Tim Cook is the CEO of a company with $3.6 trillion in market cap. Dude literally offered a portion of his liver to Steve Jobs. What have you done with your life? You’re a IB VP who has time to troll on WSO? Clearly no Director promo coming your way…

Huge difference between being anti DEI because you value meritocracy (which btw is how Cook got to where he is) vs throwing slurs around just cuz some dude (that doesn’t even know that you exist) likes dudes

 

Def could possibly see some change. However would be cautious of thinking this is long term win - these guys are just following the political winds of the time. Meritocracy all the way but I personally find it far scarier that CEOs of the companies that dictate so much of our lives didn’t have a backbone to stand up for what they believed in (whether they were anti DEI, but capitulated under Dem President, or are pro DEI and are now capitulating under Trump presidency).

 

In 2020-2022, being "woke" was big business. In 2024-2026, being "anti-woke" will be big business. In other words, don't trust those who were "woke" in 2020-2022 and are “anti-woke" now .

 

Anyone with any rational mind, hates both. 

I guess a lot of people here aren't, as the biggest DEI haters are most likely nepo hires (sometimes without realising). Their issue isn't "handouts" but the fact that they're no longer the sole beneficiary of a slightly easier recruiting process.

Once DEI is curtailed, there will be those who are ethnic minorities / LGBT / any other DEI metric who still get the top jobs based on merit and half of these complainers will look for another excuse to justify the "unfairness" going on.
