Guten tag. I work for one of the aforementioned companies and will provide information. The company had a group working on this the second management started embracing critical theory. It consisted of female managers of nonproductive teams, HR, and the alphabet employees who put their "gender" in their bio.
It has gotten so absurd that they were considering banning black box and replacing it with opaque box. Someone heard in a meeting that a backend testing label was called yellow zone(and also gray zone and red zone). The woman was concerned it would offend east asians. They do not have experience with development and do not understand the history of the terms. Theimpossible1 probably has a point about women in the workplace because of this and I would probably agree to some extent.
The most rabid people participating in this seem to spend more time messaging about their social actovism than making the company profitable. There seems to be a trend where there are positions 40+ yr women occupy that serve as a form of welfare where work requirements are basically nonexistent and the women occupying them priortize increasing their social status rather than getting any work done. These women never get laid off.
I will need to go on the slack channel and look at their bios again. One is a VP of our division that writes blog posts and has department meetings where she gives media training responses. The other i remember who I personally dealt with was overseeing the transition from one monitoring service to another. Her job consisted of scheduling meetings and listening in. She didnt know the products and the migration is now cancelled
yeah this sounds familiar. I think this is just part and parcel with large corporations. there's always incompetents across the organization, a side effect of bureaucracy and the nature of people relationships.
Not 100% sure of welfare but there is this women that her only job is encourage other women to be managers. Another that gives "training" about ticket handling, somehow the class takes 2 sessions but it only takes you about 10 mins to read the rules. Queue management, is this chick that does nothing but give you tickets based on the number of cases each engineer has, we have automatic queue management but we are not using it so that she has a job.
oh wow, I work for a midsize insurance company and there are some positions similar to those jobs i.e. 'training', various government compliance type work that translates to very low work.
