I remember when similar techniques were employed by the Soviets (posters of woman in the army, posters of woman making weapons, etc.) We now consider that to be propaganda.

I am a profesional in the science industry and the profession is so debased I would not recommend my children to get into the field. We all talk about burnout and loss of meaning. We see other eras (eg. the 50s-60s in IBM, Bell Labs, etc.) as a past golden age. This seems to be something generalized and across technical fields.

Instead of focusing on figuring out what happened we have all the HR people working nonstop to try to pump more people into the field and painting it as a rosy.
