Is the job position of "DEI Officer" a cushy do-little job?

In the wake of the murder of George Floyd, it became trendy for corporations, and government/military agencies to “wake up” so to speak, to show they want to make up for past and present ignorance of racial inequality and discrimination including subconscious and institutional discrimination at their companies.
They began hiring “DEI Officers” and in some cases creating “Equity Language Guides”.
Before I continue further, let me address where my bias is or isn’t. Most people publicly calling for abolishment of DEI are Trumpers. I have no respect for Trumpers due to their embrace of conspiracy lies and their approval of Trump’s coup-by-court attempt. So I am not one to normally stand with them on any issue, generally speaking.
However, there have been a few publicized cases of DEI Officers who have taken advantage of the perks of their company’s expense account while accomplishing very little.
Some of them say they were “set up for failure” by their companies.
In other cases, policy changes they have spearheaded seem to be ridiculous. Delta airlines banning the phrase “Ladies and Gentleman”. The Sierra Club advising members to never say the word “Field” to avoid offending Black people and to avoid the phrase “flying blind” to avoid offending blind people.
And realistically speaking, what exactly does a “DEI Officer” do for 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week to justify their high pay?
A recent report came out detailing the Dept. of Education having paid out more than a billion dollars in grants for DEI initiatives. That does not include the money spent by the Dept. of Defense, nor does it include the money spent by private corporations.
I suspect the position of “DEI Officer” is in most cases a cushy, do-little job that can easily be handled by a good HR Officer as part of their normal duties.
I suspect that American corporations and government agencies previously embraced this job title as a symbolic way of showing their “commitment” and that they’re “doing something”, but in reality, accomplishing very little.
I think I probably stand with the Trumpers on this issue, although I’m doing so out of independent thinking rather than being told what to do by Trump and his allied political talk show hosts.
It seems that in the cases where a DEI Officer is actually creating meaningful policy, they only need about 20 hours a week, not 40.
What do you think, or know, about this?
