Yep, Meritocracy in the west hasn't been a thing for a LONG time even in roles that are more critical. The only reason some roles have no women in them is because women themselves are too terrified to do it (North Sea workers, oil drilling etc)
It's also why there's been more shit breaking down as when you combine this with diversity hiring, we are lacking the talented people needed to improve and develop tools since we disenfranchised them for being men, usually White men, and the people you hired have no idea how to maintain what's there.
And while it can be a problem that could be at least maintained if you have one company doing it, the problem is magnified wildly when every company and supplier in the entire logistical chain is doing it.
*every company forced by the government.
This is forced “diversity” there is no sane reason for grandma to be getting paid the same to work at Home Depot when the male employees have to do all the physical labor for her.
I faced this upwards of 10 years ago working at Target when I had just graduated Highschool and was attending trade school at night.
I had to be at Target at 5am to unload the trucks every morning. Prolly half the employees on the shift were women.
For some reason, even tho we all had the same job title, women never got picked to unload the trucks and instead got to mill about on the floor, putting clothes on racks and shelves.
Which mind you, wouldn't bother me since they're weak and the physical labor of throwing boxes off of a full semi trailer is hard, but they got paid more than the men almost universally (we asked around how much they made as they were friendly sorts, I don't blame them for the situation I blame management) while doing much less important work.
The Store Manager was a 40 something year old, childless, bitter wench. Because obviously that's how the situation came to be. A man hater put in charge of 50/50 men and women heavily favored the women, big wow
Not necessarily. The government forces some of it, but plenty of activists have infiltrated keystone positions of power in PR, HR, Advertising, and Finance that they are prepared to kill companies, rather than sacrifice the ideology. "Diversity is the only way to make money going forward!"
The government forced women in, women took easy jobs like hr and co-opted hiring
And don't forget the big investment banks like Blackrock and Vanguard, using our 401ks to pressure every publicly traded company into Didn't Earn It policies.
