Is this legal?

Read between the lines. This exec has admitted addressing diversity via hire and fire policy.

Laying off people based on gender/age/ethnicity and then replacing for same roles based on a different gender or age or ethnicity or combination thereof. This in order to appear as a better employer for PR and marketing purposes? Discrimination is discrimination and there's nothing positive about it.

Is this policy illegal ? Combine that with forcing people out but then dressing it up as voluntary with a slight uplift, so they can hire much much cheaper labour for the exact same roles. Is this also not legal?
