Meta employees expressed their discontent regarding the decision to roll back the company's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) program in an internal forum.
More than 390 staffers reacted negatively to the announcement, with many using emojis to convey their disappointment.
The company's VP of Human Resources, Janelle Gale, announced that Meta would dissolve its DEI team, leading to a backlash among employees.
The rollback follows other significant changes, including a shift in content moderation policies impacting how hate speech is addressed.
Gale suggested that the term DEI has become controversial, impacting perceptions of impartiality in company practices.
