If the skin color preference was reversed, can you imagine the outrage in the MSM. This will be crickets.
Just another indication of how screwed up defense contracting is. This crap goes all the way up the DOD acquisition bureaucracy to the top. It's a symptom of the mess that caused the DOD to buy a POS aircraft.
Put them put of business,if they do not fire the executives, unceremoniously for doing this.
Musk can use more business.
Hospitals/ Healthcare Systems are worse.
Especially at the corporate levels.
Medicare could save oodles.
Their shareholders ought to sue them into the ground.

dei worked so well at boeing...
I retired from Lockheed Martin in January, and that is an absolute fact. I retired a couple of years early because I was fed up with the woke stupidity. The older one gets, the more difficult it is to do stupid. My wife retired in April; we're on an awesome month-long road trip and have seen 20 states so far. Screw them...
DEI aka Dumbass Employees Incorporated
So many companies that were forced into DEI stuck the token large black female into the HR lead role, thinking it would be the least harmful place for them. They were wrong.
Lockheed Martin is an extension of government. Such korporate extension of government is right out of the definition of Fascism.
It was going on for decades when I worked there. Thankfully retired 14 years ago.
Btt
Its a company based in the Capital, whose deals are all made in “the swamp,” whose employees live in the swamp, all getting paid via US Govt spending / debt
We should expect no less.
DEI has imploded at lightening speed.....BECAUSE IT WAS CLEARLY ILLEGAL.
Let the lawsuits begin.
I may have to dump my LMT stock.
The promotion of unqualified women over well qualified men has been a problem at Lockheed for decades.
Exec’s oriented towards profit, as they shold be since they take an oath, frequently behave like abject cowards when some woketard out of HR prattles on getting public acceptance.
I ran into the same issue when rewarding a contract in AT&T. The “affirmative action” group (I.e., DEI by any other name) called me in for a “discussion” when I was not going to “correctly evaluate” a minority vendor so that they would get the contract. I told them that our mutual boss (a Veep) made it quite clear that rewards be on merit. They were not happy but knew that if they pushed any further I’d simply go to the Veep and ask if his mandates applied.
The headquarters of Lockheed Martin is in Bethesda, Maryland.
I do not really need to explain more than that.
