I work for an insurance company and every all employee meeting we hear about the desire to fight systematic oppression, what we are doing to combat that, and how we can promote diversity. The CEO even worried about how we don't have a good diversity of thought and how we need to make people more comfortable being themselves. But throughout the whole meeting it's heavily implied that conservative voices aren't wanted. He even made a comment that implied trump is a joke. Not to mention we won't go back to the office until 2021. Just needed to vent where people will get me.
Edit: just made it a bit more vague so i don't accidently dox myself. I trust you guys, but i'd rather be careful.
then don't, just be sure to vote. play the game, take their money, plan and find your exit. The pandemic will end nov 3 midnight and hiring will begin again everywhere I am certain, take heart, you need to be friendly but not friends with coworkers... jsut my opinion...
I have a few coworkers who are also fed up with race baiting and such. No other trump supporters i know of though. But yeah we're all quiet here.
You have more than a few coworkers who feel that way. Trust me, you are not as outnumbered as you think.
I was just wondering... has anyone asked the CEO when he will replace x% of the C-level and board with POC, starting with his position? Maybe get a background campaign going while pretending to be mega- 'woke' about it, then threatening to blast them on social media if they answer anything negative or retaliate against you?
Pretty sure the CEO will STFU pretty quickly (either on his own, or the board of directors will force him to STFU about it...)
I think my company already did that unfortunately.
BTW, we are not the only ones who see these posts and comments, so your concern about not doxxing yourself is a valid one.
Very true. I constantly self-censor myself here to avoid being doxed. I personally know a lot of minions of the Tolerant Left™, some of who make no secret that they lurk Reddit T_D trying to "find" me by recognizing my speech-patterns etc and/or personal details I unwisely toss out there. (Because as good little Cancel Culture muppets, they are desperate for targets of opportunity and would delight in "exposing" my true thoughts and other transgressions against "wokeness.")
>Joke's on them, they may/may not know about this place yet (and I haven't been back to Reddit in months.)
Stop caring about being called a racist. It's a made up word with a meaning that keeps changing. Its only purpose is to suppress differing opinions on any issue.

Excerpt:
"Will not accept the results of a valid election"
They can try, but by that point the President has lots of options open to him that electioneering will no longer stand in the way of.
We can start with firing Fauci and half the CDC, getting the DoJ rolling on lots of stuff that is sorely overdue, cutting off all federal funding to states which refuse to re-open (no federal funding for any related endeavor that is closed due to COVID - e.g. no school/student funding/backing if the college is closed, etc)... can even invoke the Insurrection Act if they get snotty enough.
Sure, but when you're trying to maximize voters, it helps to deny the enemy anything they can construct a narrative around...
Whut?
It’s part of DHHS
True. I'll delete it.
and those of us hedging for this type of outcome, is why you see a run on guns, ammo, and chest rigs.
They won't even be done counting till January.
So when the electoral college convenes in mid December for the actual presidential election, they do what exactly?
This actually brings up an interesting constitutional question. Amendment 20 says that the term of the president and VP end at noon on January 20, and the terms of their successors begins at the same time. But what if there aren’t any successors because they haven’t been chosen yet? The office of the President can’t be vacant, and yet there’s nobody to fill it
Rush was saying last week that in this exact scenario, the speaker of the house (Pelosi) gets to select the President. Can anyone confirm this?
All representatives are up for re-election, and their term ends on Jan 3. If they are still counting ballots in Commiefornia then Nasty Nancy might not be there.
Although who am I kidding, Commiefornia will claim to have counted every vote-by-mail in pleanty of time and will have all of their electors and representatives in place...
They are going to delay the count in PA, MI, WI, OH, and FL.
If you read the 20th amendment, it states that if no president is selected by Jan 20th, then congress decides the president. In section 4, it seems to state that the House decides the president and the Senate decides the VP.
First question, probably vote whatever way they've been paid to, or someone challenges the whole thing and they reschedule, idk. That could be the actual play for jamming up the system with mail in ballots.
