If Costco is a public company it has a fiduciary duty to return profits to shareholders HARD STOP. You do this by hiring the MOST QUALIFIED candidates for the job. It's not that difficult

Don't quit Costco so fast. They have MERIT at the same time. DEI refers to hiring, but after hiring, the Costco merit evaluation program then fires the non-meritorious DEI hires. I've seen it happen at my local Costco. The hiree is sort of lackluster, and the next times I come back, that employee is completely gone.

Costco has changed a lot in the last 7 or 8 years. I used to love them. Cancelled my membership 6 months ago.
Thanks, more for me, eh?🇨🇦
Every time I go into my costco I get attitude and rude treatment from the dei hires.
How can you tell which persons are DEI hires and which are not?
And I have worked in plenty of industries where yt people feel entitled like we are still on the plantation but guess my dad was a truck driver and I didn’t have to take no $hit from y’all😂
@@msudlppoc are DIE hires because white people are not considered as needing DIE. It's a racist movement
@@msudlp they can’t because best believe my resume stacked but it goes to show how racism is passed around the kitchen table like the dry biscuits they serve😂
@sagba947 how is asking a question giving attitude? YOUR racism is showing, just like a DIE hire
Vote the board out.
Robbie Starbuck needs to go after Costco. I have been a member since 1998 and really want to continue to be a member but this issue isn’t in line with American values. This could be the deal breaker. Very disappointing for Costco.
Trump/Vance in 2025, America is back baby 👶.
January 20th can't get here fast enough
Why does it cost millions to hire with DEI standards who's getting paid? Something's fishy.
It costs the same amount as all other hires don't let yourself be duped
Haha even companies like Walmart said they invested millions on DEI studies
DEI slingers are getting paid
I'm a Costco member and the one I shop at has two male employees who use the woman's restroom. They have a unisex restroom but it appears to be more about "you have to participate in my delusional thinking". My country has gone bat $hit crazy 😢
