Our company has a position like a DEI director, and honestly, it baffles me. All they seem to do is push what some might call 'leftist woke propaganda' in their never-ending meetings, and I question whether our company's resources should be invested in that.


Could you give some concrete examples from this DEI director of the kind of things you're calling 'leftist woke propaganda'?


I am not OP but one of the things I have seen these people do is to insist on removing words like "nitty gritty" from our developer documentation by calling it racist.


TIL: DEI == Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (if anyone else didn't know).


Ignorance is bliss. If you do not know what DEI is it is a bit like not knowing how to be an overweight. You are better off not knowing it.


It's just 'brand.' Companies don't generally give two stuffs about their staff, as you find out when anything like unions or HR complaints come up.
