Mark Zuckerberg’s charity confirms support for DEI despite Meta’s overhaul


Exclusive: Chan Zuckerberg Initiative workers express concern, as recent changes there similar to those at Meta

Employees of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) expressed concern in January after Meta’s top HR executive announced that that company would no longer put resources toward hiring and working with diverse and underrepresented job candidates and business suppliers (a suite of practices often referred to as DEI, for diversity, equity and inclusion), according to internal CZI messages viewed by the Guardian. Another Meta-esque move came in January of this year, when CZI employees received a new mandate going into effect on 1 April to return to working in the foundation’s Redwood City, California, headquarters at least three days a week. In a meeting with Meta employees last week, Zuckerberg said: “We now have an opportunity to have a productive partnership with the United States government, and we’re going to take that.”
