1 in 5 Mergers Fail Due to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Concerns: T-Mobile Takes a Different Route

T-Mobile has made the decision to discontinue its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, a move that has allowed the company to secure approval for two major mergers. According to reports, T-Mobile filed letters in two Federal Communications Commission (FCC) dockets, one related to its acquisition of US Cellular and another regarding its purchase of Metronet.

The FCC approved the Metronet deal, citing T-Mobile’s commitment to modifying its practices to better serve the public interest. This decision comes as a surprise, given that 1 in 5 mergers fail due to concerns over DEI policies. In fact, a recent study found that companies with strong DEI initiatives experience a 25% increase in employee engagement and a 15% boost in customer loyalty.

T-Mobile’s move has been praised by FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, who sees the company’s change as a step forward for equal opportunity and public interest. While some may view this decision as a setback for diversity efforts, it remains to be seen how T-Mobile’s new approach will impact its business practices and employee morale.

This is, in fact, one of the major problems with DEI. If 60% of all (female, Hispanic) executives are diversity hires, some level of bias becomes logical.

S&P 500 companies scrub DEI language from 2025 reports. More than 200 companies have deleted “diversity” and “equity” from their annual reports this year — others have replaced that language with words like “belonging” or “connectivity.”

“… if the pool was deemed insufficiently diverse, the committee would revisit candidates from underrepresented groups who were initially considered unqualified, expand job advertising, or simply ‘cancel the search entirely.'”

DEI Diversity. Crucial for a stock portfolio over the long term. Equity. Equal treatment under the law, rule of law, all men are created equal, life liberty pursuit of happiness… Inclusion. Welcoming vs GTFO! ((())) Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
