This has become a popular phrase. But think about it, what role does Cisco's social justice messaging have in creating networking equipment and software? How does creating diversity of skin color among employees enhance a company's ability to delivery the best product and service it can? I can see how diversity in talent and experience or academic background would contribute, but how does diversity in skin color? This is a very relative topic to how Cisco operates, employs, and lays off. Anyone have a good explanation?

And yet the incel community has no explanation for why Cisco hasn't been able to develop working software for more than 30 years, long before DEI and transatlantic links required for sites around the world to truly scale.
How did society get so messed up that people need training to work with other people who have superficial differences and why do so many fail that training?
Older white folks being pushed out. Thats woke for ya.
Well, @5rzp+1ah1PLyZ - I will not do your job for you. You have time to waste with conspiracy theories, you could use it to find the studies by yourself.
"There are several studies by reputable scholars and Universities that talk about the value of diversity for business and that can be found if you search for them. Of course you won't because it doesn't fit your narrative. "
Right, but you can't link one that fits your narrative. Hmm.
There are several studies by reputable scholars and Universities that talk about the value of diversity for business and that can be found if you search for them. Of course you won't because it doesn't fit your narrative. How you people manage to work in a global company that serves diverse customers is beyond my understanding. Quit and work for a company that serves only people like you. Everyone wins.
Oh there are hundreds of such “studies” and they are mostly based on junk science and appear in “academic” journals with 10 readers all with blue hair. It’s then republished all,over to become “the science”. It’s known as information laundering.
"Studies have shown the more diverse your team the higher the business performance will be"
What studies? I've never read one that claimed that. Got a link?

You really have to wonder about the mentality of the mods here.
Trendy woke virtue signaling allows useless Cisco managers to feel good about themselves while they plot the next round of layoffs
