[Politics] Amex shareholders reject anti DEI proposal

[nickbrighton]

Basically, what the title says

Not all American companies are bowing down to the orange overlord, and I'm glad Amex is one of those which isnt, also Goldman Sachs have voted on I believe similar proposals

 

[Super Steve Earle]

I'm sorry, but what with the double negatives etc., I have no idea what that means.

It's an 'anti-DEI proposal' and it's been rejected by Amex shareholders.

Good. Otherwise need to get a sticker for our fans shirts and rebrand as “Ukraine Express” aka Donatello during the war years

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Reassuring to know.

Maybe a hyphen in the title will add clarity….

What if they changed the name to "American Multicultural Express?"

Excellent news.

DEI is the latest manufactured Culture War bollox, and distract-divide-and-rule, being pursued by the Hard-Right like Trump and his mini-me grievance-monger Farage, to divert public anger and attention away from the fact that their economic policies will only benefit the corporate elites and the mega-rich.

If people are hating immigrants and DEi, they're less likely to see who's really responsible for their economic struggles and social problems.

As someone who works there, this really is no surprise. The CEO said recently that we can't run a company that isn't run to be diverse, equitable and inclusive and, as someone who has overseen the Amex share price rising from $90 per share to over $270 in 7 years, he holds a lot of influence.

I just realized they could stick with the term "Amex."

 

[Flounce]

No surprise, they are probably intelligent people?
