I am White, and I'm using a fruit/vegetable stand (store really, stand sounds better in English) as an example.
Companies prefer DEI over people that are competent. Intel just hired another indian to their c-suite. With jugaad and izaat, companies are doomed to fail.
If the people are unqualified, then the business will fail. And you don't want to work for a business that would purposefully fail anyway. That would be silly.
A quick look at Intel top executives reveals half of them are white.
A blanket statement like "Companies prefer DEI over people that are competent" just doesn't hold water. Again, while that may perhaps be true for some companies, they will not be able to compete with companies that choose the most capable/dependable candidates for advancing their bottom line. This is how business has always worked. I guess I don't see where your grievance is. Why are you worried about working for a company that you believe is doomed to fail?
Why are you not able to get a license or certification?
The biggest companies are in a race to the bottom of the toilet. And how does it not hold much water? We constantly hear about layoffs in the thousands and tens of thousands, followed by those same companies applying for thousands of h1b visas.
The bottom of what? Your list of things that make you happy? While valid, that would be a whole different conversation. Companies are primarily measured by their shareholder profits. They often maximize those profits through layoffs and other non friendly means.
I don't know specifically which companies you have in mind when you say "biggest" but a quick search will reveal: "Pretax corporate profits recently reached their highest share of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) in history, and the combined earnings of major corporate indexes continue to break records".
You read constantly about record breaking quarters and executive bonuses. They're getting rich af! By every business metric they are in a race to the stratosphere of wealth. It's a great time to be an elite.
