I submitted paperwork last year for a religious accommodation/exemption from my employers DEI training. The response was weird as I only heard back that I would be contacted for further information. Then crickets. Didn't take the 3 -90 MINUTE* sessions. No reprimand for not taking it. So I guess "accepted". (?) Training is annually so pl…

I wish more employees would submit for an accommodation so that it shows the employer that people don't agree with this nonsense. The basic no harassment/discrimation, treat people the way you want to be treated philosophy I agree with but that's maybe 10% of the training.
*Sorry typographical error. Accidentally wrote hours the first time. 🤣 I would have quit on the spot, if that was true.
I wish more employees would just not attend and force the company to go through a bunch of disciplinary action BS, all while doing as little as possible before walking off the job en masse. If just 20% of the workforce pushed back hard, this dei crap would be gone.
That too! The only thing I like about the accommodation route is there is a paper trail. But it feels very individual and isolated. While something en masse appears to have a larger visual statement and possible impact.
Either way, employees simply need to say No, whatever form that looks like.
Since I am a Christian, I used various verses in scripture, similar to my no mask accommodation request.
Ultimately the guiding force for me is the Holy Spirits conviction. I focused my write up on that. Not every employer requires a write up. Some have an easy check box type form. Mine requires a write up and an alternative "solution".
Your reasoning has to be yours and honest so that they can't claim you are lying. If you are a Christian, I recommend taking time to pray and asking God to show you the scripture verses He wants you to use.
It isn't a form specific to DEI training. Your employer should have a policy for accommodations whether it'd be medical/ADA or religious. It's generic because the accommodation could be for anything. Hope that makes sense. First place to start is looking at your Employee Handbook/Manual. Find the section on accommodations. This should direct you to a form or provide direction.
That’s why I have a job as a substitute teacher. So many days teachers are away doing “training” hardly ever get scheduled because some one is sick- it’s always training.
Perhaps whoever was in charge of processing your paperwork agreed w/ you (or the “boss” did) & shelving it quietly is their way around this idiocy. (DEI is followed mostly to up the company’s ESG rating IMHO, tho I’m sure there are ideologues sprinkled in.)
However, I've heard that the companies doing the woke business are being compensated to offset any business losses. At least for the short term -not sure how long the offsetters plan to continue offsetting the company losses. Maybe just long enough to cut off all the business who will then be out of business en masse.

I’d like to know what your religious exemption reasoning was so I can use it for my job! We will have 3- 8 hour PD sessions this school year.

We don’t even have an exemption form available for the DEI training. I’ll have to make up My own I guess
Let’s start using DIE as the acronym.

And the homeowners are paying for these trainings
Ours are scheduled on the PD days where students have a 4 day weekend.

90 hours???
Holy crap! That's a lot of wasted work hours!!
Woke companies don't care about actual profits or productivity. Esg or dei scores are paramount.
Well, the saying is Go Woke, Go Broke. So, this just is another way these companies go broke.

Sorry, typo. 🤣🤣🤣 I edited my comment. 90 HOURS would have been beyond a nightmare.
Or maybe its 3 90 MINUTE not hours.
90 minutes...that makes more sense.
Yeah? Is that 3 sessions of 90 each? Or is that a typo?
