Wonder what it should be called here ?
Sadly there are people who use the diversity / gender / racial badge as a way to obtain promotions, without having any capability behind it, then will use same badge to silence anybody who refuses to support their personal career path. The worst thing they do is to destroy the career paths of others, everybody remembers X who was here and totally incompetent. So people later get judged against someone elses incompetences rather than their own capabilities.
In businesss saw it first hand when doing a contract, Toxic Tracey had got to senior position by doing so, a new CEO, also female but from another division came in. Toxic Tracey tied the "we sisters to stand together" at a half yr team briefing. New CEO spoke about diversity and looking after people irrespective of gender, colour etc, then said people wanting to stand together based on anything need to have the work behind them first. Toxic Tracey became Tearful Tracey when she realised writing was on the wall, 1 month later Tracey was no more and her path to untold wealth via unfair dismissal case was over when her expenses showed what she was up to. Summary dismissal for fraud and a legal claim by company for repayment of money which was successful did wonders for morale.
