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.
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.
