Tech giants, like Google and Meta, have slashed diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs in 2023 despite their commitments following the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests and riots.


According to data provided by job site Indeed, cited by CNBC, DEI-related job postings in 2023 have declined 44%.


In November 2023, the last full month for which data was available, DEI job postings dropped 23% year over year.


Layoffs at Google and Meta also included employees who held leadership roles in Black employee resource groups (ERGs), CNBC said.


Devika Brij, CEO of Brij the Gap Consulting, which works with tech companies’ DEI efforts, told CNBC that some companies have cut nearly 90% of their DEI budget by midyear 2023.
