Jun 2 175 Comments

I wish people/managment at work would at least acknowladge what it going on in America and how it can affect our work.

Do you feel this should be discussed at work at least a little bit? #BLM

    Not sure if it’s just me but I think many companies in Bay Area has been very vocal, very far-left imo on supporting BLM. When we talk so much about inclusion at work but it feels like company as a whole is bullying and ignoring the fact there are people with opposite voice.

      Because covering David Dorn or other victims due to the looting and rioting doesn’t help with the votes. If they cover it, people will start having a thorough examination of the movement. That’s why they don’t cover the 14 dead and 88 injured in Chicago this weekend. If they cover it, people will wondering why BLM is not saying anything, if the family values, victim mentally, single mother rates are the real issues here. If people start to think and be able to narrow down the core issues, black and Latinos communities will a raise and will figure out the lies that Democrats build for decades by then they will have no control over those votes.

    I wish people kept politics out of work. Like good for you, but please let me just do my job and earn my paycheck for my family.

    You're free to protest all you want outside work.

      Most teams at Fb shouldn’t have to deal with politics. Integrity and content are really the only ones. Sadly doesn’t work out

      everyone has to have an opinion on every decision and gets really mad when upper management disagrees. Fb easily had the most toxic culture. Not because of how the managers acted or what they encouraged, but because of all the engineers inflated egos

      Politics sets the rules for our lives and effects the workplace. There isn't some sort of clearly defined political / not political line.
      - Black people are dealing with a lot of trauma right now. They are seeing violence against Black people and dealing with hearing racists spout nonsense. We should all be sensitive to how that effects work. We're also seeing how a huge number of higher ups at companies hold racist views. (See comments on here, Fishbowl, and LinkedIn)
      - The Supreme Court just outlawed firing people for being LGBT+ under the same law that gave women equal rights in the work place.
      - ⅓ of the posters of Blind are or were Indians working on a visa
      - Politics sets the rules that make the companies you work for possible. Where would any of the tech companies be without intellectual property?

      It's just absurd and naive to think you can have this simple world where you can choose to allow politics.

    Black people definitely have it rough in the US. More likely to be born to single moms, more likely to live in poverty, more likely to not get good schooling, more likely to be living in high crime areas, more likely to be badly nourished , more likely to lack good role models , more likely to end up in crime, more likely to go to jail, more likely to end up getting shot . They just don’t get a break in life man

      Well done. That is the type of ambition that affirmative action was supposed to benefit, but failed miserably (obviously) and ended up being race based.

    Now we are going to have defunding of police which means less police so now the gangs are going to protect us. These liberal politicians are so out of touch, no border, no police, high taxes. What will they come up next. Dont live on those states

    15 lives have been lost in the riots. White police killed 10 unarmed black per year. So it's hard to believe BLM is really meant to protect black lives.

      Wake up. Those discrimination laws were all gone by 1965. MLK also wanted his children judged by content of character, not color of skin. Why do we need I&d push? Can't we just go merit based and color blind, that's what MLK wanted.
