The culture war is real. This was one bubble that made it to the surface. Inside every company, woke cliques are vying for influence. They plant their flag for all to see, and it ends up funny, stupid and counterproductive. Along their way to power, they make their workplace hell, and true competent talent flees. This is happening in almost every company in the world.

It's indeed a symptom of the culture war happening inside every company's management. There must be a clique that pushed for these changes for a while and they finally got their say. They planted their conquest flag for all to see, and it's funny, stupid and counterproductive. Along their way, they no doubt made the workplace a living hell and true talent fled.
