The policy is only one part of it. No more 360 peer reviews. Allowing a diversity group then eliminating it. Announcing it all with a blogpost. And more.

It’s putting up with terrible leadership that seems to want to keep their heads buried in the ground and not have to deal with anything.

Most companies don't have 360 reviews or diversity groups, that's normal policy. It seems odd because they reversed their decision, but that is also reasonable.

It's not terrible leadership, I think it's just poorly communicated.
