In my daughter's line of work, they pretty much won't promote you if you are not J_wish or LGBTQ, BIPOC, Refugee, or a son/daughter/niece or nephew of one of their cronies.
But if you are a straight, white, non-Semite that is educated, experienced, smart, loyal and hard working, they'll be happy to have you be their 'assistant', gopher, or other lower level position forever, paying you as little as possible, because they hold the power and you (previously) could never criticize them.
I can tell you this is music to my ears.
