How will J&J respond to Trump and DEI rollbacks?

I’ve always appreciated J&J and their commitment to be inclusive. I was happy a few years ago when the language was tougher, around equity and intentionality. The leaders seem to realize that to help the marginalized, you have to make the oppressed uncomfortable. Reading lists were provided, X kendi and all of the more deliberate work.

Then it seemed to drop off and now with Trump and his anti-DEI talk, I have no clue where the company stands. Do we expect guidance soon?

You should go work at a non profit lefty organization, not J&J

J&J values DEI and the work of notable people like X Kendi. I got into more revolutionary work through my organization’s DEI club and reading lists. As a global organization, we should be pushing back on facism. I’d like to see some guidance on how j&J will stand up for DEI.

Who in the hell at J&J is oppressed? I'll wait...

If you're in the Irvine location, there's a clear favoritism to Hispanics. Entire departments where only Hispanics are promoted/hired.

That’s good though, the workforce should reflect the communities they serve. That’s a J&J stated belief. People want to be comfortable being served by people who look like them
 








Follow the money kids. J&J as well as other companies pushed DEl because they received funding for it. With that revenue now gone with the new administration, these programs are dropping like flies. Except of course for J&J where the inmates are running the asylum now and have yet to "woke up"

Oh, give it a rest. Enjoy a glass of wine. Stop looking for misery under the DEI microscope.

We had a minority President. We have minority doctors, scientists, and engineers. Do we really still need this crutch for special treatment? We have a level playing field where everyone may compete based on their merits and performance. Jose the customer wants the best people making his drugs regardless of their gender or color, not the most diverse. Of the most qualified person is a minority woman then she should get the job, not because she is a minority woman. How much longer are you asking to keep DEI? Basically forever. I would want to keep it forever too. As long as we keep DEI policies people will wonder if that’s why you got the job or the promotion. Seriously. It kills your credibility. MLK said we should not discriminate based on color but that’s what DEI does. Are minorities and women afraid that they cannot compete on a level playing field? Really? The white Wonder bread comments just show jealousy and hate. You should love everyone, including white people. I hope some J&J investors & customers see this post.

This post is NOT wrong. Well stated.

This 1000%. If there were financial benefits (finding, tax breaks, etc) for J&J to push DEI, J&J will drop DEI like a hot potatoe. With the cash flow problems, revenue and sales problems, no way this non-sense continues.

People will continue to hire like themselves. Find a white blonde woman in the IT department. Go for it. I’ll wait.

5 years ago, leaders were rewarded on the number of black and Hispanic hires. Actually rewarded on their bonuses for the NUMBER…yes the number of people who were hired and promoted up through the ranks to Director and Senior Director levels. Friend in the company actually started using her maiden name in the system because it was Hispanic. Her father was Spanish and grew up in France. She is 1K% French but on paper appears to be a Latino and the HR 24 year old intern just looked at names.
