I finally managed to land a real job with real benefits, and this is my first foray into corporate America. In grad school the nonsense was largely limited to emails I could have a chuckle about and move on with my day. Is the corporate world any worse than this or are the virtue signaling retards just as easy to ignore?

Can confirm, have a job where the a new department got made a few years prior and a women got placed as the department lead, few weeks ago they came into the main support room for their department asking 'hey what is this thing?' when the thing was the primary software piece that department was actively working on and having meetings on that they were in every fucking week.
2-3 years as a head with at least bi-weekly meetings and they know fuck-all about the software they're supposedly responsible for.
Last I recall, that department has 1 or 2 white dudes, 5-6 women, most in 'lead' rolls of course with maybe 2 of them actually knowing wtf is going on there, then a bunch of indians/asians for the rest of the department.
It seems the same everywhere. I actually have a funny story from a friend. She got hired at a startup that was to good to be true, high on diversity but gave trips to France as rewards, high salaries and ton of vacations etc.
My friend got in a small team with a dude and another woman, the other woman had almost no skills but tons of experience, her experience was getting the guys to do her job because she was hot. Funny part was that because of the DIE requirements the guy was gay so she was struggling like crazy to do basic stuff. My friend enjoyed her suffering very much. Of course the startup crashed and burned in a few years.
