I remember when it started around 10 years ago, all of this hullabaloo - rainbow flags painted over company logos, everybody 'standing in solidarity' then came the abyss; pronouns.

Now it all seems to be getting swept under the carpet and forgotten about, companies seem to be just dropping this stuff - when at one point, it felt like it's all they cared about, (or maybe they were just trying to please investors, who wanted companies to be 'in trend' before they handed out cash...)

Getting rid of it feels like a step in the right direction, I was always slightly frightened and uneasy about DEI - I just want to go to work and do a good job, not be bashed over the head with a weird hammer, that had nothing to do with my role.

For the record I'm a gay guy and I don't like LGBT stuff being plastered all over company literature, because it feels artificial - I also think pronouns are stupid.
 
Companies cared so their stock would be part of ESG funds with the expectation that millennials would choose to invest their money ethically. Millennials didn't do that, probably because they don't have any money, but also because there's no point paying double the fees for a fund that performs worse than a regular one and doesn't actually deliver any ethical improvement.
 
Also DEI looked to be more of an USA thing. UK had abit of it like in government jobs but not full blown in the USA.
 
Nah its definitely still there. It's the stinking turd that just won't flush.
