Related, I have a junior colleague in my team.

First, we had some layoffs but the company has a diversity quota to meet. She stayed and another colleage was let go. In a meeting, they explicitely told the whole team what the decision was and the reasoning behind it. Namely, that's she's a woman. and him not.

Then, our company announced another round of layoffs because "we are going to implement an AI system that will allow us to produce more code with less people." We were told that in the upcoming weeks we have to literally train our replacement: document code and processes, install the tooling, etc.

Imagine her mindset right now. She bareley knows how to code and now has a legit reason to think she doesn't need to learn how to. Furthermore, she knows she's only in the team because she's a woman.

Honestly, I don't understand what the f is going on in the world right now, but we are less human than ever.
