It seems common to me. It's likely to become even more prevalent if ESG quotas/rankings become entrenched into the financial sector which appears possible. Just anecdotally, a coworker of mine was promoted into a role he had no skills or history for (in a completely different department) because the HR head demanded it. We had to hire a second guy to 'train' him into his role but it's been a year and the hire is still the go-to for those role responsibilities. It seems to me to be silly at best and delusional at worst, but who knows. We'll see in the end.
