Blaming an outage on DEI... Man that's a new one for me.
Could you let us know where you work? I want to make sure I never apply there.

You don’t think the steady erosion in system reliability and ever increasing outages is unrelated to these pressures do you?
I’ve seen the sausage being made at the middle manager level in big corp for a long time. It’s never any one person/hiring decision, but the pattern and it’s impact has been obvious (and getting unavoidable) for a long time.
That no one seems to want to talk about the actual issues, but doing character assassination and black listing (like this comment) is part and parcel of the problem.
Outages have steadily decreased at major companies. I don't know what you're looking at.
Remember AWS taking out a good chunk of the internet many times a year because their east coast data center kept going down? Remember the fail whale meme-ing because Twitter was so unstable?
Industry site reliability has only gotten better over the years.
I’m sure AT&T, Google, Facebook/Whatsapp/Meta, BofA, Apple, MS, and many others who have had prominent massive outages and embarrassing product launch failures this year will be happy to hear this.
Notably, Amazon is one of the few companies that has managed to avoid a lot of the DEI noise somehow. Perhaps due to their reputation for having such a brutal work culture already?
I can’t wait to hear what you’re going to say next.
