    Home Depot has effectively had DEI in there core values since they were founded and that hasn’t changed yet. Hell “Respect for all people” is printed on every single apron

      Yeah, but aren’t the owners of Home Depot big financial supporters of trump?

      It’s not nothing, but “Hasn’t shit on DEI” is hardly a saving grace here.

        That’s been my understanding as well. Apparently he’s just a whiney, old, rich guy:

        This page digs into their DEI status and summarizes it as “active but shrinking”: https://buildremote.co/dei/homedepot/

        Unfortunately on my research, while Home Depot is the worst on this one, so is Lowe’s, Menards, and every other tool/home store…

      Thanks. Added them to a list, with a number of others I found on the dei.watch website.
