Google is far more than a search engine, they have their hands in almost every industry. Alphabet is the parent company of Google and various other companies. Google has thousands of people on their campus and they do anything from coding, cooking, maps, music, decorating, HR, writing, coming up with new ideas and projects. So it's not just search. Search is a very small part of google now.

Engineers with lots of smarts such as James are the reason why these companies are so succesful that they can piss money away off on diversity presidents 100k salary

Yes, total package would be over a mil, maybe only 350-500k in direct salary, but total compensation, you are in the right ball park.

I can't think of those "Diversity Officers" as anything else but pests infesting corporate body.
They are de facto ideological indoctrination officers. Soviets used to have them in the army too, they were called "Politruks" (Political Leaders/Managers"). An organization that thinks that it needs such people is a sick organization.

It's to lower liability of getting sued. They are a liaison for the SJWs so management doesn't have to deal with an employee complaining they didn't get promoted because they are black, or their team is too white.
They have whole sections of just Indian woman in certain buildings, complete with vegetarian only cafeteria.

Sick indeed.
Is it really optional for a company like Google?
Or is it something they're "asked" to have, to keep the various mullahs of city, county, state, national, and international authority off their backs?
What's sick is the kind of people who take such jobs literally. As if it were equally important for a company to be "diverse." As it is to deliver an actual good or service your customers are willing to pay for.

My biggest problem with Diversity Officers and the concept of "diversity is strength" is this:
Where was all of this diversity when industry giants like GE, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, etc. were taking off? If diversity is such strength, then every company should start with a diversity officer to make sure they have the strongest group of people and thus best chance at success.
But no, it's not until these companies are enormous and successful that some asshat comes in and says "you don't have enough blacks/women/hispanics" or "you have too many whites/asians/indians."
They are parasites, plain and simple. Some companies tolerate them, some fold because of them, but at the end of the day they're a detriment to the health of a business.

The problem with diversity is strength is that these companies exist because of sound economics. There is a greater number of white males and asians in tech simply because they are proportionally a larger population of the skilled workers. If they really cared they would be driving for software enegineering education programs in jails, abortion clinics, rehab, hair salons, and genital reassignment centers
