no job, meaning that the other girl is available to work immediately (which seems like the case based on your comment), while there might have been some delay with you daughter since she was still working at McDs. Allso, work experience basically is irrelevant in an entry level job like Whole Foods where all you do is tending the cash which can be taught to someone in less then a day.
@@ahunt1054 She said application. She didn’t clarify if they made it to the interview part. And most managers at Whole Foods are part of the alphabet community. So I doubt that would happen.
maybe focus on qualifications and experience rather than race and gender
Whoa, hey now. Easy with that "common sense" stuff.
@@jeremiahm1413 LOL
Bc white people focus on race, and men focus on gender.
They should remove race from applications as well.
Didn't Earn It (DEI). For any thinking mind, it's racism with extra steps
Meritocracy is KING! DEI is an example how to mess up something positive like diversity and inclusion. Absolute failure.
I don't think I have ever seen DEI add value to any project I've worked on
Where are all the unqualified employees going to go as meritocracy returns? There are going to be a LOT of DEI grifters looking for real work
mom's basement
dedication, energy, intelligence
As a racist, I liked DEI 😂
It’s ok to hire diverse people if they are the best qualified option for a job opening. Otherwise companies are not maximising their profitability. In this time every dollar counts.
Highly agree to you comment
We should hire who is best for the job. But let’s not deny like “best”historically has typically been defined as white and male.
Exactly! We literally have a convicted felon as president! Regardless of political affiliation, that’s a joke! I hope employers start removing that question if you have been convicted of any felonies
In your mind
@ oh please. You had a convicted celebrity who had no political experience prior to his first administration.
@@gf1227no, In reality and in the numbers.
there's a reason DEI is a thing at all. I of course agree job should be based on skill, but getting rid of DEI doesn't ensure that either. At the same time I agree you can't have some thing artificially distributing workers based on anything outside of what's desired for a job. Maybe get rid of DEI and see how it goes. Things have changed enough I think that people and companies can sort it out on their own. Companies just want to make money and people want good jobs.
2:27 This isn't really a fair assessment of Asian representation. Almost all of them are Indian and very few east Asians.
we conservatives aren't against more minority representation we just want people to be employed based on merit skills not bc of what ethnicity someone is or what color
Exactly, but the left is all about victimization, they literally have no identity outside of being victims
POC of color arent being hired bc of their race, and you know that. However, white people are being hired bc of their race.
How does it feel to speak on behalf of everyone else, including losing your own voice in that cloud.
“Probably not going to do very well in the marketplace.” Let the company and the market decide how to handle their business. Not the government.

