Edit: I'm sorry, I regret posting this. I was in a bad mood, and you are not personally at fault for capitalism being evil, it was stupid and tasteless to belittle your career. You seem like a good person and you didn't deserve it.
None of the advances in workers rights or DEI have been due to psychologists convincing CEOs with facts and logic. You are confusing your role with that of a union, a civil rights lawyer, or a political activist and you are rewriting the history of hard fought victories as merely scientific breakthroughs in operating efficiency.
The difference is, those on the outside and the bottom want to challenge existing power structures, while you are advising managers how best to maintain those structures.
