Layoffs disproportionately are effecting HR and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion teams

The original acronym was DIE

It’s almost, as if these departments add ZERO to the business bottom line.

Completely useless employees.
In fact, DEI are statistically a detriment to a company's bottom line.
Even major corporations need to watch their bottom line and not waste energies on departments that provide no real benefit to the company's mission, sans appeasing a few woke journalists.

You mean people who don’t generate revenue, even indirectly, are the first to go? Shocker

My first boss gave me great advice, told me to always stay close to the source of revenue as I progressed in my career.

And that doesn’t have to mean sales. All companies have a number of roles absolutely critical to revenue generation. Salespeople do need a product or service to sell after all

I have often wondered how the HR "Generalist" gets let go by another one when they are laid off.

Explain to me if I a wrong, but the jobs that unfairly fired people.. They would be told by the companies to work for to fire them right? They were just doing the company's dirty work no?

HR can't just up and fire someone without consulting with legal or get word from their hirer up.. I assume??

So racist and ridiculous.

Companies are going to protect those who make them money. Period.

Yes, sales can be bloated, but that’s never where you start. No company is going to cut sales or any other critical execution areas because the HR team is more diverse. If you write that it’s because you have no actual idea how companies work
