Google tells employees why it’s ending DEI hiring goals

Alex Heath from The Verge states, “The rationale is linked to Google being a federal contractor and “recent court decisions and U.S. Executive Orders on this topic”. Many people already feel a certain negative way about Google being a federal contractor. This just rubs salt into the wound even more.

Though Google said it “would maintain its resource groups for underrepresented employees." Google has had many issues in the past about diversity, equity, and inclusion. I’ll be closely watching Google’s “Belonging” site and any changes there that the team, lead by Melonie Parker, makes.
