worked for a large corporation for the past 10 years. Since May, the non-stop left wing propaganda emails have been nauseating to say the least. About a month ago, I received an email stating that I need to sign up for “racial sensitivity training.” I began looking at the other names on the invite, all were white males.

I questioned my manger and was told that it is being done by design, all white males in the company will go through this training. I laughed and went about my business, never signing up for the 6 hour long bull shite fest.

Today, my manger walks into my office asking why I didn’t sign up and that the training is tomorrow. I said “because I’m not listening to left wing bull shite about how I’m a terrible, racist and privileged person for being born a white guy.” I was told if I don’t attend the seminar, that I would be terminated. I simply said “well frick it, I quit.”

As I started packing my things, my manager began to crawfish. Saying “woah wait, I didn’t really mean that. You probably wouldn’t be terminated, but it will look bad on your record.” Little did they know, I already signed an offer letter on Monday with a new employer, and planned on turning in my notice tomorrow.

TL;DR
Go woke, lose good employees


None of this happened

I left my prior employer earlier in the year just as they were starting to go super woke. The diversity person has their pronouns on their LinkedIn profile.

I’ve also seen people with their pronouns in their email signatures recently. How self entitles do you have to be to tell people who you should be mentioned.

So did you quit because they required you to go through that bullshite or because you accepted another job? In other words, would you have quit if you didn't have the other job?

You don’t work there anymore. Tell us the name of the company so we can avoid them.

I honestly don't care what you want to be called. Whatever floats your boat. But I'm not remembering individual people's pronouns so I don't care what you put in your email signature.

which part did you make up?

Are you saying the person in charge of said eMail was bright enough to form a proper blind destinatary group eMail?

Or are you saying their venom was such that they purposefully revealed all destinataries?

Just wait till you have to do gender sensitivity training. Was the most confusing thing of my life


I know a teacher whose school required all of the employees attend this one.

It seems pretty fricking terrible. They really should read this book before they consider all of this gender bullshite.

Its actually based on facts.

So if they are male they have "him" on their profile? Wouldn't that be obvious if their sex is male?

I really want to believe this happened the way you say it did, verbatim, but I'm not sure.

Large is a relative term. I know someone passed over for an inferior candidate, because they checked two boxes.

This was fifteen years ago, in one of this country's largest corporations (possibly the largest pharmaceutical company).

I used to laugh, and say thank God for Europe.

I've now realized this country exports everything.
