Personally, I don't want the company to be left-leaning or right-leaning. A dollar from a Bernie Bro is just as good as the dollar from a MAGA Dude and I want to welcome them both to fly on us. You don't do that by swaying to one side or the other... plus you're alienating a large group of your employees whichever way you choose to sway. That was one thing I really appreciated about the company in 2020 when the company expressly prohibited BLM masks and all that other nonsense. I don't want to see BLM paraphernalia at work just as I don't want to see the MAGA paraphernalia. We should be united under one banner at Southwest Airlines. DEI accomplishes none of that and only serves to alienate people and we seem to be losing the plot with respect to why we exist as a company and the basics of what made this company successful to begin with.
Satire, when done correctly, is very effective. You can accomplish a lot through humor.
When done poorly, it is lame. This website didn't even make me crack a smile. I just rolled my eyes and moved on. It's just more of the same venom from the anti DEI crowd that somehow feels threatened and is sending our CEO and COO emails stating that this is a communist plot to destabilize the country.
The key to happiness in this job is to come to work, do a great job, drop the pack and go home. Rinse and repeat. Get paid twice a month. Do union stuff. That's it. Don't bring your politics, religion, or sex life to work. In the end, it's only going to cause you pain.
