DEI rollback: who's next?
Trump rolls back DEI across the federal government. Is your workplace next?
DEI brought us Sam Brinton, and numerous Federally funded employees across the DOE Complex, that would not otherwise been hired, promoted, or shielded from their improper workplace and or non-workplace conduct.
This is a good article that goes into detail, evidently there is a claim that DEI is discriminatory and illegal, and will be ended even in the private sector
What will happen to the LLNS “Director of Strategic Diversity and Inclusion Programs” position, and all the related DEI positions at LLNL? Will these employees be placed on administrative leave, and will LLNS ensure “efforts to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language” do not and have not occurred?
ATF accused of 'circumventing' Trump order to place DEI staff on paid leave
“Boykin was listed as the chief diversity officer as recently as Tuesday – Trump’s second day in the Oval Office – and now shows her as working as the agency's "senior executive." “
In addition to obvious DEI job titles, it should be easy enough for DOE/NNSA to look for key DEI words in recent lab performance appraisals to see who was officially identified as having a DEI programmatically funded function in full or in part, over the last few years. There are also charge accounts associated with DEI tasks. If the lab DEI sanitized or scrubbed performance appraisals, that would fall under trying to obscure or rename. Will DEI managers and employees be placed into EIT status?
When a DEI hire gets so intrenched in a Lab DEI recognized position, the DEI division leaders and other enablers go out of their way to protect that employee at all costs, including security clearance violations that never reach the LSO or HQ for proper investigation, thinking this is best for their own career interest, well, maybe that was the wrong approach. Time for a security clearance review of all DEI enablers. Absolute protection of DEI hired lab employees should have consequences.

Will the lab rename the DEI positions in an attempt to hide them following the lead set by the ATF?
If someone wants to investigate something at LLNS I would look into how OT is handed out and awards or bonuses.
“Will the lab rename the DEI positions…”

While it should be easy to look for DEI fingerprints, will DOE/NNSA be motivated to do so without someone from above waving a wooden spoon?

It’s hard to think or act objectively when you are appointed, completely bypassing interview peer review, to a division leader position, right Joe?
