This same guy loses a job to a woman? It's all quotas and affirmative action, of course. Can't possibly be on merit.

Bc their metric for merit is not "do we have the top performers/most talented engineers?"

It's "are the demographics of this place consistent with people like myself--and of course, I'm a top performer."

No meritocracy would emphasize "culture fit" the way the tech industry does. I have seen people get negged for the dumbest reasons.

Culture fit most definitely has a place in meritocracies.
