      It completely is. So is affirmative action which is why the courts just took it down.
      The problem we have today is that the justice system is also corrupt. People assume because the Biden admin pushed policies via executive orders and actions, that they must be legal.
      The only real answer to this DEI abomination is to start suing these companies and the government.

      Don't quit Costco so fast. They have MERIT at the same time. DEI refers to hiring, but after hiring, the Costco merit evaluation program then fires the non-meritorious DEI hires. I've seen it happen at my local Costco. The hiree is sort of lackluster, and the next times I come back, that employee is completely gone. So having a strong merit-based evaluation program allows Costco to have a DEI hiring process.

      Hold on a second. I'm a big fan of Costco, and this news irked me a bit. But then I thought, wait a second. Everybody I've ever dealt with at various Costco locations has been great! I'd say far above average for the service industry. So why boycott a company that is doing exactly what I want them to do? Provide good service and products! Why does their policy matter if it manifests itself in great customer service? If they hired lazy sloppy people just for the sake of being diverse, that would be different... but why punish a good company for being good?

    The DEI program at Costco is starting to show, as a member, products and services as well as prices have been on the decline, which means higher prices and lower quality. It’s a shame too, because Costco is really popular, they need to lose DEI and replace it with a merit system that rewards everyone who puts in the time and effort to make Costco legendary. The DEI decision show at the executive level, not the retail level and how it impacts the retail level.
