Excellent. Yet another reason to shop at Lowes.

Home Depot is still all in. That makes my decision easier as to which place to shop

Yep, no decision at all now. There's always a Lowes right across the street from HD anyway.

Perhaps he should take a look at the Texas sacred cow - HEB

Please do HEB next!

Someone needs to point him towards HEB. Where is he from?

HEB isn't a publicly traded company so they don't answer to shareholders and can do what they want to.

Just hope the real helpful dyke at Lowe's doesn't quit. She is more knowledgeable than lots of DEI HIRES

---

If she knows her (stuff) she ain't a DEI hire.

Mother in Law is at a nursing facility, admin is textbook short haired lesbian.

She knows her stuff, is friendly, and proactive.

I don't have a single problem working or communicating with her, and appreciate her work ethic.

She may check a DEI box, but she ain't a DEI hire. She's there on merit.

As it should be. No one should be handed anything because of who they are. The left has always agreed with that, but they have morphed it to handing jobs to their folks. Not a whole lot of difference. It's about control

The BORG was never as woke as Lowe's. 5 years ago I shifted 90% of my Lowes purchases to Home Depot over this despite it being a slightly longer drive.

Top US toolmaker faces boycott over DEI hiring and LGBTQ lobbying campaign | Daily Mail Online

he power toolmaker Stanley Black and Decker is the latest firm to face a boycott from conservatives over its diversity-hiring policies and support for LGBTQ causes.

Consumers' Research, an advocacy group, has panned the Connecticut-based firm for picking suppliers based on their race, and funding LGBTQ lobbying in Washington.

The company, which is behind such brands as DeWalt, Black and Decker, and Stanley, joins a growing list of firms to come under pressure from conservatives over policies seen by many as 'woke.'

A report from Consumers' Research highlights controversial DEI efforts at the company.

They include policies to increase business with minority suppliers by at least 10 percent by 2025, donations of $10.5 million to 'racial equity' groups, and compulsory 'equity training' sessions for bosses.

It highlights comments from the firm's diversity chief Joe Simms, who has spoken of DEI as an 'unwavering focus' for the firm and one of its 'foundational commitments.'

Executives also teamed up with the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBTQ advocacy group, and took part in its 'equality index,' which ranks firms on how friendly they are to gay and transgender staff.

The report includes filings that show the company spent $280,000 on lobbying lawmakers for the Equality Act, which would 'enshrine in federal law that biological males can participate in women's sports.'

The Mail surveyed the company's website and social media channels and found repeated references to its DEI work and support for 'inclusive' workspaces and celebrations of Pride month.

While such corporate statements are uncontroversial to many, companies increasingly take flak from conservatives for ignoring their customers and pushing an unwelcome social agenda.
