Hello all. I’m seeking advice/threads to follow to deal with in the Globohomo 500 world. I work white/blue collar and ended up in such a place, where since pre-Obama the stench of sjw starting stinking, and it’s only gotten worse. Eventually Ill move to some hard blue collar work, but for now this is the best source of fiat, and I look forward to removing my competence from the system eventually.
There has as of yet been no corporate wide pronoun or anti whiteness sort of training, but I’ve been waiting for that shoe to drop for 4+ years. But, what I do know, is the unfireables are absolutely noticeable, raises and promos for years have been tilted, especially in the last 3 years.
Assuming I was going to toil within the belly of the beast for some amount of time longer, what are blogs/books/lines of thought to poke the system with? I 100% understand that if James Damore got removed for his lines of criticism what the landscape is, but the absurdities and competence loss continually increase in ways which are undeniable.
The jewish golem problem is a lever we must make use of while the ground is unstable.
You have two options.
(This applies to anyone else having to deal with various power-plays in large businesses, just as an FYI.)
One, become so critically knowledgeable and indispensable that it is literally impossible to fire you. I've actually seen this done before - a guy I knew and worked with every day(not at the same business, but a business I had to deal with) who got fired in the morning(saw him at lunch and learned the story) and was back at work the next day. His company fucking hated him, but he was too good at his job and knew where all the bodies were buried, so they couldn't get rid of him.
Second, fight fire with fire. Though probably not in the way you're thinking.
DIE and HR basically runs off of tribal and ethnic nepotism. Politics. Old school politics - you get the job not off of wether you can do it or not but who you know. HR and DIE are pure, distilled version of this - they hire people cause they're women or black or indian and everything goes straight to shit, because these people are utterly fucking incompetent, but they are of the tribe and so can do no wrong.
So, do similar. Get to know the guys in power. Buddy buddy up to them. Get to work exchanging favors, go behind HRs back and find the real levers of power. Network the shit out of people. Go out drinking, go to the family BBQs, so on and so forth.
Is it distasteful? Yeah, kinda. Can everyone do it? Fuck, no. I sure can't. But I've seen it work, so I can't fault the results, as much as I hate it otherwise.
If you can't do the above... well, start saving up 'fuck you money', always have an exit strategy, and be prepared to pop smoke and GTFO once the lynch mob starts hungering for blood.
Oh, and never, ever apologize.
