With the launch of the new wokeness 'phase 2' initiative at Microsoft that involves describing ones physical appearance and pronoun before speaking, is anyone else second guessing accepting an offer there? I always respected the company but this virtue signaling is truly mind blowing. At the recent Microsoft ignite conference, Allison Weins awkwardly lists the tribes that once occupied the land the Microsoft campus is built upon for seemingly no reason at all before describing her skin color and clothing. https://youtu.be/iBRtucXGeNQ Yoe 10+ TC 260k##
Lol this is hilarious. This is crazy!
If Darth Vader was woke and hosted Microsoft Ignite (Tech Industry) https://us.teamblind.com/s/Kz2SUNrm
I don’t have a problem so long as TC is not bananas. Who cares about superficial wokeness. There are so many startups in Bay Area with similar virtu signaling.
I guess for me I think I'd struggle to play along with this regardless of TC. I feel like I'm living in a black mirror episode or something
Which black mirror episode is the one where they announce their physical appearance for the visually impaired? Truly, the horror!
It felt like they were more describing it for people who might be visually impaired..
Wtf lmao. The woke Libbies are just obsessed with race and identity politics. Glad I don’t live in that shithole of a city.
Amen brother, I’m glad I got out of it!
Yeah it's really gone downhill. I'm looking to move myself as it's hard to relate to this stuff. It's even filtering into local ski clubs who have these corporate folks on their boards and pushing for the same virtue signaling tactics
Not sure if the smile in that photo is cute or someone experiencing excruciating pain. Or both.
This I can say confidently. She is not in pain. She is a popular woke girl who is superficial and really not help other girls get ahead. Source: people who works with her.
Ok, cute it is 🤷♂️
They are doing it for visually impaired, so they can also discriminate based on enthnicity, color of skin, etc
Lol this is the "Blind" content that keeps me on this app
Nah, they are doing it for pure wokeness. What does a blind person care in a tech conference that the person speaking is caucasian with a weird hairstyle? And what doest that have to do with all the indian tribes? If they are so bothered by their office being on indian lands, give the land back?
I don't see why this is a good thing. It makes me sad to think that if you disagree publicly you may be reprimanded. I'm so glad I left tech.
Yeah I know, I feel the same way. What industry did you switch to?
🤢
This wokeness can lead to more discrimination.
Can or has
Yeah I think so too. I read a book called Woke Racism recently that touches on this topic ... Woke Racism: How a New Religion Has Betrayed Black America https://www.amazon.com/dp/B095JLK96B/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_G6KV176YPEPB49GG59AX
