Google makes various job objectives after Trump’s crusade against Dei
Google has become the last major technological company to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives (DEI) following President Donald Trumpattacks on such programs.
As reported for the first time by the Wall Street JournalGoogle informed employees on Wednesday that it abandons hiring objectives intended to increase the recruitment of workers from under-represented groups. In an internal email, the Google HR chief, Fiona Cicconi, said that the company would no longer aim to improve a diversified representation in its workforce and re-evaluate its Dei programs.
“”[I]N 2020, we have set ambitious hiring objectives and we focused on the growth of our offices outside of California and New York to improve representation, “wrote Cicconi, as shared by the penis. “We will continue to invest in states of the United States – and in many countries in the world – but in the future, we will no longer have ambitious goals.”
CICCONI said its resource groups employed will remain. However, it seems that Google otherwise eliminates any mention of diversity, equity or inclusion.
Last week,, Google “belonging” web page explicitly declared that he was taking “targeted measures” to approach “the inclusion of disability”, “gender equality”, “LGBTQ +inclusion”, “racial equality” and “inclusion of veterans “. He also presented a quote from the Director of Diversity Melonie Parker, declaring: “The building belonging to everyone means ensuring that no one is left out and each person can prosper.”

The page has now been updated to delete any mention of the previous “key problems” from Google, replacing them instead by generic and wave promises to “better reflect the billions of people who use our products” and “[build] A google for all of us to build products useful for everyone. “”
“To build products that help billions of people to achieve their goals, we bring together talented people everywhere and allowing them to do their best,” says the new quote from Parker. While Parker is always listed as head of diversity on her Linkedin profileGoogle now calls it “VP, people’s operations” and has deleted its pronouns.

“I want to be clear: we have always been determined to create a workplace where we hire the best people wherever we operate, create an environment where everyone can prosper and treat everyone,” Cicconi said in his memo to Google employees.
“Each year, we examine the programs designed to help us get there and make changes. And because we are a federal entrepreneur, our teams also assess the changes in our necessary programs to comply with recent judicial decisions and decrees Americans on this subject. “
Trump has worked aggressively to dismantle the Dei programs since its entry into office on January 20, signing a Executive decree terminating all federal programs In one of his first acts as president. Google is not technically obliged to follow Trump’s anti-dei order, because it is not an American government entity. Nevertheless, it seems that the technology giant hopes that the follow -up will make it the right graces of Trump – as well as to help him keep his lucrative government contracts. Earlier this week, it was reported that Google has deleted its commitment not to use AI for weapons or surveillance.
The mother company of Google Alphabet also eliminated any mention of diversity, equity or inclusion of its Annual report to Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) Tuesday. The Guardian reports that before that, the annual deposits of the dry alphabet had regularly affirmed that it was “determined to make diversity, equity and the inclusion of everything we do and to develop a workforce ‘Representative work of users that we have served “since 2021.
“We are committed to creating a workplace where all our employees can succeed and have equal chances, and in the past year, we have examined our programs designed to help us get there,” Google said in a press release in Mashable. “We updated our [SEC report’s] Language to reflect this, and as a federal entrepreneur, our teams also assess the required changes following judicial decisions and recent decrees on this subject. “”
Google’s decision follows measures similar to Meta And AmazonBoth with the reduction of Dei programs in front of the inauguration of Trump.
