Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Have efforts to force Diversity, Equity and Inclusion #dei mandates on #business gone too far? Maybe!

ORGANIC diversity is a sign of a welcoming society and vibrant culture. FORCED diversity is a symptom of a dysfunctional society and totalitarian culture.

Here is what customers want: "a quality product at a competitive price."

Imagine just hiring people based on skill, ability and performance 😂

Hiring based on merit rather than DEI is the right way to go!

Wow, Tractor Supply, a positive step towards normalcy.

I had to leave my job because in leadership meetings, when we talked about who to hire, our hiring managers would say things like " no hiring white people" or "we need to hire only black people before we hire a white person" or "why have we not hired more people who identify as queer". When they did, they would be met with NPCs agreeing, clapping and nodding. I worked there for 9 years and took this abuse for 3 years because I was scared to leave. Finally left the role, and that was among the reasons, I have never felt better.

DEI encourages discrimination instead of hiring/admissions based on merit. This is what's wrong with the country. We need to stop giving people unfair advantages due to their race, gender or sexual orientation.

Social agendas only work when demanded by customers, not imposed on society by corporations and government.

What’s shocking is how Tractor Supply didn’t
take a lesson from Bud Light before frakking up their reputation.

Discrimination, Exclusion, Indoctrination

I yearn for the day when we judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.

Or the color of their pajamas.

Hiring COMPETENT employees is probably the best thing a business can do. Regardless of their social standing.

They went from caring about hot air to preserving actual drinking water! 🙏 thank you Tractor Supply Co.

Tractor Supply went too far with DEI though. The CEO needs to go.

The best business advice Kevin has ever given. Businesses DO NOT forget what your #1 responsibility is: satisfying your customer. If your products, services, actions and processes do not align with your #1 responsibility, then eliminate them. This is how you create profit and stay in business.

"I want a radial tire that lasts 200, 000 miles in difficult terrain, improves my gas mileage, and holds up under intense heat and dry weather. And while you're at it, could you make sure all racial demographics have equal access to capital, education, housing, and healthcare?" said nobody, ever.

Why did TSC do this in the first place? They knew who their customers were. They knew what would happen. Why did they do it?

[geldo]

Kevin was my favorite shark. This just solidified it.

What will corporations ever learn that politics and business don't mix?

*It's almost like the Tractor Supply executives took a close look at what happened to Target and Bud Light last year and said to each other, **_"Let's do the exact opposite of what they did, so instead of losing billions in revenue by alienating our customers like they did, perhaps we can make a few extra billions by deeply endearing ourselves to our customers..."_* 🤔
