You see it everyday at any large company, people getting promoted on skin color or gender and not qualifications, having the LBGTQXYZ crap forced on you, and "networks" taking precedent over getting work done.


We are doing our next round of promotions, identifications of up and comers, and round of new hire interviews.

We are strongly encouraged to take our unconscious bias training prior to any interview or discussion. Additionally, we were told 3/5 new interns will be women. No wiggle room.

We are in shock that someone has such gentle feelings that a conversation about how the military has gone woke (aka soft) has turned into this.

What’s your story if you’ve been personally affected by the wokeness and not just watched it on TV?

so you weren't actually affected by something being 'woke', you were affected by a mouth breathing co-worker that wanted to chat about 'wokeness' that hasn't affected him either

I get emails from my organization that are invitations to join what amounts to a hand-wringing apology club. People put pronouns on their Zoom screen and emails, though I'm seeing less of that over the last 6 months.

I hired one. I had to send them home the day Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted because they yelled at the owner of the company for being happy about the verdict. Luckily, they saved me the joy of firing them by quitting. They had to be raised this way.

Yeah, I do want everyone to agree that they should be acting professional in the work place and not discuss any type of controversial beliefs with clients. What a wild concept.

Learned a sales lesson many years ago that seems apropos to your situation-

Sometimes the best deal you make is to not make one and walk away. It appears you dodged a major bullet with this particular customer.

We’re way past the point of ignoring them. Part of the reason they’re so prevalent today is because we spent too long pretending they didn’t exist and now we have a transportation secretary whose only qualifications are being gay.

Ridicule is the only answer.

I just found a black baby in my King Cake.

I just laughed though. Not upset by it.

Probably should be called a Kang Cake.

The OP asked if anyone actually dealt with wole culture; the poster supplied an example of it happening at work. Didn’t you JUST type out how stupid it is to bring up politics at work?

Why does it upset you so much that someone has actually encountered woke/progressive culture in the workplace?
