I honestly don't know. Do you seriously think that a company that has a diversity officer "believes" anything differently than one that doesn't?

We should not confuse promoting diversity with enshrining this into bureaucracy in a very specific and, in my opinion, misguided way. There are plenty of examples of these officers making the problem worse.

This isn’t wrong, but in my experience working at both types of companies, the companies that say nothing often tolerate all sorts of toxic behavior that wouldn’t be tolerated elsewhere. So, I now use explicit commitment to DEI as a filter.
