Saw diversity policies for 30 years working for the fed gov.
All it did was negatively impact the mission and cause animosity in the ranks.
The fact that it was US Navy aviation maintenance still amazes me that there was never a class A mishap and those policies never caused a loss of aircrew.
I picked the “hardest” ASVAB job in the USAF.
Only 2 women and 2 blacks in the entire career field when I was in. Small AFSC as well.
I work in electrical distribution design now, which is extremely white male as well.
It’s just far easier to work with one’s “own kind” and not worry about what you do or say...
