They're reaping what they've sowed, so I don't exactly feel bad about big tech firms trying to flee "wokeness" (read: performative activism that hurts its causes more than it helps them) and finding out they won't be able to do so that easily, as it's exactly the kind of environment they've cultivated and the sort of people they've catered to for the past decade. Everything you do can be construed as a political statement in one way or another, and if you make an ideological battleground out of a workplace you'll be asking for trouble down the road.
- itronitron 5y agoI see it as an indicator that although many tech firms have mythologized their missions as agents of positive change they remain largely ineffectual. If people felt that through their employment they were providing a net benefit to society on the issues they care about then they wouldn't really care much about internal company politics/culture.
