IT WAS INEVITABLE: Speech control moves from the campus to the workplace

Ah, but what about the politics of those that run those companies? Chik-fil-A or say, Google. Go woke go broke? Why is politics even part of this equation? Because its the elephant in the room now. It's insane how much reach liberal politics has.

Only because we allow the wealthy to have as much influence in our politics as they do. The thing is, a lot of companies have the good sense to shy away from politics. Chik-fil-Hate realized their homophobia wasn't playing well, even if a bunch of rednecks came out to clog their arteries for a day for them, so they backed off.
 
Ah. My stalker is still posting to me and about me. He's been on ignore for a long time.

This is the kind of person he is.

Meh, I'm used to it. No harm, no foul.

Yes, we know you are a pussy who doesn't like getting slapped around.

Do you have experience writing code?

No?

Then you're a racist. Not at all surprising for a Commie.

Again, you tell that's a program, not a person. Don't need to be able to write code to tell those are computer generated responses. It's too dumb to even realize it's being insulted.

It's simple: I find the Republican Party to be just as repulsive as the Democratic Party.

Which is what you do when you are self-righteous... but you are still kind of a bore.
 
No, it hasn't. Policing "inclusiveness" is a new PC/Identity Politics phenomenon.

As I predicted, you're downplaying and dismissing it.

Try this on someone else.

Um, yes, it has. 25 years ago, they were firing guys for sexual harassment for such petty things as telling dirty jokes in the office. heck 40 years ago when I went to College, the College kids were just as "woke" as they are now. This really isn't anything new.
 
It's hardly something new. The world is full of stories of subordinates being ignored to quit and move on somewhere else where they are highly successful. This idea is nothing more than making sure that doesn't happen.

As an employer I have a lot invested in an employee. That asset should be utilized as opposed to marginalized.

Vichy Mac misses the good old days of Mad Men. When women and those people knew their place.

To absolutely no surprise, and as I predicted, we're seeing the hardcore Left here downplay, dismiss and deflect away from the larger picture.

And their favored tactic is what we're seeing: Isolating the story from the FLOOD of other stories and examples of how PC and Identity Politics have been weaponized to control communication and the conversation from coast to coast. Isolate it from the big picture, pretend it's a one-off, make it as small as possible, drown it in the bathtub. Make it so that the only REAL freedom of expression is that with which you agree. Otherwise, control it, manipulate it, intimidate it, punish it.

This one small story is indicative of how the hardcore Left operates. As is the type of response we're seeing here.

Big Business isn't the hardcore left, Stormy.

Big business doesn't do a fucking thing unless they've run a cost-benefit analysis to determine that something is going to make them money.

This isn't so much about PC as it is about power. They have yet another tool to intimidate, control and oppress workers. Ho-hum.

The PC Police are not hiding under your bed. Honestly, I've seen more racists and misogynists in positions of authority than I've seen woke liberals. If someone has developed this kind of software to weed them out, I just can't see that as being a bad thing.
 
I'm more in awe of the power of ideology every day
I bet you are. I bet you can quote long excerpts from Das Kapital...comrade.
:confused-84:
.
Well, you are a Democrat and therefore must be a commie.

Yes, things have gotten that polarized.
No......just being a Democrat doesn't mean you're a commie.
Voting for commies makes you a communist simpathizer.
I have as yet been unable to get most conservatives here and on FB to agree that there is a difference between these three things; democratic -NON-Marxist Socialism (me) vrs Marxist democratic Socialism (Sanders) vrs Marxist Leninism (communism).
To most conservatives one equates to the other and that equates to the other as well.
It reminds me of the days when Hubert Humphrey was described as a 'pinko-commie queer'.

I am a progressive (little 'p') who wants to leave a better world for my kids, and right now I think that is more achievable through the Republican Party rather than a leftwing Democratic Party obsessed with Identity Politics.

But I am dismissed often as a confused person or a fellow traveler when I am not. Marxism is intellectual poison, and I know that, which is why I will not vote for Sanders.

There are worse things though, like continuing the current Federali Tammany Hall Deep Swamp we have now.
All Communists should be rounded up by the government and executed. It worked for Suharto.
 
It has been BAD ENOUGH that the Regressive Left has enabled the control of freedom of expression on AMERICAN college campuses (of all fucking places on the planet), and it has already spread into the workplace. But now we're looking at having an "artificial intelligence" device that LISTENS TO WORKPLACE CONVERSATIONS to be sure that we are being "inclusive" and "equal".

I am not making this up.

Could a smart device catch implicit bias in the workplace?

“The vision that we have [for this project] is that you would have a device, maybe something like Amazon Alexa, that sits on the table and observes the human team members while they are working on a problem, and supports them in various ways,” says Riedl, an associate professor who studies crowdsourcing, open innovation, and network science. “One of the ways in which we think we can support that team is by ensuring equal inclusion of all team members.”

The fact that this is even AN IDEA shows how far this has gone.

Enjoy. This is what happens we start controlling, intimidating and punishing freedom of expression. IN AMERICA.
.
Unfortunately this doesn't surprise me. Just dreadful.

Stormy Mac left this part out of the article he quoted.

This device doesn’t yet exist, but Northeastern associate professors Christoph Riedl and Brooke Foucault Welles are preparing to embark on a three-year project that could yield such a gadget. The researchers will be studying from a social science perspective how teams communicate with each other as well as with smart devices while solving problems together.

“The vision that we have [for this project] is that you would have a device, maybe something like Amazon Alexa, that sits on the table and observes the human team members while they are working on a problem, and supports them in various ways,” says Riedl, an associate professor who studies crowdsourcing, open innovation, and network science. “One of the ways in which we think we can support that team is by ensuring equal inclusion of all team members.”


