I do not see Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle on the list. I know they all push diversity but it is interesting to see they would not put themselves on a list that may backfire later.
"Oh, you're making a list of class-action-lawsuitable companies and want us to sign on? Tempting, I mean, we do love to waste bales of money on virtue signals, but... Not today, I think."
Maybe it's just my tinfoil hat talking, after they went overconfident and decided to collaborate with Marina Abramovic who is quite obscure except being well-known for acting like a cult figure, that video got downvoted to oblivion and Microsoft probably? privated that video, ever since then they realised their complacency and dialed back their wokeness.
Microsoft knows to an absolute certainty that their development process would grind to an absolute halt without South Asian, Northeast Asian and white males. Once they realized they weren’t gonna get brownie points for the thousands of cubicles full of Indian dudes, they probably had a meeting and said “fuck it.” I’m sure they have a bunch of programs internally to hire women and blacks, but they’re not gonna let that get anywhere near a material part of the operation.
I remember that, I actually wanted a HoloLens before that promotion. I thought they were a very interesting technology and something that might really change the world of computers.
Kind of glad they did it, I wouldn't be happy if I spent a few thousand on a glorified Oculus Rift. Talk about underdelivering.

Think I'll invest more in them, they seem to be very anti-woke lately, they didn't even sign the bullshit misogyny pledge.

They did not sign it because this is pointless and can be used by white employees to sue them for discrimination later. Nothing related to being woke.
Fair point. Still, they haven't really done anything evil lately.
