    Off-Topic Changing Tenor in HR Departments

    Okay, misc thoughts on this essay and this thread and this topic: 1. I've said this frequently and it is still true. "DEI" does not = "Affirmative Actions," although there are evil folks who want you to think they are the same. Frankly, when I see folks using DEI when they mean...
