Welcome to the shit show David. Where the liberals you love so much have made it illegal for us to work in the country our ancestors built. You will be passed up for promotions your entire life for women that blatantly do not know what they are doing.
I had a Senior Manager of Engineering open up today's staff meeting with "I've never programmed anything in my life.... blah blah blah But that's what I love about this company it's flexible and anyone can pursue any path they are passionate about." She and our Snr Manager of Research have implemented egregiously stupid policies. DEI is a disaster and it's now directly blocking my work since in their infinite wisdom that only unqualified woman can bring to leadership,. they decided to lock down all prototypes to be password protected, so all UX testing and AB testing is blocked until our Snr Manager or Research feels like logging in to the 500 notifications.
That's the world men are forced to toil in and any white male born a male is gonna have to just learn to deal with it. Middle management is for incompetent women and you have to be enthusiastic about anything they do. You have to show that you embrace change. So rather than tell them this is a stupid plan that violates standard and best practice, because they don't know it, I have to say, "This is a great change for security but I'm not sure how to conduct User Tests with this new procedure, please advise." See what I did? Like a good male I have to humiliate myself and put into writing that I don't see their faults, but rather, I am the one that needs their guidance and I don't know what I'm doing.
It beats being homeless!
Remember, liking DEI is required. Even if a BS in Graphic Design is now leading a team of PhDs with decades on her experience and everything she does is wrong. Fighting it is not my job and it will ruin me if I try.
