Patagonia – Telling staff to relocate or leave

I don’t get the use of the term ‘Woke’ in the post above.
I was under impression the term ‘Woke’ is to be informed, educated and conscious of social injustice and (racial)inequality, which to me sounds like a positive position to be in, yet the poster uses is as a insult.

People who think that “woke” is an insult are, IME, 100% universally [Butcher from The Boys’ favourite word].  Anyone who thinks that being nice to other people is a bad thing to be railed against, well, that says more about them than the subject under discussion.

See also, “snowflake” and “triggered.”

You’ve just triggered something…

@grimep – Agree. I much prefer to buy my outdoor clothing from far-right brands. Or I love me a centrist, Ed Milliband jacket like a Rab – absolutely NOT avocado in colour. That’ll show the bloody woke lefteyes!

Using “Woke” as some kind of gotcha catch-all type of insult has always been hilarious to me. I once saw people decrying the administrative renaming of Snowdon to Yr Wyddfa as “Woke”.

We would like you to make a potentially life changing decision to move to another part of the country, you’ve got 3 days.

Sounds pretty shitty to me.

My wife worked for an US company. In the states they fired the “bottom” 10% of the workforce on an annual basis.

It’s my understanding that they have employment laws that make workhouses look generous.

My dad also worked for an American company. Talking to a us based colleague he asked about his holiday plans. The reply was, if I go on holiday someone else will be sitting at my desk by the time I get back.
