All anyone had to do was sit through one all-hands with the DEI consultant running through a slide deck that was clearly unaltered aside from the logo in the top left to understand how much of a scam it was.

Two reasons for the speed of the switch.

The first is preference falsification Cascade.

The second is the fact that businesses are legally obligated through their fiduciary duty to maximize value for shareholders. Many of these Dei programs couldn't logically be justified through the lens of maximizing shareholder value, so once they were no longer legally mandated, in a sense, there was a pre-existing legal mandate to remove them.

No, no one really liked those programs. But there was no choice. Now there's a choice and you can see where they stand.
