I work in tech and the company I work for moved from donating to Trump in 2016 to full blown diversity and inclusion, pride month, microaggression training and if you are a white male you need to shut up, a bit exaggerating ofc. Mostly you need to allow minorities and women to speak and make mistakes because mistakes are a learning experience but only if you are not a white male. You also need to walk on egg shells all the time.
I've not seen to much anti-white hiring practices but that may be do to a shortage, I hear that HR/ recruiters are having a hard time finding new engineers of late. So I've not seen any change outside of training and some pride month stuff that I've mostly ignored.
I recently got a non-anonymous survey related to stuff like diversity and all of that.
Not one question was about if you support this direction change, all of them were along the lines of are we doing enough towards diversity and inclusion and global social and environmental issues.
There was no option to say I do not agree with your DIE initiative. Not that I would have said anything as I would probably get black listed as this survey is done via HR.
They're having trouble finding 'minorities'. They're having zero problems getting and shit canning a ton of White guys resumes.
Get out of large corp IT.
Complain about the lack of midgets because midgets make everyone happy
Good point.
How come little people don't get better representation on the progressive stack?
Is it because they are low to the ground and no one can hear them?
They can't climb any higher up the victimhood ladder.

Sounds like a workplace harassment settlement check just waiting for your name on it.
If you don't want to do that, I'd paper human resources with workplace complaints. Use their rules against them. Claim you feel harassed at work, don't feel welcome, or represented, all the usual lefty talking points.
That shit doesn't work when you are the white male privileged colonial cishet oppressor.
I doesn't have to work. You just need to create the paper-trail to prove they aren't doing anything about your complaints. Then you instigate a lawsuit with your evidence.
This assumes a functional rule of law, which we do not have.
Come on, don't be so black-pilled! If Alex Jones can get his day in court, SURELY there is a chance for all of us....
Man I have plans to start identifying as a bearded transmasculine women, but just keep chickening out on pulling the trigger. Coz you can't do it half way and give even a hint that you kidding, have to go all in, serious like. "No I don't plan to do any surgeries, or take hormones, I'm happy with how I look. Implying that a masculine presenting woman is not a real woman is hurtful and is a microaggression"
If you lie you become part of the problem. The goal isn't to convince people, but to have everyone lying.
Are you obligated to answer and return this non-anonymous survey? Sounds treacherous.
On the other hand, it's fun sometimes to tell people what they want to hear and bask in the glory of having lied to their faces, all the while they thought you were complimenting them/ The backhanded face slap.
Is not mandatory per say but my manager asked me to do it.
You should probably keep forgetting to fill it out, take a day off here and there, and just never get around to returning it. That's what I might try. Keep us updated.
There really should be some MAGA(for lack of a better descriptor) job board or connection portal.
I was let go for refusing the jab, things were already stressed thanks to politics but I took the package, left of good terms.
In every position I have gone out for, there seems to be the same undercurrent of GSE speak, that I keep thinking is going to fuck me up if I proceed with any of these corps.
Luckily they never implemented a vaccine mandate. It would have been ridiculous since most of us were working from home.
Didn't stop my previous company, Belcan.
It was surreal. In September, they issued a notice that a vaccine mandate would be implemented due to federal regulation, then when the Biden administration lost the OSHA case, they immediately sent out another email that they were going to go ahead with the mandates anyway, with even stricter requirements. (e.g. remote employees also required to get the jab.)
They had already implemented a self-reporting vaccination portal. My plan, had I needed to stay with the company, was to just ignore all of it. Not respond to any HR emails, don't fill out any surveys, nothing. Unless it came from a direct manager, and then my response would be, "I'm not doing that, and if that means that I can't work here any more, so be it."
Someone tried making one a few years back. Issue you have is at some point you have a resume with your name on it on a site with a target painted on its back. They tried to anonymize it to some extent, but there were some people on there whose work is so niche you could figure out who it was.
I'm expecting my future will involve taking cash/crypto under the table to keep old non-pozzed tech working and defeating new GAE systems (eg mandatory ignition interlocks if they ever force those on people).
I work for a big corporation so they love diversity. Good benefits but they go on and on about DIE. On the survey I said they were obsessed with diversity and need to focus on getting qualified people
Sucks. Happened to me last year. Quit a job over it. I left around the same time as a bunch of other experienced guys, and from what I hear from people who stuck around they had to cancel a bunch of projects because they didn't have any experienced people to work on them. Not that it matters much to some giant conglomerate.
Take it as motivation to get your "fuck you" money if you don't have it already. Easier to do for us techies than many, yet lot of guys don't. Buys you options and flexibility.
Time to slow down your pace, even with reduced output you still perform much better than most minorities. I cut my workload in half and still get rave reviews from management.
I think everyone has been reducing output. I've been slacking a bit for the past year or so. Not out of spite or anything, just to tiered from lack of sleep. I ended up top in metrics, and like almost 30% more then the next guy. I guess the pandemic and political strife and all that is lowering productivity for everyone.
My point :P I'm already not doing my best, but I do try to do a good job as I just feel like shit if I do not.
That hits a little too close to home as a fellow tech person.
No! We need more diversity and more bias training! Accelerate!
Sabotage from the inside your company without ever giving yourself away.
I'm so unimportant to the company that I can hardly do anything
Then just don't show up/log in at times. If they complain, ask them what you do that's so important.
