McDonald’s abandons major ‘woke’ policy as latest American brand to cave to conservative backlash
McDonald's abandon 'woke' policy: brand caves to conservative backlash
A lot of companies have pulled out of DEI efforts but NOT ONE has said it was because the efforts wasted money or brought in bad people or actually did anything negative to the company.
And why do you think that is?
Lol you're still slithering in the fediverse
Yep! Looks like your little schemes of tracking me, spreading lies about me being a paid Russian asset, and betting on me disappearing after the election didn’t work.
Not only am I still here, but I’ve spread out across multiple instances to make sure I can’t be silenced by people like you. Didn't even have to change my username.
And by the way, I was right. Trump was rising in the pre-election polls—remember when you all said I was just posting lies and propaganda when I shared those articles?
Maybe instead of trying to censor voices, you all should have focused on actually winning votes. lol
Oh, and I’m still glad I voted third party. Funny how I’m now seeing all over Lemmy that people are talking about supporting third parties because they feel the Dems let them down.
How’d that whole “let’s keep track of Universal Monk and brigade downvote him” plan work out for ya? Oh wait, it didn't!
I'm still posting whatever I want, whenever I want, wherever I want. Just like I said I would. hahahahahaha
Thanks, friend! :)
Interesting how your mask came off the minute trump won just like everyone said it would.
You just said the community effort which successfully got you banned didn't work. So unless you've got some secrets to admit to outright instead of just implying that, looks like you're absolutely wrong about that. You went from posting every 10 minutes literally to like once every 10 days.
Translation: Trump won, so obviously we don't have to pretend anymore.
Kowtowing dogs, the lot of them
And yet, everyone keeps going there. Let’s be honest, they only did it because they thought it was what everyone wanted while the Dems were in power.
Now they’re changing it again because the leadership is shifting. Why can’t companies just make decisions based on what they actually want to do, without pandering to politics?
That could mean embracing DEI initiatives or ignoring them entirely—I’m fine with either choice. It’s the performative gestures, done just for appearances, that bother me.
I will say that the Bud Light fiasco was the most irritating to me. They literally did it just because that's the wave they thought people were going for. Soooo funny when that backfired bigtime.
They shouldn’t have pretended in the first place. That’s the whole reason behind the pushback and disdain for "woke" policies. It’s obvious that many companies do it just to appease a vocal minority because they think it will boost profits. How about we stop that, regardless of the choice?