As for the second, 22nd only applies to the president and the vice-president. It doesn't apply to the speaker. It would not be a perfect claim, and there would be a challenge I am sure, but Trump and Pence would be required to vacate either way. Deep State would be happy no matter what debacle is unleashed.
I think most states require them to vote for whatever party that state went to. But some blue states are trying to cheat by requiring them to vote for whoever wins the whole country's popular vote. (So basically reeeing that Trump lost the popular vote by 1% and still won the election.)
It used to not be like that. The electoral college used to be literally just educated and informed voters that the masses selected to vote for them, and the delegates could vote however they wanted. It was intended to combat politicians just using demagoguery to win.
At some point it became bound to the two-party system.
The electoral college meets to elect the President. Even if the individual votes are not finished counting (they never really are) the states have to send their electors. This is all that is really important, and it's why the Ds want to abolish it.
ok fine, im hopeful the narrative will be a new hysterical focus on the outcome and not the current bullshit everyone is already burnt on. edit: but if I felt like being a dick I would say the "pandemic" is already over bc you need a healthy steady death count to actually be called a pandemic, what we have now is a recurring high infection rate with a death rate disappointing the deep staters. oh and again its just my opinion. But FURTHER, their plan is to NOT be done counting in Jan so they pull all the COG bullshit... we'll see, but you can be sad all you like
or you can just document what your company is doing and get a great lawyer and sue them for discrimination in the workplace.
It's getting harder to keep your head down. These zealots are no longer satisfied with passive compliance, but active affirmation. That's where I draw the line.
I draw the line at passive compliance. But am retired and and can afford to.
Here, too. Back when I worked, no one heard if or cared about any of this. Sounds like the gender studies folks have found a racket to force these companies to hire them.
yeah. They had some option meeting with a BLM type organization that tried to promote the white fragility book and get us all to be anti-racist. I go to the meetings for opposition research. Theres another one friday all about microaggressions. Also wants you to use "microaffirmations" to counter this. It sounds so dumb and im expecting it to be a bunch of "white man bad, but black man can't help himself so we have to do it for him"
This is literal racism at its peak. If you said "black fragility" they would freak out.
Listen to “no agenda” podcast ep. 1264 “ mask debate”
U will be ARMED TO THE TEETH with info about that book and it’s author
Conscription. "Join the army or eat the knife, bigot."
We are being forced to affirm natural rights. Better to begin organizing and use words to oppose now. To make clear there's a loud contingent to provide cover for saying "No" in positions of power.
My wife was telling me about her friend who works for FOX news. A huge progressive - she was bitching in the office about the need for more social distancing recently.
She has ZERO fear of being a progressive working for FOX.
But the NY Times hires a liberal centrist - and the progressives there hound her into quitting.
Personally, I have no doubt that I would get fired if I was open about my leanings.
I work in the tech industry and feel exactly the same every day!
Same. They are the boss at work so I'll play by their rules, but as soon as they attempt to manipulate the election, it's boogaloo time.
We need conservative and libertarian tech companies. Big or small. Anyone here know of any?
You have my sympathy. I had been self employed for 40 years and never expressed my opinions as I was afraid I would lose business. Protect your bread and butter and share with your friends.
I wear a @[email protected] (supposed to be a middle finger for the 'I' ) as my public shirt (WA state tyrannical governor) and get a lot of local business owners privately giving me kudos. Show your support.
There's a local business out in my neck of the woods that openly sells " #FuckKateBrown " T-shirts. She can't keep them in stock, and now there's a 2-3 day wait after you order one (you can choose colors and size, naturally).
Whenever I state that Inslee is an idiot. No one refutes that assertion. Even as I sit down here in south Seattle.
I retired 4 years ago and am glad that I no longer have to go to meetings with government employees. For the first time I can have a bumper sticker on my vehicle and not be afraid of losing income.
I’m afraid of having my vehicle vandalized.
Yeah, keep your head down and plan your escape (or if nothing else, build up an emergency fund in case you get outed.)
Thankfully i got emergency fund worked out during covid. Now i just need to plan that escape. I'm also worried every insurance company will be too far left for me.
