This kind of explains why high level "corporate woke" behavior has become so frequent, shrill and so ineffectual at addressing the problems it purports to care about - there's a lot of steam in the PMCs and the UMC are giving a way for the PMC to let off some of this steam in a nonthreatening way.
- zozbot234 5y agoIt's weird that you describe "woke" as non-threatening given how divisive it is in practice. Corporations used to engage in actual CSR efforts, using their unique skillsets to further the public interest and make the world a genuinely better place in a very cost-effective way. Now that might well have been replaced by pointless, thoroughly ineffective, plausibly counterproductive rhetoric about 'DEI'. That's got to be a pretty big disappointment.
- pydry 5y agoI meant non threatening to capital. Things like gay rights, BLM definitely upset some people but the PMC's boss's position isnt threatened by it. CSR is effectively a just a different kind of reputation laundering. In general the more evil the corporation, the more of emphasis they need to put on CSR.
