I am so thankful that I work for an excellent small firm (very small - a boutique) that does not even have an HR department, just an office manager who is practical and all business, and not the least bit interested in trying to be woke. I did work for over 20 years at a very large company which had all the diversity and woke bells and whistles. I left there over 10 years ago, and I can only imagine how much more woke and obnoxious they are now if you are a conservative or moderate working there. They were already jumping on every liberal and leftie bandwagon back then.

I just want to do my job and go home. I don’t want to be co-opted into or coerced to donate money to ANY cause or support any group or person my employer takes up if such activities were not part of the job that I knew about when I started. These days, some firms will consider whether an employee “supports the [liberal] goals of the firm” as part of the annual review, so you better be onboard unless you want to get downgraded in your review.

Not just little nazis inside the company, but they listen to little nazis outside as well.

I was recently fired from an executive position because, in my personal time and under my own name, I posted a reply to a George Floyd Letter to the Editor. This was online.

I said that George Floyd was a drug-using scumbag who caused his own death by resisting.

Well, a little nazi searched my name, found my employer and reported me.

The HR manager terminated me.

You cannot sue because there are no legal protections for political speech.....unless you are fired for endorsing LGTBQ, BLM, etc.....then you are in a protected class.

The laws and systems have been aligned against us, folks. Watch your backs and know that once Trump is out of office, we are all targeted for submission or elimination.

I had good ones until the early 1990s. I guess that is when “personnel” and “benefits” people became “Human Resources.” That is when we had to start attending “diversity” training. That is when every disciplinary issue had to be reviewed, starting with “what the person was” vs “what they did.”

I discovered then that I had been a suppressive white bastard for decades. I was told I should feel shame.

What I felt was pissed. I took it for two years and then found a new job.

“ The purpose of HR is to avoid expensive lawsuits against the company for discrimination or hostile work environment.”

A friend of mine started up a “diversity” consultant company. She’s a mixed race Brazilian and is making money hand over fist.

In Oregon, some state agencies are requiring job applicants to say what they have done to promote diversity and inclusion.

Group 'Diversity Training' has one goal: to give non-white males a forum to abuse white males. I am a white male and I have to endure these abuse a couple times a year now (up from once a year, seems like they are moving to a quarterly model). I hear about my microaggressions, my privilege, how I ruined them all, how basically I am evil but salvageable if I merely pledge to bend the knee, wear a rainbow lanyard, and promise to have dialogues with oppressed coworkers so they can further air their grievances over why I'm the reason they aren't happy.

It's an utterly miserable experience and offensive to me on every level that our HR department has the nerve to pick a group, isolate it, and invite others to berate it over and over ... in the name of making us stronger.

Not by accident. And this crap has infiltrated corporations. The only reason this gets changed is by lawsuits against companies for wrongfully firing people.

polymuser: “Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) found that 72% of HR managers were women; in 2017, Payscale.com reported that a whopping 86% of HR generalists were women.”

Those who can, do, those who can't teach...or become HR folks.

Our HR manager was a female homosexual “Bull”, not much upward movement if you are a heterosexual, white guy over 50, regardless of your experience and value to the company.