I am fortunate to work for a based group, not in insurance. But I can't believe that ALL insurance companies are left leaning.
I don't think all are, but i believe every large one is and probably most mid sized ones. I'll have to start looking smaller in my escape plan.
Vet them at the interview, think of some good questions you can ask that may show they are stunning and brave, or a normal company.
Ask how they're promoting and handling "diversity" seems like a great way to get that out of them.
That's more and more likely to appear on their website, too.
So a lot of insurance work is administrative in nature, meaning lower level, meaning entry level, meaning recent female college grad or less. They are the ones pushing all this bullshit, and leadership doesn't want to get a bad name within a cheap labor sector, so they just go along with it, hoping it doesn't bite them in the ass one day. There's no fucking coward like a President of VP of a large organization.
Why not document workplace hostility? Penn is at will, but they can not discriminate on you for age or race. Document what they say when hostile to your race or gender, and how it effects you (scared or something).
https://biblereasons.com/christian-healthcare-ministries/
I don't know if you're religious (I'm not) but they are not likely to be hard left.
You should tell the main guy in charge to step down and hire a person of color to replace them.
Nice. Been looking for a new job too.
If anything ever happens that's the plan.
"If anything ever happens"
You made a post because something is happening.
Record an executive making statements that "suppress your political views" in the work place. Speak with a lawyer about having a fear express yourself in the workplace due to being retaliated against due to political bias. Open up a conversation with management about your intentions and let them know you've retained a lawyer and they will normally settle instead of going to court.
Do that after you have secured another job offer.
Telling that you have retained a lawyer is an immediate message and end of the road in the existing company.
Not necessarily. A company cannot fire you for hiring a lawyer to defend your civil liberties. The company is now forced to address you instead of sweeping it under the rug or be faced with a lawsuit.
It’s still not a good a idea.
Always play it cool.
Sounds like we're in the same company lol.
We may be but im not about to dox myself further so let's just say we aren't and never reveal it.
This is creating a hostile work environment. Ask for copies of all this stuff so you can "study it". Eventually talk to a lawyer and see the next steps, if you don't want to then find another job and quit.
Honestly, I wouldn't deal with it, but it's up to you.
Yeah i think the work i do is specific enough that it would be very hard to replace me and they really wouldn't want to, but on the other hand i would definitely be putting a target on my back.
You need a public persona and a hidden persona these days. Unless you are self-employed or retired, setting that up is a smart move. Separate devices are the way to go so that employers can't find you.
Same here, a major bank. Bunch of wokies started a racial equality channel on internal chat software, I'm afraid to leave or mute it. This has now escalated to management and we now have an official anti-BLM activities committee, their first decision is to have emergency IT project to get rid of master, slave, whitelist, and blacklist across our code base. A few people who objected got railroaded into silence.
I'm no conspiracy theorist, but basically some kind of a brainworm. They taken over HR and I think Corp management thought there is no harm if non-revenue producing employees being on Twitter and into tranny shit, look at how wrong they were. The 5th column had been activated and had taken over, while sane people are covering in fear.
Before you criticize me for not taking a stand, my philosophy is "think as you want, but say what is expected", I will expose power level only if physical safety of me or my family is on the line
I'm lucky enough to have never worked in such a toxic environment, but know people who have.
At my friend's dad's job everybody apparently had BLM pins, and when my friend's dad told the managers because political wear is against company policy everybody got mad at him. His coworkers even brought up personal information that had nothing to do with the pins.
The Left is fucked :/
They are bullies. They are intolerant. They are everything they preach against.
If directly asked my conscience keeps my from lying or misleading. I try my best to soften the blow if i know they'd take it bad but omission is the best i can do.
Wife is in the same boat. Works for a pharmacy benefits company. Should have seen the email the whole company got after Trumps EO on generic drugs. Whoooo-eeeeee
Here's a simple plan that has worked for me in the past:
a) have a work log
b) update your resume
c) look for a new job or start your own business
...
n) profit
My company has had 9 "anti-racism" virtual meetings that, are not mandatory, but are "highly encouraged".
