> There are a lot of people who at least know enough technical jargon to probably work in IT or technology but they're using arguments like "it must be because of a DEI hire"

There is a certain type of tech person (well, they probably exist elsewhere, but the tech variety is particularly noisy) who seems absolutely determined to use this one every time a company does something stupid; there seems to be an odd unwillingness to blame _process_, rather than some sort of imagined individual saboteur (who would, preferably, in the minds of these people, be someone other than a straight white man).

A particularly extreme example, to the point that it almost read as parody; when the door plug blew out of that 737, there was a certain amount of fixation by the weirdos on Twitter on how the pilot was a woman. Quite how this was supposed to have anything to do with it was unclear.

The whole thing is pretty weird, and feels quite new. Sometimes, a poorly-run company is just a poorly-run company.
