Most people on these threads like to pretend that the government is going to crumble without their expertise and historical knowledge, but the fact that you can just move a DEI person to any other admin job is pretty good evidence to the contrary. *literally* anyone can do most of these jobs. |

Why there are so many DEI employees at Veterans affairs? |

DEI in action is a natural flow from Human Resources. Yes, they can definitely go into hour an reproduce positions, other recruitment positions, contracting review, and other public facing roles. |

can they sue? what about job protections? |

presumably they can be lateralled or they will receive severance. Those would be the protections, if they are calling it a RIF. but it is a good question on what they can call a RIF. |

They’ve tried that. It’s leads to fewer minorities being hired. The navy eliminated pictures of candidates on the assumption that people were discriminating when they could tell the race of candidates during promotion boards. When pictures were eliminated, the rate of promotions for minorities dropped significantly. Turns out there was discrimination, but it was against white candidates. The navy’s response to this was to add back pictures. https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2021/08/03/cnp-removing-photos-from-promotion-boards-has-hurt-diversity/ |

Are you joking? You don’t understand why there are so many DISABLED Vets? |

Because it's healthcare and they serve every type of person imaginable, many of those disabled homeless veterans that get overlooked and sneered at on streets because people have no idea they served. Yep, those are vets. It takes a diverse healthcare workforce and social worker network to understand and help the myriad of circumstances. It's not uncommon for most hospitals, VA or otherwise to have robust diversity training programs for their healthcare employees. |

Are you using DEI as a code word for brown person? Perhaps because a third of the military identifies as non-white. |
