I'd honestly be interested to see the exact opposite of this. Employers who prioritize running their business instead of social theatre.

Same thing, any company putting diversity and inclusion first is a huge red flag to me and I usually stop my own hiring process.

As a capitalist I consider any strategies other than "Hire the best individuals as long as they are also good teammates" the only viable strategy. And I am wary of anyone doing something else.

"Let's hire more black people" does not seem like a viable strategy. And the message sent to the person actually hired is terrible. "Yeah we hired you because we needed to appear more inclusive".

If someone built the opposite product I would be interested, would help me not waste time with company I share no common ideals.
