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.

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:

Many of the people who write to us ask for our help in writing a letter expressing this feeling in a way that might be effective, and some people have taken our advice and then reported back on the results. This has shown us that it is possible to push back at authoritarian overreach in the names of “Social Justice” or “anti-racism” and persuade employers and coworkers to expand their scope to include a broader range of worldviews in their anti-discrimination initiatives. Near the bottom of this long essay, a sample letter that could be taken and adapted to your own setting is therefore provided.
