this is in reference to super-alignment & safety, but my cousin also had her DEI team disbanded and “distributed” in the same way
on the surface, i think safety, DEI, and similar topics should be embedded in the culture and not centralized into a specific team. centralization would cause people to say, “oh that’s not my job”.
then again, any time a centralized team is disbanded, my immediate thought is, “apparently safety/DEI/etc. doesn’t matter to this company”. it’s a paradox, i suppose
