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.
These companies are using these make-work departments to balance gender in the work force. There aren't enough female coders and engineers in the world, so tech companies are flooding all of their HR, social media, community management, and management departments with women. Not because women are well-suited to those jobs, but because those are the only jobs women (in number) can do. The end result is that these departments are becoming overly feminized, and this is only exacerbated by the excess of useless liberal arts degrees accompanying those female employees.
Instead of an HR department that mirrors and serves your primary workforce, you have an HR department staffed by radical feminists seeking to blow company money on their worthless initiatives.
another reason so many tech companies are pushing for diversity is to dissuade labor organization. the less homogeneous the workers, the harder it is for them to find common ground.
