FYI is stupid but it isn’t DEI it is DEIA, hateful conservatives didn’t want to attack minorities AND disabled people at the same time because they are pathetic cowards, so they drop the A when they bash DEI.
I am sure they all decided this in their big Asshole Bullies meeting, it is blatantly obvious.
It also confuses people because it is another (incorrectly spelled) acronomyn and that is always helpful when you are robbing the shit out of people.
The people who run these initiatives tend to be people who care, actually, in my experience. It’s DEI because DEI is the standard industry-wide term. Have you worked at a company that uses the DEIA initialism instead?
The motives matter because I am telling you that they would call it DEIA if it were considered better practice to do so, because the people in the company who take on these initiatives are the people who care enough to do it, and they try to get it right. Do you know people involved in such initiatives? Because I do. And they called it DEI when we used to talk about it. And they changed quite a bit about the initiative based on feedback from members of marginalized groups in the company, so they would have changed the way they referred to it (DEI => DEIA) as well. This is a common experience. The fact that it is called DEI by politicians is simply not a purposeful slight in this instance.

That may be true, but at actual companies the term DEI is almost always used, not DEIA, for internal initiatives.
Well now that we are on the topic, let us consider why large corporations and organizations do that?

I am not questioning the motives of any one particular person, I am asking why the system is the way it is.
Where did the A go?
