Didn’t we just have a Woke fest very recently?

I attended several DEI events because I thought, “ok, I’ll listen” and I regret I wasted 4 hours of my time. They all certainly live in this utopia where they truly believe that all white straight people are bad and anyone who’s not white and straight has had so many issues in life and we should all be catering to them. Not that those demographics haven’t ever had a hard, but a lot of people have had hard lives, even white straight folks. I can’t believe the wokeness and that there are so many that go along with it. I was also forced to attend one session by my LL5 in which we all had to meet and have a discussion about it afterwards. If you want to participate then fine do it, but I shouldn’t be forced to have to sit through these things and be constantly told because I’m white and straight that I’m bad and have had it easy. If we’re supposed to be all inclusive, then there would be no such discussions about different demographic groups, we would all be one.
@2qec Equity of outcome = Socialism. Not hard to understand
@4Gb9: It seems to me that DEI at Ford is a dog whistle for company-sanctioned discrimination against white employees, particularly if they also happen to be male. I don't see any connection between DEI and economic socialism, though.
Equity? I wander how much say a GSR or LL6 really have when they see a bad idea? Funny how you hear these VPs say things like we have been doing it all wrong the past couple of years. "No you VPs have". We dot have have a say in the decision, you do as you are told even if it makes "ZERO" sense to do. In a few years a new CEO will step in same cast of characters will say we have been doing it all wrong. Glad I am at the end of the tunnel as one of my coworkers once said..
Yes, it is that bad. When the term “equity” is thrown around at every opportunity they get. Equity = Socialism
Y'all make it sound like the end of the world.
It's not that bad folks.
I’m grateful I’m not in management. If I had to spew the equity rhetoric via those decks they have to cascade, I would be finding another job. No amount of money could get me to say that equity is the right approach.
@1fhm welcome to clown world. And the sad thing is they will use their position of power (regardless of your work ethic or general demeanor) and malign you behind closed doors.
I refuse to sit in these meetings to have a certain demographic tell me they are marginalized, when they are all LL6+ and I’m just a GSR

Huh, can't be racism in play when you tell a certain group that all of them have X characteristic, even if they "don't realise or acknowledge it" as long as that group is the scapegoat of the day.
Where do you think this is going? There's a concerted effort to remove whites from the power structure. We're constantly told racism must be eradicated and then we're also told whites are all unconsciously racist. Their racism permeates all of their actions even if they're not aware of it. Whites are told that they've harmed everyone and they don't deserve to be where they are. They deserve to be taken down a peg. They deserve to be pushed aside and silenced so non-whites can take their place. Where do you think this is going?
I heard someone in management use the term “equity balancing” very recently. Extremely disturbing. Gone are the days of meritocracy. Welcome to Woke Motor Co
