Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, announced the suspension of its diversity hiring programs and the disbanding of its DEI team. The company stated that it will focus on building cognitively diverse teams and ensure fair and consistent practices for all employees.
Meta announced the end of several internal programs aimed at increasing diversity within the company. These programs include the consideration of qualified candidates from underrepresented groups for open roles, diversity supplier program, and equity and inclusion training programs. Meta 's vice president of people, Janelle Gale, stated that the company's focus will now shift to building cognitively diverse teams with individuals from various backgrounds and experiences.
Gale also announced the disbanding of Meta's diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) team. Several employees expressed criticism towards the new policy, with one comment stating that 'if you don't stand by your principles when things get difficult, they aren't values. They're hobbies.' This policy change follows a series of recent policy reversals by Meta, including the termination of representation goals for women and ethnic minorities.