DEI, also known as systemic racism.
Swapping out one group think for another group think is neither progressive nor revolutionary
Social Marxism
Who is doing the hiring? A white person? That is who they will hire.
Tech companies are leading the charge in quitting DEI and suddenly, quitting is becoming a trend. Perhaps they saw companies like Tesla/SpaceX/X who shunned DEI and emphasized on the old-fashioned meritocracy who also made great innovations.
Tesla is about to decline in coming 10 yrs.....within such yrs it would be acquired by other big giants.
Tesla being replaced by other EV brands in both Asia and europe
X is already loosing 1 million followers every month.
Without consumers....how come company has the success.
Just wait and watch
DEI is not very efficient but tesla/X are worse at their business model.
I find it so heartwarming to see all the comments on this video recognizing the dangers of basing hires on race or other such factors. Your own race or background doesn't automatically mean you will be the best choice for a position. Black businesses fail in black neighborhoods, white businesses fail in white neighborhoods, so on and so forth. Good businesses have some other quality, and that quality is what people should be looking for. Not race.
And when faced with 5 equally good candidates who you cant reasonable compare further based on merit with any sort of accuracy everyone will default to their own biases. Which are based on "on race or other such factors" as you put it. So in the end you do get the very thing you are against without DEI. Although it does favor you if you are part of the majority demographic. As you have the highest chance of recruiters being biased in your favor and to the detriment of slightly more qualified minorities. Also this doesnt even only apply to bias regarding race/gender or any other minority status but also attractiveness as that has been proven through studies to also be a bias in hiring. The only reasonable alternative is some kind of interview in which all of your demographic hints are gone. Think of a VR environment with an unrepresentative avatar and an LLM AI voice changer that changes everything from pitch, resonance, vowel pronunciations, speech patterns etc.. Something similar must also be done for your movements, gestures and facial expressions. Or alternatively communication through something similar to Stephen Hawkings speech synthesizer with an additional layer of AI speech pattern filtering. Like which one do you prefer?
@@fasctic3922 Well, racial discrimination is supposed to be illegal. I agree that the system doesn't work now, but instead of swinging the pendulum of racial preference, why not just make it so that employers cannot request your race?
Further, as previously mentioned, I think any form of hiring based on race is problematic. Your assertions that I am pushing for people to be racist in another way is simply false. Two negatives don't make a positive, and encouraging other forms of choosing someone through race doesn't solve the actual issue that people are biased. Let's instead focus on the actual root issue, no?
Lastly, I know it's a complicated matter, and I know I cannot address any serious systemic issue in a comment section. It'd take too much time, and I don't get paid for it, so I'll leave this here.
@@joev3783 What about job interviews? They will see what race you are?
@@icecreamhero2375 If I may, please allow me to spin this back on you. Why is it my responsibility to provide more detailed solutions here, when we both know larger companies will not be looking to my comment for solutions?
But in the interest of fairness, I'll give you my solution. In the chance you've never applied to any white-collar job, the first interview is almost always over the phone, and it is very difficult to identify someone's race over the phone. Plus it is statistically shown that racial bias has a much lower effect on people you have already met. This is a very basic solution to put in place.
@@joev3783 Some people of certain races do tend to have certain accents. I grew up on Amazing World of Gumball. We all knew Darwin was black. The actor used his natural speaking voice. There are some people who don't "sound their race".
Isn't judging people on the basis of their genetics IE women, skin color, sexual orientation what the little mustache man did in the 30s for his "final solution." Strange huh.
Companies really be doing everything except paying ppl fairly
You mean it’s more feasible to hire someone based on competency instead of race and gender who would have guessed that?!?! 🙄
Hope so
The "idea" and intent are virtuous. But it's horribly implemented. Basically, just giving black and LGBTQIA "representation". So it just becomes racial, gender, sexual orientation discrimination.
I agree that it should be Merritt based ... but as a black person I know i will be and have already got passed on for opportunities
ive come to just deal with it.
The education field is getting bad with the DEI, especially positions like Principals

Oh wait CNBC - You forgot to mention the CEI scoring system that was shoved down every companies throat and if you didn't participate, you were punished. How convenient that you didn't include this in your video.
Blackrock wants to force social marxism while having hyper capitalism at the same time.
Companies were given better loan rates and government assistance for implementing DEI. Free money to corporations to meet a “quota” for Diversity isn’t the way.
DEI is just racism
Taking away the estate from the slave-owner and giving it to the slaves is racism?
Totally off topic, but why do so many channels have scenes like 3:48 where they show information on a tv or laptop? CNBC have used that same tv with different clips placed in it on other videos. why not just go fullscreen, rather than showing a screen for me to watch on my screen?
I'm looking forward to a screen in a screen in a screen

Awesome video, Gracias,! I think the market is over-heated. And I am concerned that people are focusing less on fundamentals and just chanting the mantra of dollar cost averaging and driving the market higher without considering fundamentals. It is a catch-22 for me. I mean I like crypto prices going higher but also buying over-priced market and ETFs. Personally, I have stopped buying growth ETFs- they are ridiculously over-valued. Dividend crypto and ETFs are a little better but they are still over-valued. There is some hope with small and mid caps. I am not sure they are undervalued but at least they are less over-valued..This pattern offers a valuable insight for strategic planning. Despite these trends, i have delve deeply into active trading and managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 432k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Haley Eleanor , whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.

