A 30-year career was wiped out in one second over one word for a tech guy in London. Whilst a female mine worker in north America wishes DEI had never been brought in. And young men feel more adrift than ever.
This final episode takes stock of the impact that DEI has had; and whether companies are truly abandoning it - or sneakily rebranding.
The show asks: what’s a better way to genuinely address discrimination? (Goodbye DEI, hello DEO - Do Everything Obvious.)
This is the fifth and final episode of the series White Men Can't Work!
In which award-winning documentary-maker Tim Samuels fearlessly investigates what it’s like being a man in today’s woke workplaces.
And how a radical form of DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) managed to capture our biggest companies and institutions.
Costing billions, trampling over free speech, fairness and men’s mental health - all whilst turning out to be counterproductive.
