5. Bari Weiss: DEI Hire

Ah, the "pretend collaboration" phase that's standard in all these rightwing liquidation clean-outs.

Can you imagine ANY CEO coming into a new company and just asking around, "hey folks, how can I talk you into the a vision for this company that's completely counter to how you've always run, completely counter to standard industry principles and ethics, and is likely to damage your own professional reputation? Oh, and if anyone can tell me what the entry level employees do at this company because I have no experience at ALL in what we do here, that would also be great!"

As a (small-time) CEO myself, I'll tell you: most CEOs are coached to do the exact opposite, because otherwise that's how you lose all your best people during the transition. But that seems likely to be the point.
