Firstly, I resent his genuflection to DIE and its positives, and relating it to a reason for a corporation to be concerned about its 'culture.' Ironically, he mentions it in a line about how all the new non-White non-male employees might take something meant as a joke as an insult. Quelle suprise.

I was alarmed in the beginning when he brought up "Culture Managers," and my first reaction was that the role was for micromanaging the workers and trying to force a singular belief system across the lot of them. The management must feel so powerless and confused about how to improve and affect the working environment that their instinct is to find some "Expert" to fix it for them, with zero understanding of whether that person would actually be useful or not. How long would the manager bludgeon their employees with this tool before deciding it wasn't properly working, and how much permanent damage would it do in the meantime?

I heard a funny idea a long number of years ago; when you see an "under new management" sign, what it really means is "we got rid of the previous assholes, please give us another chance." It seems like the idea of controlling the behavior of your employees to maximize their productivity has become yet another modern mental poison, driven by increasingly invasive psychological studies on manipulating and controlling human behavior, all wrapped up in a hefty dose of social shaming.
