The article links to https://jobs.netflix.com/culture https://jobs.netflix.com/culture, and the quotes appear to be verbatim and not out of context. (The interpretation that it's specifically about "woke" workers is of course purely from the Post).
Unfortunately archive.org isn't working, so it's hard to check whether the text really is new, or something that's in place for years.
