Is everything just corporate bs?
Sometimes I allow myself to put on my tinfoil hat and speculate about how much we are influenced by corporate interests and needs.
I feel like a lot of the push for diversity and inclusion is, in fact, a corporate way to reduce labor power and strenght.
The first indicator of this is the amount of marketing and publicity that involves this subject without actually doing anything meaningfull.
“We hired a lot of women and people of collor for managing roles!”
But the C level jobs are still predominantly white straight male.
We're facing a massive layoff in tech and ive seen some data (at least for Brazil) that for eery 1 man that was laid off, there were 2 women who were laid off. Where is the commitment to diversity?
The push for immigration, too. Yeah, we WONT pay more so please bring in foreigners who will be scared about losing their visas so will accept any wage we offer while also being extremely submissive to their bosses.
But in media this is so strong. I honestly think sometimes that media is romanticizing this idea of “Girl Boss” to induce more women to go into the corporate world trying to prove themselves while also being paid less. Seems like a win situation for the corporation, dont you think?
Damn, I dont know. It really sucks to live in this distopia. I grew up scare of authoritarian governments and communism, but honestly I think corporations may be much scaries (and effective) in dominating us.
Can someone please tell me Im being too suspicious?
