Guys, are we finally going to feel safe in the air again? Is Boeing finally going to get their crap together?
According to Bloomberg, the new CEO at Boeing is saying "bye-bye" to DEI.
Sing it with me now...
Boeing Co. has dismantled its global diversity, equity and inclusion department, making it the latest high-profile corporation to make changes to its DEI policy as its new top leader oversees a broader revamp of the company's workforce ...
'The team achieved so much โ sometimes imperfectly, never easily โ and dreamed of doing much more still,' Bowen (former DEI VP) wrote in a farewell post on LinkedIn.
You've gotta chalk this up as a culture war victory for non-wokies. The DEI brand has become so obviously toxic, and so obviously an albatross around corporations necks, that they are systematically destroying the race Marxism departments that held them captive.
Boeing isn't the first major company to see the damage done by DEI politics and get rid of it.
And, once again, we have our favorite Tennesseean Robby Starbuck largely to thank.
Boeing's new Chief Executive Officer Kelly Ortberg is streamlining the planemaker's operations and trimming its executive ranks as part of a broader 10% reduction in headcount. The shift also comes as large US companies face increasing pressure from conservative activists to dismantle or downplay their efforts on diversity, equity and inclusion ...
Anti-DEI activist Robby Starbuck, who claims credit for convincing Toyota Motor Corp. and Harley-Davidson Inc. to scale back DEI, said he had reached out to Ortberg and board chair Steve Mollenkopf by e-mail earlier this month to alert them he was considering an online campaign against their diversity programs.
Oh no, conservatives asked Boeing to worry more about KEEPING PLANES IN THE AIR than about fake and useless diversity goals.
What evil haters they are!
The company added that it prohibits discriminatory hiring practices and maintains 'a merit-based performance system with procedures aimed at encouraging an equality of opportunity, not of outcomes.'
Well that's great news.
I might actually be able to get on a Boeing airplane and feel like I'll make it to my destination now!
