I can't be the only one noticing all the DEI jobs starting to dry up.

They went from "we're actively searching for diverse candidates who represent our commitment to inclusivity" to "our team would like to see more examples of your past work to show how you'll fit into our workflow" ....with mass layoffs in between.
Oh, for sure. That was a 2020 thing. Everything they promised, they never followed through with. That means that they don’t need to hire consultants to help them implement programs they never intended to make reality anyway.
Yep. And the ones staffed are being laid off and the programs underfunded and no real work gets done. Surprised? No.
I'm still recruiting for them on the regular in govt but they usually want background in govt even though people with that experience are avoiding DEI positions
I’ve applied to several dozen job openings but im just not getting interviews.
Yeah I have witness two dismissals of really good people and departments
that were not only unnecessary but wrong. Just waiting for safe landings so I can be real loud & boughetto about it.

As a scholar in the area of race and religion, it's very noteworthy how few jobs in this and related areas there are in this job cycle compared to the last job cycle (post-2020 budgets). The DEI money they were able to pull together in 2020 dried up.
Very much this👇🏿
And if DEI work is done in reaction to blatantly racist acts like the public execution of George Floyd, we’ll never get to a place of implementing solutions to PREVENT the next tragedy. We’ll just keep circling around the problem as we’ve been doing for decades.

They rarely do any good anyways.. just superficial movement or awareness, no rooted equity or liberation..
University of South Florida just announced we're hiring a VP if you know anyone.
I’m seeing lay-offs, closing open job reqs, and changing the role from Director to specialist. Implementation of goals went out the window with inflation. I feel like it got too uncomfortable so orgs called it “good enough.” It’s not good enough.
the company I was at laid the whole team off in their last round after claiming DEI was one of their core values
less sure these jobs are "drying up" rather than they're at a saturation point. companies, institutions, etc, have seemingly reached a point where they have comfortably relegated dei to hr, which is really what most of it ever was anyway. lots of thoughts & vibes with no teeth.
On another note, y'all were getting jobs??? Lol, the best the liberals here could offer was a part-time ✨️volunteer✨️ position with the (potential) to get a full-fledged position later on.
Ay no shade to this person but
This reminds me of that Ghaisguevara @GhaisGuevara lyric in "Patrisse Cullors stole my lunch money"
'What do you mean that
Because of your color of skin that
They didn't reserve you a spot'

I don’t believe companies ever wanted people in those positions who actually cared anyway. They wanted to look as if they cared.
Is there a partial silver lining that folks are staying in those positions? Or are companies really just doing away with it
Yup, and now I’m in constant fear that if my job has layoffs my team is the first to go.
Literally why I’m looking for a job in a new field cause I know my days are numbered 😔
It’ll be clear next year who prioritizes a diverse workforce, diverse projects and diverse voices.
We’re eager to read and assess the data from the massive layoffs this year — I’m sure it’s telling.

Yes. Guess we need another tragedy to be back on top of the priority list.
I mean, if folks can’t even mask to protect the immunocompromised, doing actual work towards equity & inclusion isn’t gonna happen. All the bullshit lip service has faded away. But, just like COVID, DEI still matters and we need it badly. 😔
Lol as a recently laid off DEI professional I can attest to this
