Summary
Costco shareholders voted overwhelmingly (98%) against a proposal by a conservative think tank, the National Center for Public Policy Research, to assess risks linked to the company’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
Costco’s board supported DEI initiatives, dismissing the proposal as partisan and unnecessary.
This rejection contrasts with trends in other companies scaling back DEI efforts.
The vote comes amid new federal rules from Trump targeting DEI initiatives in federal agencies, potentially impacting private vendors working with the government.
Is it really just my bosses when those minority or female employees repeatedly took advantage of the biases of those bosses once they realized how that power structure worked?
Every time we got a new hire and we saw them outside or doing shitty jobs like us we thought maybe they weren’t going to be the same but as soon as they realized they could suck up to the bosses and get outta shit constantly they would almost always take advantage of the preferential treatment. The few minority and female employees that also called them out for their shit also had their hours cut and had to leave for something else or transfer stores.
If you’re out there Ramona you were a real one homie.
Sounds like you’re not blaming your bosses, and are blaming the minority and female employees.
Blaming them for taking advantage of an imbalanced system for their own gain. Not blaming them for their race or gender. Come on now.
Yeah, what are women doing working when they should be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, am I right?
You’re blaming women and minorities for taking advantage of an inbalanced system but it has nothing to do with their gender or race? I agree, I blame the bosses.
What? Of course it has to do with their gender and race. The general manager was Hispanic and if he thought you were attractive and he could have inappropriate conversations with you in Spanish then you could basically get away with doing the bare minimum at that job. He would let them stay inside no matter the weather or how badly we needed hands outside. They never had to work any of the larger sections at the end of the night. They basically had full protection as long as they went along with his power tripping racist and sexist behavior.
Again I am blaming the shitty manager and his top level cronies for the biased treatment of some employees. I am also holding some of those employees responsible for recognizing that easy path and taking it.
If he was white and he was doting on all the white employees while he put all the minorities in the harder physical labor positions you would be up in arms.
Sounds like your bosses, yeah. They couldn’t do that if not for your bosses. They’re probably paid less too, making them more valuable to the company than an expensive white boy.
There it is lol.
Took you awhile to admit you’re just racist but I’m glad you got around to it.
Also no despite me being comically over qualified for that position I was paid less than the majority of the minority and female employees there.
You’re doing everything, including calling me a racist and telling me your bosses pay you less, to not blame your bosses. Do you understand how dense that looks?
… I blamed my bosses. I blamed all of upper management. I blamed the top corporate levels of the company.
YOU were the one that assumed I was a white guy and that I must be getting paid more simply because my gender and race. If that’s not textbook racism I don’t know what is.
In none of my comments did I said anything negative about any of my minority or female coworkers. I made one comment about how some of them sucked up to management when they realized they could get away with more by doing so, but that has nothing to do with racism or sexism on my part. That’s my judgment of their character for agreeing to go along with the sexist and racist managers at that store because it directly benefited them.
Sounds like you’re not blaming your bosses, and are blaming the minority and female employees.
