A leading advertising firm one day fired five workers - just because they were men. How on earth did our biggest companies decide it was OK to openly discriminate against men? How did diversity policies - that began under JFK in the era of segregation - so lose the plot? This is the first episode of White Men Can't Work!

How a radical, anti-free speech agenda captured our leading universities. Where lecturers are sacked for crazy micro-aggressions - and told not to hire any white or Asian men. And students are punished for private conversations overheard through dorm walls. The story of how group-think spread like wildfire.

How the death of George Floyd became the moment DEI explodes - and becomes a global phenomenon. But as we can now see, it’s a story of how the world’s largest companies had a moment to really make a much-needed difference - and totally blew it by opting for a divisive, ideological form of DEI. A psychologist describes how polarising whiteness training was - and how men’s mental health has been sidelined.

Police officers, firefighters and doctors say they've been impacted by 'woke' DEI culture. They're not chasing suspects, are getting to fires too late, and wasting resources on diversity training.

How far have our emergency services been impacted by DEI? And do these schemes actually work when you crunch the data? (Spoiler alter - not so much.)

Bye Bye DEI (or not) Nearly half - 46% - of white middle-aged men in the UK report that DEI has affected their mental wellbeing. Indeed, some ten million men - across all ages - confess they're often anxious that as a white man they can be sacked over doing or saying the wrong thing. All whilst the evidence shows DEI training actually backfires - and is a waste of $14 billion/year.

But what’s the future? Companies in the UK are merely rebranding their DEI. And half of us think or sons will do worse off. A 30-year career was wiped out in one second over one word for a tech guy in London. Whilst a female mine worker in north America wishes DEI had never been brought in. And young men feel more adrift than ever.

This final episode takes stock of the impact that DEI has had; and whether companies are truly abandoning it - or sneakily rebranding. The show asks: what’s a better way to genuinely address discrimination? (Goodbye DEI, hello DEO - Do Everything Obvious.)
