Really upset right now. I landed this dream job a few years back working as a Data Scientist but the woke cancer has finally infected my once-beloved company.
After I saw videos of 2 senseless acts of violence against Trump supporters/white people this weekend alone, I receive a timely memo regarding training. One of the sentences in the beginning reads: "This year has presented unimaginable challenges, and with recent community tensions following the tragic killing of George Floyd". Our "Diversity & Inclusion" department is making us take a mandatory training with 4 courses:
- Knowing Me Knowing You
- Micro Messages
- Minus The Bias
- The In Crowd
.... no thanks! I really don't think this was appropriate at all. I want to find a new dream job!
I'm an award winning Data Scientist with a B.S. in Computer Science and a B.S. in Statistics open to any opportunity! I'm a very motivated person especially when I feel respected and supported (unlike right now). So far, most of my work experience is building predictive models for both commercial and operational business processes with incredible results.
Troll your company as long as you can. Claim yourself as a minority for starters and have some fun from there. Laugh uncontrollably at the training sessions like Joaquin Phoenix in the Joker.
Correct them when you can (like saying George Floyd killed himself) and call out your disagreement during the training sessions. If you get pushback, say you are a minority and they are exploiting their privilege over you.
I've actually already begun doing this! I cant help myself but Im smart enough to know what this opens me up for.... hence part of the reasoning for this post :)
You could have some Native blood, you never know...
