Unsurprisingly you are getting downvoted for pointing out the obvious. That and the continued migration from an engineering focused organization to a penny pinching bean counting org after the McDonnell Douglas reverse takeover.
- firesteelrain 2y agoI suspect the downvoting is because its perceived this is a dig at DEI hires rather than nepotism or non-qualified candidates.

- jjnoakes 2y agoThe underqualified non-diversity hire is also a thing. There is no reason to bring identity into it. Just discuss underqualified workers in general.
- d_theorist 2y agoThere is a reason, because DEI introduces non-merit-based criteria for hiring, which necessarily results in less qualified hires.
- noworriesnate 2y agoThe context you're missing is that being "diverse" makes you more likely to be hired than you otherwise would be, but being "diverse" doesn't make you better at the job. If we had the conversation inside the guardrails you're describing we wouldn't be able to describe reality.
- nvy 2y agoSure, nepotism and corruption also exist. Sometimes hiring managers just get it wrong, and there is nothing nefarious afoot. There are of course also "diverse" people that get unfairly overlooked because racism, but underqualified diversity hires still exist. Multiple things can simultaneously be true.
- fisf 2y agoIf the result of political correctness is an inability to point out competency problems (for whatever reasons), then we have major issues.

- OlleTO 2y agoThe issue is that the original comment is just a baseless assertion that Boeing is having issues due to identity politics, and not anything of substance. Not liking those sort of unsubstantiated politically motivated claims is not "political correctness".
- smsm42 2y agoNepotism is as much "hire people for who they are" as DEI is. It's just that nepotism is ages old and DEI is a relatively recent fad.
- ryandrake 2y agoIf OP actually meant "nepotism" then why not just say nepotism and not be so vague?
