The procession of tech empires prostrating themselves at the feet of the tycoon continues.
Google has also decided to align itself with Donald Trump’s anti-LGBTQIA crusade by abolishing its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) policy.
Google’s decision follows those of two other tech giants: Meta and Amazon.
This is a very significant change for Google, which less than five years ago had set ambitious targets to increase the representation of minorities in the most senior positions within the company.
However, Google was quick to reassure that despite the removal of the DEI policy, it will continue to work to create an inclusive working environment for all its employees. A band-aid worse than the hole.
In any case, it remains to be seen how this decision will affect Google’s corporate culture and the tech industry as a whole in the long term.
