Joe Rogan took aim at woke “activist” employees of large Silicon Valley tech firms, calling them “mentally ill” and “lunatics who are running the asylum to a certain extent.”
Rogan made the comments on his Spotify podcast during an interview Wednesday with Antonio García Martínez, an ex-engineer at Apple and Facebook who parted ways with the iPhone maker after employees complained of “misogynistic” writings in his book.
During the segment, Rogan asked Martínez what it was like to work for a large tech firm.
“For someone from the outside, we look at it and say: ‘How are those #### places run?'” Rogan said.
The stand-up comedian then said he had a conversation with a “good friend” who was in a management position at Google before leaving the firm for another “large tech company.”
“The way she described it to me was, ‘It is utter madness,'” Rogan said.
“The lunatics are running the asylum to a certain extent because there’s a lot of people working inside the company now that legitimately are mentally ill and they consider themselves activists,” according to Rogan.
He added that tech bosses at these companies “have to placate” the workers “because they’re a certain percentage of the population that works for the company, and they’re the loudest, and they oftentimes don’t get work done.”
Rogan said that when these workers are “confronted” over not getting work done, “they talk about their activism.”
He said his friend was forced to reprimand tech workers by telling them: “You are here for X amount of hours per day. This is your #### job. You’re not an activist.”
Martínez told Rogan that the companies are partly to blame because workers are encouraged by human resources departments to “bring the real self to work.”

“Facebook was a cult, and I joined it, and I was a happy member of it,” Martínez said. “It was very powerful. Everyone sacrificed themselves for the sake of the empire and its emperor.”
Worked in Big Tech and he’s 100% spot on. If you don’t think like the leftist cult, you’re best off just trying to appear politically neutral.
Martínez told Rogan that the companies are partly to blame because workers are encouraged by human resources departments to “bring the real self to work.”
Psychologists again. They destroy everything. Marriages, families, businesses... if you want to wreck a business hire an HR dept and staff it with psychs with their babbling nonsense theories.
Too late to walk back your support for the deepstate Rogan, suck it.
Joe ain’t wrong.
I've worked on major projects for several Silicon Valley companies and continue to be amazed that their culture can support their business models.
The money spent on absolute nonsense can stun people. Things like hiring Bruno Mars to entertain employees in a private venue, holding leadership events on lavish yachts, cutting enormous checks to leftist cause célèbres, or spending enormous amounts of money to hire A-list celebrities for meaningless ad campaigns while at the same time cutting substantial numbers of workers and budgets.
It truly is a fantasy world among their campuses, and one that will make you shake your head in disbelief at the audacity of it all.
Joe is right on; the Big Tech boys stay stoned on drugs and it effects their lines of thought.
Joe Rogan slams woke Big Tech employees as ‘mentally ill’
In the past, many people who were thought to be mentally I’ll were actually demon possessed.
Re: “..bring the real self to work...”
No! No!....My employees were expected to bring their **Best**self to work!
Did some facilities project management contract work at Red Hat for a while. The atmosphere was much like I recall from high school. The only difference was the nerds far outnumbered the jocks and preps. For these clowns, the day started around 10am and every day was casual Friday. Cargo shorts and your favorite Marvel Superhero t-shirt was pretty much the dress code.
Rd later.
