‘Our Board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary,’ Costco stated

Summary

Costco’s board rejected a shareholder proposal to end its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, arguing they foster respect, innovation, and cultural alignment with customers and employees.

Shareholders claimed DEI could lead to lawsuits citing “illegal discrimination” against white, Asian, male, or straight employees, referencing legal cases like Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard.

Costco countered that its DEI efforts comply with the law and enhance its culture, rejecting claims of legal risk.

The proposal will be voted on at Costco’s January 23 shareholder meeting.

    Yes I really think men are more naturally inclined to do executive type roles. Men and women aren’t the same.

    I don’t really know how this jives with what you just wrote.

    Edit; you added a new section that honesty is just you trying to have your cake and eat it too

      Top 20 jobs held by men and women are the same list today as it was 100 years ago prior to feminism. Men tend to do certain jobs and women tend to do other jobs. This has rang true all throughout human history. It’s nothing to do with prejudice against women.
