I have lost out on 2 occasions when I know for a fact that I was the far better candidate. In both cases, the AA hire was a dismal failure and one of the companies approached me 6 months later after the AA hire left the company.

Working for DHS, I was told that "There are too many old white men" in the department. I was about to be interviewed for a promotion. They told me it would be good practice for next time. Later, a manager took me out to the parking lot and told me, "Treat this guy with kid gloves, and you know why". I'll take a polygraph that both these things are true. Btw, they hired the minority who I had to help with her reports three years later.
I (as a white male) was told "not to bother" applying to work at NCAR in Boulder when touring with my meteorology class in the early 90s. Having seen their Cray supercomputer I was all in on signing up.
This is how Communism works. It is totally insane. And since the insanity levels everything in its path, society runs to ruin by sheer incompetence and misallocation of all resources including capital ... the whole thing fails. The caveat is that it took the Soviets seventy-five years to shipwreck th ship of state. But on the other hand, the United States and its tawdry empire now seems to be fast tracking.
Here's an example ... Green Everything. Take EV ... and now reports of car battery chemical fires which cannot be the fire department, some burning down house with attached garages. And now I heard in a financial news video that the inside scoop is that auto makers are pestering congress to change the regulations because nobody wants electric vehicles. Shifts had to be shut down because the shine is off.
DEI hires are, in economic parlance, a misallocation of labor.
Been there myself, after twenty years in Kodak as a power plant engineer, got passed over because I was the wrong color and sex. Proven to me by friends in the business. There aren’t a lot of us,so the community is very small, and everyone knows everyone else. We were highly sought at one time, and about thirty years ago, things changed.

I told them to pound sand.
