Ford joins other companies walking back previous DEI commitments on supplier quotas and LGBTQ+ corporate equality practices.
  • Ford Motor told employees in an internal communication that it had taken “a fresh look” at its DEI policies and practices over the past year.
  • Following that review, the automaker said it will not use quotas for minority dealerships or suppliers, adding that it does not have hiring quotas.
  • The company also will stop participating in the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, as well as various other “best places to work” lists.

    The issue is, it means you may not be putting the best person for a position, in that position. Affirmative action stuff all sounds great until you see someone with better performance, more experience, and qualifications get passed by on a promotion because of their gender, race, or sexual orientation.

    Where I work does unbiased testing based out of standard books that questions are pulled from so there’s no bias. Unfortunately not every field can do such a thing.
