So many slides to say nothing lol. Except they measure every employees sense of belonging with an "inclusion score"? That's some meaningless foid shit.

I've seen this stuff at companies I worked at. HR foids would write incredible quantities of
that looked exactly like this, giant 100-page documents, infographics, it was dizzying. I guess they had nothing else to do all day. The thing is, as much as they make it sound like they're steering the direction of the company (that's the point of all the 
) nobody else would read any of that and it would never influence anything. I think any company that has these is smart enough not to let those people get in the way of real work.
Sometimes they would have diversity events with cookies or whatever, which people would happily eat and then move on. They seemed nice enough, but
other than that you'd never know they existed. Basically I'm saying that I bet none of this stuff means anything for the actual game development

It does have an impact, depending on how HR operates. Some departments are very into everyone else's business and will browbeat you. The one place I worked at had HR force document and code changes for words that reminded them of black people. The other place has HR obsessing over how to prevent any theoretical trauma during onboarding.
Most of them had a veneer of nicety but they were just like the crazy christian proselytizers who only liked you if you did what they wanted. "Firm but gentle hand" and all that.
