I recently worked for a government organization. DEIA (accessibility) was omnipresent. That's not a bad thing, for the reasons others have pointed out. Lots of recruiting in non-traditional places, for instance. However, there was no need to trot out, as you called them, "diversity hires" because when they would announce the new hires, they would just be diverse. I'm trying to imagine your scenario and cringe. Have you thought of raising your concerns with HR or even townhall feedback, if your company has such a thing (one of mine did and they actually acted on some of my suggestions)? The actions sound well-intentioned but clueless so they just may need to be clued in.
