Not whining or caring either for that matter; and for "engaging" to make sense all the parties involved would have to be ready for some constructive discussion.
Okay. Can you point to any studies performed around performance of diverse hires causing problems in the workplace?
Because a lot of workplaces I know that have had "problem hires" who argue with people or flaunt their position have generally exhibited entitlement that links to being white or male (like myself). Do HR firms ever pick people to check a box, in a rush to avoid an all-white panel? Yes, and they could do better in their practices. Whenever I hear that happen, it tends to be isolated incidents - not a habit that leads to a nonfunctional workplace. I admit, that comes from shared anecdotes, but it often feels common-sense. If you'd like to find proof on that subject, I'd be eager to discuss it.
The "Hopefully it seldom happens (and this phenomenon predates “DEI”)." says no. There's ample coverage on discrimination in the workplace, but not specific to DEI or positive discrimination, the focus tends to be on the negative. Yes, negative is bad, but i think positive discrimination is almost just as bad.
I'd get it if you were to link entitlement to positions of power (mostly held by white males, yes), not to race or gender.
Agreed. Specifically to hiring technical jobs i don't think HR should be the first interview at all.
Bringing me back to the "seldom happens" as all i have are anecdotes as well.
