I guess John Deere decided it can’t let Tractor Supply outflank them when it comes to respecting the values of its customer base, and today John Deere released a ‘Dear John’ letter to DEI nonsense (though you have to read between the lines a bit to see that’s what’s happening):
Equally notable today is that Microsoft is apparently disbanding its entire DEI apparatus:
Microsoft recently laid off its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) team. According to an internal email sent by the team’s leader first spotted by Business Insider, the former team lead indicated the department was disbanded due to “changing business needs.”
In the email, the former team lead further accused Microsoft’s top management of “investigated and evidenced discrimination, harassment, and toxicity.” The email also details the DEI’s efforts at Microsoft which help move “impossible mountains” and foster “brilliant, ethical, and world-class strategists at the company, helping to make the world a better place.”
When progressive Microsoft throws DEI under the bus, you know that a preference cascade is building in corporate America to get rid of this insidious nonsense. More and more corporations are going to decide that they don’t want to be outliers facing the wrath of customers and shareholders for coddling this divisive and expensive elite luxury belief.