Selection should always be based solely on merit. This ensures that opportunities are awarded to the most qualified individuals, fostering fairness and excellence.
The merits measured aren't always economically rational though. Some are subtle like "career potential" which discounts women. Some are more blatant like Party loyalty in China.
Same should be done for women in STEM
NBA gonna have DEI also?
Sports is objective. You either score more points or you don't.
Leadership and other opportunities in corporate America 🇺🇸 on the other hand, are subjective.
It all comes down to who something thinks is a "right" fit. 🤓
Why no mention of Matt Walsh’s film AM I RACIST? It should have been cited in this piece.
The final quote: "The better off I am, the better off other people are" describes the capitalist trickle down effect. I don't think she fully understood what she said there.
DEI = ❌ racism
Merit = ✅ fair
This story doesn’t remotely explain what DEI means in a practical sense. Connect the dots.
When one person on the video says DEI budgets are being cut because, “they don’t bear fruit”, what exactly does he mean?
What are the metrics that tell you DEI is actually improving innovation? Are the effects tangible? Are there examples that highlight the cause and effect relationships?
What do employees like about their company’s DEI policies, and what don’t they like?
How much of the backlash on DEI is driven by the use of overpriced training programs and consultants that promote divisive and unproven critical race and critical gender theory ideas?
Can some parts of DEI be cut while other parts are saved?
Still trying to hold on to a bad idea?.. just look at the comments here.. “a thousand Frenchmen can’t be lying”
@@briandetommaso1793
I was pointing out the flaws in the video, not holding out hope for DEI. I know full well they don’t have answers to my questions. There are no dots for them to connect. I just wish they’d admit it.
DEI seems like kind of a scam.
I’m Latino, and I don’t need DEI to succeed, I’m highly skilled in my field and am well compensated. I’m also tired as a consumer to have an agenda shoved down my throat by every company I interact with, just make quality products, I don’t care about your political stances.
What ever happnened to diversity of thought, background and experience? Personally, I find that the most effective organizations are those that not only bring together people of varied backgrounds and thoughts, but also cultivate inclusive environments where contributions are valued on both merit and the unique perspectives others bring. Tempering a hybrid approach that integrates merit-based criteria is essential if we want meaningful impact that addresses structural biases as well as upholding high standards in the workplace.
A bunch of goobledygook. People don't have "unique" perspectives. If they did, what use would they be?

I want the companies who provide me services and goods to have the greatest and best people in their business. That will help everyone to get what they need from these companies. I don't want a bad seed to ruined my purchases.
My problem with how this is reported is there was a boom that is now shrinking. It doesn't mean companies are walking away of diversity and inclusion as part of their corporate culture. It just means they didn't see value in paying someone to oversee it.
Merit base is essential for a healthy society growth
The level of desperation in their talking points when attempting to defend their racist agenda is pathetic, it sounded flat since the first second 😆
If DEI is really that good, then it doesn't need DEI activists to force companies to do it. Instead, the companies would have done it themselves
I’m just always fascinated by the fact that how they don’t even realize that a forced diversity directly contradicts with the second word of DEI: equity, and it is actually textbook definition of racism or sexism.
I think the problem is describing corporate DEI initiatives as a "social issue." That's misleading. It's not.
While some companies embraced DEI as a way to drive more fairness in their hiring, others used as a way to open up their talent pool to people they would not have considered in the past. And that is a competitive edge.
Again, the test of DEI's usefulness is what happens to companies that don't do it compared to those that do. If it's truly a competitive edge, we'll find out in a few years or so. If it's not, then really, no one wants to be hired purely based off their skin colour. Plus I wouldn't want to work in a company that would overlook my competence and skills just because of my skin colour anyway, so either way, it works out for everyone.
Yes please
When you stop hiring based on skill and experience, you get the worse outcomes you are getting now from companies and school graduates
