Once they finally realized that their major customers were…unimpressed with heir DEI initiatives, Deere and Company were smart enough to backtrack immediately and not double down on pissing off their largest group of buyers….
It isn’t so much Diversity Equity and inclusiveness….more promoting gay. lesbian/whatever lifestyles…..they were actually guilty of discriminating against black and hispanic people.
Why is it that a small minority of gay and other types get so much influence?
Why is it that “Other than white” people get so much money spent on them when success is simply hard work showing up on time (and regularly) and sober?
It isn’t like any larger employers care what color of skin you have in most places, they simply want a person who will show up, sober, on time, regularly, who will be productive. Few companies care what color you are, who your ancestors were, who you sleep with, or what religion you have (as long as you don’t use it to cause issues).
Deere chose…wisely in not pushing this.
Meritocracy over DEI, how dare they!!!
The people who want DEI and are shoving it down our throats do NOT give up that easily. They will simply take those efforts underground and continue imposing it….just in a less blatant manner.
Of course, Deere IS moving some of their operations to Mexico… I’m hearing “Juan Deere” out there now…
Nice alliteration in your title! John Deere took the TSC route and backed off as soon as they got called out. But unfortunately they will be producing in Mexico, likely with Chinese steel.
