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?

    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.

        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.