Needless to say, I didn't go to any of them. I told my boss that shockingly, even though I am white, I'm not racist, so I didn't feel the need to go.
A Twitter thread on how to handle those kinds of situations.
Saved. Thank you.
Dude. I would 100% be fired if I came out. Its pathetic. I have to take diversity training and hire a black person. Its required.
Most racist shit I've ever seen.
It’s funny because I actually volunteered to respond to emails after my company put out a pro BLM email announcement. I was the only person who could actually respond to those who were against our official standpoint. I had to watch how much I revealed my power level to the rest of the company.
I've had the same experience in a local public school -- at any mandatory diversity or sensitivity training, at some point the instructor and/or other faculty will make some asshole comment about Trump or state that Trump supports are racists, all while admonishing to not "other-ize" people because of their beliefs or preferences.
This is result of Gramsci's Long March Through the Institutions. For decades, lefties have sought to rise up in all major organizations and institutions in this country and they will never hire, promote, mentor, publicize or any way help a conservative. They seek to destroy the careers of conservatives. All the while, they seek out other lefties to hire, promote, mentor and help. This is how left wing kooks have risen to the top of almost every single institution in America.
The left also practices a policy of "No enemies to the left" wherein only criticism toward the right is permitted. A centrist Democrat therefore, can and will be criticized by the left, even primaried, challenged and thrown out by the left. Even a solid Democrat liberal will be called out and chastized by the led. However, a solid Democrat liberal or a centrist Democrat will never ever call out a lefty for being a commie.
I work for a Fortune 500 and there's a Gmail account somehow getting past the spam filter sending 3-5 emails a day advertising for Biden.
Here's just one of them-
Dear Friends,
Donald Trump poses an existential threat to our standing in the world and continues to threaten the decades of diplomatic progress we had made.
It is easy to forget from the comfort of our homes that for many people, America is a beacon of hope and opportunity. We're known as a country that keeps our promised and upholds justice and democracy, and that didn't just happen overnight. We've spent decades building our nation's reputation on the world stage through careful, strategic diplomacy -- but in just under four years, Trump has done unspeakable damage to those relationships and has insulted even our closest allies.
Our only hope for reversing this damage is to elect Vice President Joe Biden in November, and that requires significant support from people like you. We know that Joe Biden has what it takes to restore our country's standing in the world and home because We've seen him do it.
Please join Vice President Joe Biden
for a
Virtual Reception

Edit- And, yes, I typed that out manually. Would not use my work computer to come to thedonald.win, sadly.
Remember when Jake from State Farm was White?
I know right!?
Unfortunately this seems to be the case in most industries. I know if I'm outed at my job it's over for me, too. I'm so tired I almost don't care.
I work for a large healthcare organization and were told that our social media accounts were being monitored. One nurse was recently fired for not supporting & speaking out against BLM on her own FB account.
This is the same as my workplace. Pandering to nonwhites, everything is racist, we need to do better at ending racism, equity will save us all, we need to be allies, listen more than speaking, meritocracy is a myth, check your privilege etc
I hear you, man. I work at a distribution company behind enemy lines (Commiefornia), and my boss has completely lost my respect this year. Wrote a racist-as-fuck company email right after Floyd died. Completely swallowed the Covid-19 lie, and has had us all working from home pretty much permanently since March. When we did open up again, it was masks on everybody, hand sanitizer on all desks, everyone was afraid of each other. He keeps shutting down the office for weeks every time someone has the sniffles. Thinks Trump is to blame for everything.
If I told him what I really think, I am sure I would be asked to clear out my desk.
My wife graduated law school last year. When the kavanaugh hearings were going on they held a student body meeting with the professors to talk about it. We expected it would just be informational but no. It was a cringe fest of believe all women and kavanaugh hate. One woman even said "I'm black so obviously I'm Democrat...". You'd think lawyers of all people would posses logic, or even have the thought of innocent until proven guilty but no. Professors were no better, the dean even apologized for being a while male.
