I don't so much say it's beneficial as to say that in any company people will be fired. What does it matter who's hired, really? Most companies hire people based on some form of connection, word of mouth or some manager wanting to f*ck that nice lady one day. "Oh noes, they hired a black, gay or some fat black woman". Who cares? The company will churn through people or people will leave for better jobs. People don't stay at even good jobs long these days anyways. With all the ways people are hired corruptly, what in the hell does it even matter? Companies are inherently corrupt in who they hire to begin with as most public entities are, just in subtly different ways. I as a northern European male could honestly care less. At every company I've been at I've found it always hilarious to see the gay faction, the angry fat black lady faction or other create havoc for the latest little bulging belly, borderline delusional midlife crisis company in crowd.
Let them give the fat 40 something chip eaters at the top of the company some stress. We all hate them anyways.
Your outlook seems fatalistic. What does it matter? When people are hired or fired not based on character or ability but by "identity" we are saying we value symbolism over achievement. Im guessing that does not matter to you, but it does to me.
Dogma isn't good enough.