Oh my God, equal inclusion? That's HORRIBLE. Decisions should only be made by the boss and his drinking buddies!

Trumpsters would probably agree with you on that.

The fact remains.

1. If you want to keep your job, you must at least pretend to be woke.

2. So it is necessary to nod in agreement with all woke opinions that are expressed and to show enthusiastic support for all woke actions.

3. And be careful what you say to your "friends" at work.

as a (proud) WOKE person....(wokee?)

i would have no problems with what I say at work.
 
The illiberal, authoritarian Regressive Left will downplay, minimize, and/or dismiss criticism of any measure that allows for the control, intimidation or punishment of speech they don't like.

Whether it's on a college campus, a rally or a workplace, they want control. That's how authoritarians are.

They'll also try to downplay this story, pretending it's not just another drop in the hurricane, just another example of a much larger picture.

Stormy, if you've failed so bad at life some college girl is a threat to you, that's on you.

Last time I checked, businesses weren't democracies..
Ah, but what about the politics of those that run those companies? Chik-fil-A or say, Google. Go woke go broke? Why is politics even part of this equation? Because its the elephant in the room now. It's insane how much reach liberal politics has.

I'm sure it bothers you that non-right wing fascists have the same rights as you....

but they do.....

so they can (just like you and your friends) BOYCOTT any business for any reason.

Yahoo News / Sports - Mouthpiece of the left.

Market Watch - Has anti-Trump bias.
 
1. If you want to keep your job, you must at least pretend to be woke.

2. So it is necessary to nod in agreement with all woke opinions that are expressed and to show enthusiastic support for all woke actions.

3. And be careful what you say to your "friends" at work.

1) Uh, where have you been? It's been like that for quite some time now. If you are openly racist or misogynist, you probably won't last long in your job.

2) Not sure how many "Woke" opinions there are at the workplace, exactly. Since most businesses are about selling widgets, there's not a woke way to sell a widget.

3) Don't delude yourself into thinking your coworkers are your "friends". Rarely have I seen anyone quit because they dislike how their coworker is being treated.

Frankly, my experience has been that the system favors white straight males. I've seen a black woman fired from a job so that the boss could create a position for his drinking buddy who had no qualifications. I've seen people fired for being gay.

Yes, I've also seen the other end of it, people hired to fill an Affirmative Action Quota who had no business ever being hired to start with.

I've told this story before, but it illustrates the point well.

A company I worked for had three people leave my department over a five month period in 2012.

A Chinese-American woman who had been with the company for 9 years and had established many of our vendor relationships with Asian vendors.
An African American woman who had been with the company for two years.
A Pretty young white intern who spent about three months with us in the summer filing paperwork.

NOW- All three of these gals got a going away lunch on the company's dime.

Guess which one the White, Male General Manager took time out of his busy schedule (not really) to attend?

Yup. You guessed it, the INTERN. because she was white and pretty.

Now, I'm not sure if the WokeAlexa is the solution, but let's not pretend that bias doesn't exist in the workplace, and it generally tends to favor people based on race, age, gender and looks.

Well, in a few more decades, there will no longer be any more Caucasian bosses.

Problem solved!

Yes. Watch every last fucking word you say, when you say it, where you say it, how you say it, and to whom you say it. After all, this is America.

And anyone who dares to disagree with any of that will immediately labeled a sexist, homophobe, racist, Nazi, and whatever else the PC zealots can come up with.

First we allowed this to happen in our colleges, the last fucking place on the planet we want to control speech and ideas. Now it has, predictably, metastasized to our businesses. The "safe spaces", "trigger warnings" and "micro-aggressions" have officially gone corporate.

What these people refuse to admit is that, when you intimidate and control and manipulate and punish expression, the ideas you end up with -- if you get them at all -- are reduced, damaged, distorted, perverted.

But controlling the conversation is more important to them. Anyone who supports that is not liberal, they're authoritarian.

Two sides to this:

First, it seems a bit of a stretch that someone would come in after the fact and say something about "equal time". There are people in the meetings already.

Second, what would worry me is not so much squashing of any free speech, but the "teach to the test" phenomenon that could end up being its own, implicit bias. Now, instead of one bias, you have two.

The origin of this idea is that the widest range of propositions will always result in a better model or solution than otherwise. Not that it can't be bastardized, but the first intent is to get better solutions and models.

I think it was Smolin that wrote about this, extrapolating this idea from forming hypotheses for testing in science to more general applications in problem solving. I read it long ago. If I can recall the title of the book, I will post it.

Aside from the obvious CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, etc there are less blatantly leftist networks with leftist agendas:

ESPN - Now taking left-wing political stands instead of just doing sports.

NatGeo - Air propaganda shows with one-sided global warming agendas, virtue signaling shows.

HBO - No longer a movie channel but a democrat party propaganda channel.

Comedy Central - No longer comedy -- Now "Democrat Central"



Information websites that might fool you:

Snopes.com - Self-promoted as a "fact-checking site" is actually a liberal mouth piece.

Politifact - Self-promoted as a "fact-checking site" is actually a liberal mouth piece.

Wikipedia - Run by anti-Trump propagandist(s) pushing global warming hysteria, etc.

Google - Search for "Trump" then click news. Most if not all of the results will be from leftist outlets. Google employees hate Trump. Use ConservativeSearch instead.

YouTube - Run by Google. Controls searches to promote their left-wing agenda. Also demonetizes or limits monetization of conservative videos. Hopefully BitChute catches on.

Yahoo News / Sports - Mouthpiece of the left.

Market Watch - Has anti-Trump bias.
Wow, it's almost like they think they are in a country where they can express their opinions of the head of state without fear.
