Nobody told me there'd be days like these.
I was only joking

You ignore it at the peril of your career, Mr. Bond.

And that’s when the killings began.

I imperil my career just fine on my own, thank you. (And seriously, the woke shit has caused me legitimate problems at work. I only find it so funny.)

Working from home insulates one from the need to address, care in any way, about wokeness in the workplace. That matters, because break room conversations can sometimes be opportunities for the woke to sniff out Others or to confirm their speculation about potential Others. Ever been asked to emote on the spot about how disgusted you are about some right wing political thing? I have. But not anymore.
Education is extremely important.

@Horace "Ever been asked to emote on the spot about how disgusted you are about some right wing political thing?"
What's wrong with the bluntly indifferent response? "I don't care about any of that stuff. I need you to help me with XYZ project." You do that often enough and they'll dismiss you as a potential Other and stop asking.
No?

No. Not if you're a white guy.

Sometimes our Vice Presidents who give quarterly results presentations to the company are called upon to publicly address diversity and inclusion topics. They even have to answer unscripted questions about it. Good luck having ambition to rise up the corporate ranks if you can’t at least pretend convincingly that you’re on board with all things woke.

@Aqua-Letifer: Gawd, it's enough to make you want to shoot yourself.

Yes, a quote from Lennon is absolutely in order at this point.

My biggest concern is the dismantling of equality for equity… That scares the ever loving crap out of me.

Right? Have fun flying Woke Airlines.

DEI Statements are becoming de rigueur for company websites. I honestly don’t believe that 70% of the people out there understand that there is a difference between equality and equity and what that difference truly means.

Are there really enough woke customers to make a significant, long lasting effect on the bottom line?
Yes. People are idiots.

A mediocre piece of pop cultural rabble never has as much power as they do when they, as an employee of a large company, email HR or management and inquire why the owner and presidents of the company haven’t made a public statement of solidarity after the George Floyd incident. That was the context in which the owner of the company I work for was coerced into a public display of wokedom. A Vice President of Inclusion and Diversity position soon followed. It became, to hear our owner speak of it, one of the highest company priorities going forward. So the black folk raised in decent neighborhoods by decent parents will get their upper middle class jobs handed to them, while low status blacks raised in broken cultures will continue to lead mattering-challenged lives as cannon fodder in the leftist culture wars.
