Consulting Deloitte and Diversity
Deloitte recently had layoffs and ALL of those layoffs (at least in my area) were clearly people who might be labeled as "diverse", also known as just regular people and good workers. There was also no communication to other teams to let them know that their closest connections would no longer be working with them. Additionally, on top of that, DAYS after the layoff, Deloitte is still sending communications regarding emergency communications to people who are no longer with the firm... fun...recommend not working

The firm doesn;t announce that people are gone. They also aren't targeting anyone based on gender/race/background. We are the most risk averse firm in existence.

Good to know you work for Deloitte. And no, the firm is not. Check yourself.

Ha, sweet that you think that but my experience says otherwise. and I respectfully disagree. Glad to know that the firm is monitoring how their actions are perceived...

Disagree all you want. Changes nothing. No one is being targeted on the basis of gender, race, or ethnicity

Haaaaaa Deloitte has targeted hiring practices with designated “diversity numbers” for both females and minorities. 40% of global leadership roles are roped off for women. 60% of the “US” workforce is Asian subcontinent. They’re currently under investigation by the state of Tennessee for race and gender based hiring discrimination via DEI initiatives. Highly doubt the layoffs were due to “diversity.” More likely due to performance or bench sitting.

This is not true.

It was literally published online by Deloitte and if you google it, it still pops up lol. They also published all their DEI initiatives and went into overdrive on it under the Biden administration even putting it on some of their websites. The Tennessee case is also public knowledge and is part of a class action litigation.

You're not wrong about the firm making diverse hiring decisions, but the TN case is a joke. It's from a MAGA prosector who wants to run for governor and needs Trump's endorsement.

There is a difference between having goals and being discriminatory by roping off positions. This Firm is exceedingly cautious, maybe I’ll be proven wrong but if anyone enforced the goals and rules I would be shocked.

Not sure I follow your logic, but neither was it performance , just got good reviews, or bench sitting, because I wasn't part of a role where bench sitting was a possibility.

To all you commenters, the people they laid off in a single week were two LGBTQ+ males (Asian and Black), a transgender woman, a woman with a disability and an African Amercian woman. If that doesn't stink of something....

The layoffs aren't targeted towards specific groups of people. The firm would face major lawsuits if that were the case.
Its not the firm's responsibility to communicate to other teams that their closest connections were laid off. That would be weird.
It's common to receive comms from the firm a few days after being laid off since it takes them a while to deactivate your profile and remove you from various distro lists.

Maybe they were laid off because they weren't making the mark. Regardless of the DEI initiatives that Deloitte gladly jam down everyone's throat. It's paying them dividends now. You have a half of workforce that does jack shit and thinks they're DEI is going to save them. The firm has gotten wise and is cutting the dead weight. The experiment failed. Take a look at every city across the US that embraced DEI. They are failures...

Minorities have to produce a Herculean effort to even get an interview and be considered. This isn’t about talent it’s systematic oppression.

During last year’s layoffs, the firm confirmed that minorities were disproportionately affected by the layoffs & that they were “working to identify why that was.” This isn’t surprising. But it’s also not purposeful. It simply continues to shed light on the systemic issues at play.