But I know there were many like my wife who didn't want to speak up for fear of the cancel machine.
My husband worked at Bank of america (merrill) and it was the exact same environment. They don't want diversity, they want tokens. The only path to promotion was to be a woman (instant) or join an advocacy group based on not being a straight white man.
The CEO should step down and give his job to a person of color. Be the change you want to see
Five bucks says your company is secretly kowtowing to China.
You know i actually would totally believe that.
I'd look for a new job tbh.
Feel ya man. I work in a field full of leftist women. Like tip toeing around landmines all the time.
I bet they some landmines that take up a lot of floorspace if I had my guess
Not all, it's the ones that hit their mid 30's and fail to get red pilled before then. The ones that do get married, have kids, suddenly don't give a damn about progressive crap and move on. The ones that don't suddenly have a lot of cats, horn rimmed glasses, and weigh about as much as a walrus.
look for another job, then quit wearing a MAGA hat
Damn dude, you should be cautious if that is the type of work environment you are in. As you well know, these freaks are insane and would go after you.
I'd say if you get any indication the blow is coming, recording the meetings you attend. Just turn your phone on audio-record and leave it running without the screen on. Don't tell anyone.
This may be questionably legal but it has some merit. If what they do is questionably legal, it's useful as a deterrent. They would have to fire you for a legitimate reason, which they would then have to concoct.
At the very least, if you get called in for a "review" of any type, ABSOLUTELY record. That saved at least one person I know in academia when they turned what was supposed to be a routine pleasant review into raking her over the coals and near attacks on her.
This is why we are losing the war. We are scared to say anything, expecting to be removed, and that is almost ok now. If we were as loud and outspoken as them, it would at least put cases like this in the norm and force them to play ball and be tolerant as they can either do it or lose half their workforce. But we sit by and keep our mouths shut. I am as guilty as the next, but we need a cultural awakening to fight back, unfortunately we all have something to lose so wont.
It's the same at my place (mortgage servicing). Avoid political discussions, but be cordial and polite.
I have met a few that seem tired of it all too. They just want to work and not have this shoved down their throat.
Start networking and getting your name out there at least to get ahead of the hiring rush that will eventually happen. These companies will fail to realize why they lose their best people when they push this garbage of diversity/inclusion and other nonsense, until its too late.
The team that sat next to mine (when we were in the office) very loudly spoke about their left wing politics. Wish i had that freedom.
Worse. I've been made to feel unwelcome. If I was anything but a straight white male, I could sue. If I speak up though, I'll be fired.
And job opportunities? Forget it - it's been made clear, if not explicitly, that people like me won't be put in leadership positions (until this all blows over).
But the company heads are all whites, right?
Start advocating for special treatment for the underprivileged. Don’t investigate claims for minorities. Don’t cancel minority policies for non payment. Increase premiums for whites. Fill all executive positions based on race. Etc. Meanwhile find another job ‘cause that ship is sinking.
Same. I'm no longer attending ours. I've also stop reading all communications from our NYC HQ. In an anonymous employee survey last month I told them I don't look to corporate leaders in a place like New York City to tell me how I should think and feel about my colleagues; their lifestyles and life choices; science topics; the weather; nor my faith in the Almighty. That I continue to try to live by the Golden Rule and do not feel it is wise to accept advice from people who have created a city like New York City through their remarkably poor decisions in elections. Exit plans are being prepared.
I’d be actively looking for a better job or opportunity. I worked for a company like that up until about a month ago. I worked hard til I left abruptly and started my own business. Now if I get a service call from a libtardian guess what?
My previous employer's new inclusion department scheduled me for reeducation because I have unconscious bias. During an interview with my new employer they said that they aren't woke. I jumped up and said SOLD! when do I start? They laughed and hired me without checking my references or work history.
Until you leave for a better job, that won't be hard, document everything. You have civil rights as well and these fucking communist democrats need to be taught that lesson in court.
I'll bet at least 70% of the other employees in those meetings feel the same way you do. The silent majority is real.
