Google joins Meta and Amazon in rolling back their DEI policies. Google sent an email to employees on Wednesday announcing its decision. The company is “evaluating changes to our programs required to comply,” read the email, obtained by the Journal. “We’ll continue to invest in states across the U.S. — and in many countries globally—but in the future we will no longer have aspirational goals,” Google’s Chief People Officer Fiona Cicconi wrote.

The company has “always been committed to creating a workplace where we hire the best people wherever we operate, create an environment where everyone can thrive, and treat everyone fairly. That’s exactly what you can expect to see going forward,” the email said. Additionally, Alphabet, Google’s parent company, omitted a sentence about how the company was “committed to making diversity, equity, and inclusion part of everything we do” from its annual report that came out Wednesday. The sentence had appeared in its reports from 2021 through 2024, according to the outlet.
His executive order states: “The Biden Administration forced illegal and immoral discrimination programs, going by the name ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ (DEI), into virtually all aspects of the Federal Government, in areas ranging from airline safety to the military.”. “I put safety first,” Trump claimed. “Obama, Biden and the Democrats put policy first, and they put politics at a level that nobody's ever seen because this was the lowest level.”.
