You seem to have missed that meritocracy has recently become a bad word and undesirable in some political circles.

I also did (miss that). Could you explain, or were you just drawing conclusion from the Wang's «There is a mistaken belief that meritocracy somehow conflicts with diversity»?

Edit: I think I found an acronym in this page that I cannot recall ever meeting (at least, never so strongly highlighted), and I suspect that is the reference (to political circles).

Edit 2: but really, has there been anywhere an explicit attack declaring "meritocracy" a "bad" concept? Or is it just an implicit perception/conclusion?

I’ve worked at 2 saas companies that both declared this. Out loud. In writing. In all hands meetings.

HR departments went buck wild
