    I work at Lowe’s, and here in the Deepest South, we have a wildly diverse staff. Black, gay, Hispanic, kids on their first job, old folks staying busy, all kinds. They do seem to lean heavily on hiring vets, but that falls under DEI.

    I should note: Our CEO is black. Don’t know anything about the guy, but I do like listening to him talk. I don’t get any sense of BS or fake corpo talk. Only been there 2 months but I’m a little taken aback by the lack of corporate BS. LOL, it ain’t exactly heaven, but better than expected.

    The retailer also will no longer participate in an annual survey by the Human Rights Campaign that measures workplace inclusion for LGBTQ+ employees, and will also stop sponsoring and participating in events, such as festivals and parades, that are outside of its business areas.

    I don’t have a problem with this. Aren’t we always bitching about rainbow capitalism? I’d rather a company drop it than fake it.
