Everyone,
my company was bought last year by an American multinational. Before, we never had woke political content at all, but the hallmarks of woke regressive ideology have since started showing up: "pronouns" in signatures, celebration of leftist occurrences, and of course, "pride" month.
There are plenty of great resources online on how to deal with this, but I was wondering what were your suggestions. What I was thinking on top of my head was, asking politely to the sender of various propaganda email to not include me in mailings of socio-political content; and if asked further, clarify that initiatives of clear ideological nature are divisive and that I disapprove of them.
For the record I enjoy considerable job security, it is not easy to replace my position, and it would be extremely easy for me to find job elsewhere if I wanted to. My line manager knows I'm a conservative and backed me when I complained about "pronouns" in signatures.
So, how do you deal with this sort of nonsense yourselves?
That's a good suggestion, but these groups are advertised as being for people of their ilk - that is, for "minorities". It would be seen as against the reason they were instituted to join them to antagonize them.
If I am pinged in Teams however, I will openly ask to stop pinging me for divisive socio-political content. My goal is to be constantly annoying to them while still signalling my resistance and at the same time being respectful, in the hope of attracting similarly-minded employees.
Dude, mennonites are who we should all be emulating.
Giant families that support each other finincially and maintain close ties. Largely self-sufficient. Completely ignorant of all the bullshit we have to deal with because they don't rely on anyone.
If you can join a mennonite family, do it.
I really don't think this is going to fly, it is needlessly antagonizing.
It doesn't have to be antagonistic at all. Just subtly reinterpret their terms and put your support behind them.
For example, diversity can mean one of every race or whatever, but it can also mean that every individual is unique and we should celebrate that. Turn it around by saying that racial quotas, even with good intentions, are dangerous to minorities because it tracks them based on race and could be used for discrimination.
Turn "equity" back into equality and interpret inclusion to mean that all view points, so long as they're both civil and professional, are welcome.
White men are a global minority.
Didn't you hear? Whites are rapidly becoming a minority, and that's a good thing!
