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.

    they realized they could suck up to the bosses and get outta shit constantly they would almost always take advantage of the preferential treatment.

    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.

            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?
            

            Sounds like you’re not blaming your bosses, and are blaming the minority and female employees.
