I was a supervisor for them when I was in college, and even back in the 00's that place was a complete shitshow. We had a nutjob regional manager who outright told us that unless you were a woman or a gay man you'd never get a managerial position.

People think Mississippi is backwards and behind the times, but I know someone was told in 1998 by a tech company that, though they liked his skills, they couldn't hire a white guy. Turns out, Mississippi is over twenty years ahead of even progressives.

Neither, I left the company, despite the admittedly fantastic benefits, to go work in my field of study.

I make more than their regionals now anyways, and I don't smell like coffee all the time. Win/Win.

Haha I just saw you were a supervisor and you should she only promoted gays and ladies.

And fuck yeah mate! Good on you! I busted my ass thru school too and now I make more than most people in my field of study cause I just got lucky some doctor was desperate for someone to run his lab. I love how all you pedes are badasses with success stories and when I had liberal friends, they were all on welfare with no ambition or jobs or a penny to their name.

I think it comes down to this: Broken feedback loops.

What I mean is, we view ourselves as individuals with the agency to affect our own lives. If something bothers us or hinders us, we figure out a way to surmount or bypass it and keep on going. We adapt and overcome, by reacting to the feedback we get.

People who embrace collectivism and victimhood, when faced with an obstacle, simply sit on the floor crying about it (mostly on Social media) and never accomplish much. They ignore the feedback of their situation, and simply try the same failed thing over and over.

As the old Jewish proverb goes: "The best revenge is to live well"
