Marriott CEO says ‘the right thing' about DEI, gets 40K emails in response
A hotel industry's top exec has revealed the overwhelming positive support he's received after tackling diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) head on. During the Great Place to Work for All Summit last week, Marriott CEO and President Anthony Capuano spoke to the crowd about the cultural and workplace shifts on DEI and reflected on a moment he was met with unexpected encouragement from tens of thousands of emails from coworkers. Advertisement 'The day the [DEI] executive order came out, I sat with our senior leadership team and I said: given the industry-leading position we have, we ought to make sure we're all aligned on, not only philosophically — how we think about this, which was the easy part — but what words we use, what language we use. We should talk with the board a little bit about it,' Capuano said on stage. 'There's a very big hotel industry investment conference called the ALIS Conference,' he expanded. 'And so the next morning, I did a media breakfast. I did six one-on-one media interviews and then… we did the CEO panel. This was the first question in all eight of those interactions.' 3 Marriott CEO and President Anthony Capuano says he has received numerous support after tackling diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) head on. SPECIAL TO THE NEW YORK POST Advertisement President Donald Trump shut down all diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) offices across the federal government during his first week in office and signed a number of executive orders to quickly undo former President Joe Biden's efforts. Not only did Trump shut down all federal offices, he signed two other related executive orders in January: one that ended discrimination in the workplace and higher education through race and sex-based preferences under the guise of DEI; the other was a memo to eliminate a Biden administration policy that prioritized DEI hiring at the Federal Aviation Administration. 3 Capuano told the crowd at the Great Place to Work for All Summit last week that shifting from DEI policies was met with unexplained encouragement from thousands of coworkers. Christopher Webb, /X As a result, since then, top U.S.-based brands and companies have rolled back their number of DEI policies, like Amazon, Meta, McDonald's, Boeing, Ford, Harley-Davidson, John Deere, Lowe's, Nissan, Toyota, Walmart and others. Advertisement When it came time for Capuano to answer the public on Marriott's stance on DEI, he claimed he 'mentally phoned a friend.' 'I thought about what I'd heard from Bill Marriott all these decades. And what I said in response to those questions, we've been around for almost a century, political winds blow all different directions, particularly when you operate in almost 150 countries. I said, but there are some fundamental truths about this company that have guided us for those 98 years,' the CEO noted. 3 President Donald Trump shut down all diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) offices across the federal government not long after he was sworn into office as the 47th President of the United States of America. REUTERS Advertisement 'We welcome all to our hotels, and we create opportunity for all. And fundamentally, those will never change, right?' Capuano continued. 'The words might change, but that's who we are as a company.' 'Then I went back to my room and said, 'Gosh, I hope I said the right thing.' In the next 24 hours, I got 40,000 emails from Marriott associates around the world just saying, 'thank you.'' Fox News' Brooke Singman contributed to this report.

Jemima Packington, 68, who correctly predicted major events such as the Queen's death and Brexit has revealed her top predictions for 2025, saying the world is in for a series of surprises. Jemima Packington, 68, who correctly predicted major events such as the Queen's death and Brexit has revealed her top predictions for 2025, saying the world is in for a series of surprises. SWNS Besides the eyebrow-raising news the Commander-in-chief, the veggie voyeur anticipates more deaths in Britain's royal family — and the arrest of some high-profile celebrities. In addition, Packington said, there will be 'off-the-scale' shakeups politically and at least one natural disaster with mass casualties. The sustenance-based spiritualist has been releasing her predictions for some time now — with a 75-90% accuracy rate, she told SWNS. 'Seeing the patterns for me is instantaneous, possibly that is because I've had years of practice,' Packington explained. 'Occasionally I get one slightly off, where I haven't quite read it correctly, but I'm never far off.' 'I predicted Boris Johnson would become [UK] Prime Minister before he did and everyone laughed their socks off,' she recalled. Packington picks a handful of tips, tosses them into the air and 'reads' the shapes they form when they land. She said she saw the spears of the veg form the shape of a broken crown just months before the Queen died on September 8, 2022. 'The spears formed a broken crown which indicated to me that there would be a great royal sadness,' she remembered. 10 New Year's predictions for 2025 1. More civil unrest throughout Europe and the Middle East. Europe will undergo especially turbulent times. 2. Political resignations will be off the scale worldwide. 3. Trump will have a major health scare. 4. European car makers will hit major problems – all connected with EV's. 5. Stock Markets worldwide will be extra jittery. More bust than boom. 6. The Royal Family will have more trials and tribulations but will overcome these. 7. Sadly more Royal deaths. 8. The culture of so called influencers on social media will be mired in even more scandal. 9. Mixed global reactions to climate changes. A catastrophic event will occur. It will involve major loss of life 10. Show Business personalities will again make the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Arrests will shock the public. NEW YORK POST
