“I have some thoughts on why, part of it is the creeping wokeism entering the corporate workplace.”

I’m retiring in 1 month. I’m still reasonably sharp, in decent health, and in an environment like the one at my current employer 20 years ago, I could hang on and help. Now I do admit, I’m a little burnt out, and I’m not sure if it’s father time catching up to me, or if it’s the bs from the nanny employer environment.

What I see now is that employers can’t effectively correct employees. Everyone is hyper sensitive and if an employer attempts to punish a member of a protected group, e.g. anyone who isn’t a white male, all heck breaks loose. The response has been to micromanage employees to death. It seems to be the line of thought that if you can’t correct an employee, you just monitor them to 5 minute intervals. Couple that will all the silliness, mandatory training, woke garbage, etc.

It’s time for me to go.

I will be actively looking for a different job now that my wife has a great one at a start up doing quite well, and her job is 100% remote.

I would only get a 100% remote position, and there are now a ton of those in my technical area.

The place I will be leaving I've been at for nine years and it's become way too woke, which has made low and middle management top-heavy with non-white males, in physical locations that white males still make up the majority of “maleness.”

It's like the men at the top are justifying their existence by saying “We can't be discriminatory against minorities, because that's all we have below our level,” but that means they discriminated against while males to get that air cover.

Don’t hang around to help. The company will treat you poorly and it will not end the way you think it should.

as life long RN who just retired a year and a half ago at age 67, I can say that all health entities are corporate run and the people who actually do the work have NO say, none.....

I always say the hospitals want to Look good for Jahco, but not necessarily BE good......

eg: hospital had a directive that if a patient asks why their call light wasn't answered quicker, we are NOT to say that there is not enough staff,even when true....that would make the hospital look bad.....

so the implication to the patient is that the nurse is just lazy.....

If one is a salaried employee(exempt from overtime) that is likely illegal. If one is a hourly worker, suck it up....
