And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Hey, everyone, gather round. Let's hire based on appearance and/or membership in a grievance group! Forget merit, this will work! I promise!
Computers non-functional at work this morning. By lunch about half of their function restored. We'll see how much we have by the end of the day. Thanks Crowdstrike!
DEI is perhaps a good idea for a barista or the front counter at Mickey D's, but for a brain surgeon, Secret Service agent or cyber security, notsomuch.
Back in 96 I worked for a division of Dunn & Bradstreet Software when they announced a diversity in management program. I didn't get another promotion and the company went under in 2002. Fast forward to 2010 I was working for a division of Rockwell Collins when they a management diversity program. It took me a year and a half to find another job. Rockwell got bought out where it was chopped up and everything was sold off. Diversity is suicide for a company.
I was passed over twice for a much deserved promotion to dei hires with significantly less experience. At one point a much higher up even told me it was my job to fix the dei mistakes or I’ll get scapegoated. So I left and EVERYONE was pissed (their golden goose was gone) and made my two remaining time a living hell.
47 years of writing code. My frequent statement: "I write code for fun but get paid to fixed the bugs". Retired for six years. Still coding, again for fun, but I don't get paid for the fixes. 😇😂
At my former employer, the work contract for the IT department specified weekdays only, 9 AM to 5 PM. (don't ask...) The ships and associated employees were on the OFFSHORE domain, while all the VPs, managers, and other office weenies were on the ONSHORE domain.
Well, sometime after 5 PM, the networks would invariably go down. If this happened on a Friday or sometime during the weekend, and the failure affected the OFFSHORE domain, all 14 of our ships lost telephone, email, FTP, etc. until after 9 AM on Monday.
If, on the other hand, the ONSHORE domain went down, the VPs, etc. would "suggest" to IT that the issue be remedied immediately.
Because the ship field service team I was part of knew and worked with the IT guys, we managed to get field service switched to the ONSHORE domain...
Embrace DEI.... brick a billion computers. How ironic, a concept that unfortunately is beyond the grasp of DEI leftists.

DeleteDitto. Went to work last night, whole multi-hospital's computers dwon since 2200 Thursday.

They should have named their company Airstrike.
That would be closer to the mark.
Extinction level event for Crowdstrike.... I just set a stop-loss order with my broker.

DeleteDEI is such horseshit. I am sad at how far the US has sank in common sense.
