Well, my ex-employer just paid the DOJ $17 million for continuing its DEI policies it has had for decades.

2. This is pathetic.

I worked for IBM for over over 30 years. I was hired in 1982. I was known as a "professional hire": i.e. unlike many IBMers of that era who started with IBM right out of college and expected to retire there, I had worked for 4 other IT companies. The companies I had worked were quite similar; women worked in data entry (keypunch) and admin. Computer operators and programmers were male. Women might be a manager of data entry but over 90% of management was male. IBM was different. In my experience women and men were treated equally. I had good and bad managers of both genders. My peers were about 60% male, but Senior Technical Staff Members (STSM) included both male and female superstars. I liked IBM's HR policy and didn't care if it was called affirmative action or DEI or whatever. Now, thanks to Trump's fascist policy IBM has ended it's decade's long policies and paid the $17 million ransom required to do business in this country. This is pathetic.
