According to IGN, Microsoft has just closed down a “major” team focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The cuts occurred last week and may signal a larger shift away from the movement which started in 2020.
Reportedly, the DEI team shut down on July 1 due to “changing business needs.” In an internal email obtained by the outlet, a former lead for the team believes the cuts were done to get ahead of the Project 2025 conservative policy plan.
