But also the third one is mandated by the state and/or coercion.
And the first one is mandated by the shareholders.
I envision most teams at this point are comprised of about equal parts “totally useless diversity hires who contribute no value to the project” and “competent white/Asian dudes who are being tasked with 200% work for the same shit pay”. Anyone who is both diverse and competent is making seven figures as a team leader at some Fortune 500 company. Anyone who is white/Asian and legitimately talented has fled the companies to go into business for himself. All the big teams are hemorrhaging money with a combination of diverse saboteurs and criminally overworked white dudes.
That’s why there are three traits and not just two. You can find diverse and competent workers, but they are so rare - and competition for their services is so high - that they can command ridiculous salaries. So you can’t have competent and diverse employees without blowing up your budget.
The new paradigm for hiring:
Choose two.

I have yet to see this combination actually work.
