minus-squareNocturnalMorning@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·16 hours agoThe DEI order was for federal workers. Is google a federal employer? Answer is an emphatic no. They may have contracts, but that’s entirely different than being a federal agency. None of this DEI crap has flowed down to us contractors.
minus-squareWamGams@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·16 hours agoYes, it has. Going forward, they are handing the contracts to the firms who don’t need to be told the state of play. This is what is called “prior consent.” The companies who dont make these announcements are the ones who will be targeted. This is chilling.
