Woke capitalism is alive and well. Don’t be fooled by American companies’ public statements suggesting they’re abandoning identity-based diversity, equity and inclusion policies in favor of merit and diversity of thought.
I’m here to prove it: I’ve been canceled. Again. This time, bounced from a conference boasting a theme of “breaking down walls.” Five months ago, Peer 150, a networking group for top human resources executives, asked me to speak at one of its events.
I was pleasantly surprised: I’m pretty well known at this point as being aggressively non-woke. In 2020, I was the only C-suite executive in a major Fortune 1000 company to push back against lockdowns and school closures during the pandemic. I resigned from Levi’s, a company I’d worked in for 23 years. And then I was banished from all of corporate America for my disobedience.

That “Enemy of the State” designation will follow her forever.

Consider yourself lucky. Why did you agree to be on it in the first place?
Disability discrimination can be a federal crime. Perhaps wrongful termination for DEI objections can also be; otherwise, convince me the recent termination was either a form of free speech and/or association.
The C-suite is getting crowded. It should be CEOs only.
Trump’s administration is just a speed bump on the road to civilization collapse.
Our strength is in our unity, not in our diversity.
Possibly but fighting them daily is more fun than just assuming we can’t win.

Given the preceding paragraph..., executives and managers began to take the "Easy Way Out" and become lauded for their "Wokeness" and have the decline of their organization's performance excused for a time. Math being what it is, that time has come to an end and organizations decline and fail (other then governmental organizations..., they thought!) We are at a "Day of Reckoning" currently.. Time will tell whether we survive!
It’s Portland
Now is a great environment to sue companies if they did something to you that is illegal in the “name of DEI” …

Yup. Portland, home of the spineless, land of the slave, where inclusiveness is had by exclusion and diversity by conformity.

I think we’re going to be securing the elections and if that happens, along with shutting down the criminals stealing our taxpayer dollars, we stand a good chance of few decades of sanity. Don’t give up yet.
I got kicked off a wildlife page when some woman wanted someone to come and relocate a nest of WASPS!
I said “You don’t relocate WASPS, you KILL THEM!” Wham. I got the boot.
I got kicked off a movie page when they were talking about the French film Beauty and the Beast (French: La Belle et la Bête(1946)
I simply asked “Which was more faggy? The Prince in that film or Lord Darnley in MARY OF SCOTLAND.”(1936) I got the boot!
I stopped buying Levis 20 years ago because of the poor quality they have become. Now my wife gets me Wranglers from WalMart for half the price and they last twice as long
Of course, I agree.
Not surprising at all.
