Google scraps diverse hiring targets following Trump's crusade against DEI

Quick Summary:

It's the latest big tech company to bow to Trump's crusade against diversity, equity, and inclusion.

As first reported by The Wall Street Journal, Google informed employees on Wednesday that it is abandoning hiring targets intended to increase recruitment of workers from underrepresented groups.

The Guardian reports that prior to this, Alphabet's annual SEC filings had regularly affirmed that it was "committed to making diversity, equity and inclusion part of everything we do and to growing a workforce that is representative of the users we serve" since 2021".
