Flipboard Culture Desk<p>Costco and Target took opposite positions after the Trump administration began to pressure private companies to ditch diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Costco resisted and reaffirmed its support for DEI, while Target dumped its programs. So how has it affected foot traffic for the two chains? Retail Brew takes a look.</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/3pCmVF" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/3pCmVF</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/DiversityEquityInclusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DiversityEquityInclusion</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/DEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DEI</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Lifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lifestyle</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Retail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Retail</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Costco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Costco</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Target" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Target</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Business" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Business</span></a></p>

Moved to https://mk.absturztau.be/@Linux<p><span>I am surprised concerning Costco.<br><br>My first time ever visiting a Costco (we have one in West Springfield, Massachusetts), was many (many) years ago with a friend and their family. They said they were going to go shopping, and asked if I wanted to come with them.<br><br>The odd thing, was they were not going right away, and wanted me to come back in 30 minutes. And what makes that odd was they used this time to "dress up", as if they were dressing up to go to church or attending a special event. I recall them looking a little surprised that I still had the same t-shirt and blue jeans, I had been wearing, earlier. I recall my friend's mom, asking if I was ready to go, as if she was uncertain I should go.<br><br>It was not just them, because as soon as I entered Costco, I truly did feel out of place. Imagine an entire store of people dressed up to go shopping. I have never seen anything like it outside of Costco. And it was not just that 1x, either. My few shopping trips to Costco varied between weekday to weekend, and nowhere near any holidays or special occasions that I am aware of. <br><br>You would be surprised on how many people gave you a hard glance, because you were not dressed up. My friend's family never again offered for me to tag along, and I recall their mother wanting to keep some distance, as if she was ashamed I was there with them. <br><br>The atmosphere was that of "snotty people" with their noses up in the air. I recall even the staff, who were offering free samples, ensured I did not touch anything, while other folk were allowed to simply walk up and take what they liked. Mine was specifically handed to me, from a respectable distance (armed reached out). The store was also filled with white people, and I mean, not even any of the workers looked different from one another. <br><br>Anytime I tried entering Costco I was challenged by staff, who gate kept the entrance, verifying everyone was a member. Since I stood out of place, they were quick to stop me every time, and made me obtain a "guest shopping pass" the few times I went alone. Costco was not a stop I felt comfortable shopping in, and I have not been in a Costco in years. Preferring our local BJ's Wholesale Club (Chicopee, MA).<br><br>So I am very surprised - Very surprised, that it is Costco who is keeping their DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies, and now giving all their employees a pay raise.<br><br>I admit, it has been years (many) since I have entered a Costco. But I will always have that memory.<br><br></span><a href="https://misskey.de/tags/Costco" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Costco</a> <a href="https://misskey.de/tags/DEI" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DEI</a> <a href="https://misskey.de/tags/DiversityEquityInclusion" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DiversityEquityInclusion</a> <a href="https://misskey.de/tags/LivingWage" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LivingWage</a> <a href="https://misskey.de/tags/PayRaise" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PayRaise</a> <a href="https://misskey.de/tags/BJsWholeSaleClub" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BJsWholeSaleClub</a> <a href="https://misskey.de/tags/BJsWholesale" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BJsWholesale</a></p>

Flipboard Culture Desk<p>More than 98% of Costco shareholders voted down an anti-DEI proposal at their annual meeting. The proposal had been filed by the National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative think tank. In its Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Costco's board of directors had urged shareholders to reject the motion, saying: "Our efforts at diversity, equity and inclusion remind and reinforce with everyone at our Company the importance of creating opportunities for all."

🅰🅻🅸🅲🅴 (🌈🦄)<p>I have to share this. So my partner is on the DEI board for a nonprofit org, which consists of my partner, a gay black woman, a Latina woman, and a straight white guy.</p><p>I was working from the other room and overhead some of their meeting.</p><p>The guy, (Fred? Doug? Something like that. Let's say Fred), had coopted the meeting for the last hour. He was going on about how he didn't think the org needed a DEI committee...it went something like:</p><p>"Race is an outdated social construct."</p><p>"I don't see color or gender."</p><p>"If everyone was just chill like me, there wouldn't be an issue."</p><p>And so on.</p><p>I heard my partner trying to gently reign in his monopoly on the discussion:</p><p>"Maybe we should hear from one of the other members about their lived experiences?"</p><p>He kept going; transitioning into the topic of "handout programs":</p><p>"I mean, the opportunities are there. Maybe the story was different in the past, but now they just have to work for it like anyone else."</p><p>Note: my partner was (nearly still)born into poverty, abuse, a broken child welfare system, and has multiple chronic conditions.</p><p>I could hear the frustration in my partner's voice. No one else spoke up.</p><p>My partner got up and left the call for a bit. Fred didn't seem to notice, as I could hear him still talking away in the background.</p><p>Eventually the meeting ended.</p><p>The other two women said they thought they got a lot out of the meeting, and that Fred brought up some good points (though I must of missed those ones from the other room).</p><p>My partner came into my office and recapped the meeting in one looong sentence (they were rather agitated).</p><p>So what's the moral of this story?</p><p>If you don't know why diversity, equity, and inclusion are necessary, then you're probably the reason.</p><p>If you refer to inclusion and social systems as "handout programs" then you have probably lived a priveledged fucking life.</p><p>If you're sitting on a DEI board full of LGBTQIA+/BIPOC people and none of those letters apply to you, then you'd better pay close attention to the collective lived experiences and perspectives of those other members.</p><p>If all the above apply to you, then you're probably Fred (and feeling pretty called out).</p><p>Don't be Fred.</p><p><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/DEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DEI</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/LGBTQIA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LGBTQIA</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/BIPOC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BIPOC</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Rant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Rant</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Privelege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Privelege</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/DiversityEquityInclusion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DiversityEquityInclusion</span></a></p>
