DEI is not about having quotas for X amount of every group even though people like to spout that nonsense. It’s about removing hurdles that people may have that may seem innocuous
For example if a job that is done fully remote is requiring people to interview in person a DEI analysis would look at that and say that’s not very inclusive of the disabled who may struggle to do the in person interview even though they can perform all the duties of their job with their disability so we should offer remote interviews
Like all other initiatives that start off fine, you also do just end up with some upper manager who tells some random middle manager with no experience to make things more DEI and that middle manager does some stupid shit
