Note: We did that headline strictly for the alliteration, not for the bad witch subtext.<\/p>\n

Anyway, someone tipped us to this yesterday but did not include details and we didn\u2019t get a chance to follow up with people inside Deloitte who enjoy leaking the messy things that happen at their firm so here we are getting details from Reddit and Financial Times.<\/em><\/p>\n

FT<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Deloitte US has asked employees working on government contracts to remove gender pronouns from their email signatures and ditched its wider diversity and inclusion programmes, in the latest sign of companies shifting their policies after the election of Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAs a US government contractor, we have a long-standing track record of compliance with new governmental requirements,\u201d said Deloitte in a statement to FT. The \u201cEnding Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing\u201d executive order<\/a> signed by President Trump on January 20 does have specific provisions for government contractors, of which Deloitte is a biggun.<\/p>\n

If you remember, Deloitte was already on the MAGA naughty list<\/a> after a Deloitte principal leaked Facebook messages he received from now-VP JD Vance (say that five times fast) back in 2016 that said, we quote, \u201cI go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn\u2019t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he\u2019s America\u2019s Hitler.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over on r\/Deloitte, this person<\/a> thinks the firm is \u201ccozying up to Trump\u2019s anti-DEI directives so D can keep getting govt contracts.\u201d Also comments are criticizing<\/a> chief people officer Doug Beaudoin\u2019s use of \u201csunsetting\u201d in his email announcing the change and we tend to agree. Apparently he said:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe will sunset our workforce and business aspirational diversity goals; our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Transparency Report; and our DEI programming.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Well that answers this question for us:<\/p>\n

\n

In response to Deloitte US\u2019s decision to nix pronouns and diversity goals, Deloitte UK went the other direction. According to FT, who saw the internal email from CEO Richard Houston to staff, the King\u2019s Deloitte will retain diversity as \u201ca priority.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ultimately this whole thing comes down to money and consultants have been struggling for at least two years now, of course Deloitte was going to bend a knee to Trump\u2019s anti-DEI position. In 2024, Deloitte was the #14 government contractor with $3,540,556,000 in contracts. That\u2019s nearly 11 percent of Deloitte US\u2019s revenue of $33 billion.<\/p>\n

The only other Big 4 in the top 100 government contractors is KPMG at #69 (nice).<\/p>\n

We wouldn\u2019t be surprised if all the back-patty, aren\u2019t-we-good-allies, over-corporatized DEI stuff comes back in four years like nothing happened.<\/p>\n

BRB, gonna go archive all of Deloitte\u2019s back catalog of DEI stuff.<\/p>\n
