My corporate overlord is obsessed with DEI. It likes to brag that "our" company is the most inclusive employer in the industry. DEI is corporate morality, our mandatory DEI meetings are strongly reminiscent of church. They force hollow conversations that tempt people to make up experiences just to escape the meeting. Our most recent meeting included discussing the "unwritten rules" of our dept, the "unwritten rules" that exclude DEI people. My boss had to force conversations out of people. He asked one of my co-workers (female/elderly/black/morbidly obese) if she noticed any unwritten rules, she responded "No", and fell back asleep. It was the best part of our meeting! It's bad, really bad. It's like they're trying to recreate the church, so they can virtue signal and control the flock. I guess they don't want us to notice that our raises are consistently less than inflation, our benefits constantly under threat.
