Google and Verizon were under fire recently from the DOJ for not complying with the govt's anti-DEI stance quickly enough[0]. If these policies truly aren't in the companies best interests, they would've dropped the policies on Jan 20th. Instead, they chose to continue them. I don't see how this squares with your assertion that they don't want to continue following DEI in staffing.

Yes and yes. Individuals have their own political views. In tech, those are overwhelmingly liberal. It follows that they would implement liberal policies of their own accord. This isn't sucking up to some policy that happens to be favoured by trump, this is sucking up to trump himself.

Yes, I do.

“DEI bureaucracies” is a meaningless political term.

I am truly (not) sorry about whatever HR interaction has soured you.

Not everything every company does is related to US politics let alone that of the last 10 years. These “DEI bureaucracies” pre-date your “Biden administration”.

Believe it or not, there are many, many organisations that do not operate in or export to the US. Many of them have what I’m sure you would call “DEI bureaucracies”. What’s your explanation?
