I repeat my comment: banding the word "woke’ around makes no sense here. I have zero clue what you mean by it. It is used in a very intellectually lazy way by some people. Say what you mean … don’t hide behind terms such as this to keep grinding a chip on the shoulder. Even the article that you provide a link to does not use the word.
Every single company that I have ever worked for will claim that it hires “talent” and promotes it based on “merit”. I think just about any business will hire based on “merit”. The thing is the company gets to define “merit” not you. Every company I have worked for had/has diversity and inclusion policies. Wang himself says No group has a monopoly on excellence. There is zero that is being said here by Wang that is not said by every other company. But what Wang and the article seem to be doing is Virtue signalling. This is a “culture war”/ identity politics piece as Investors revolt against Woke business practices? - #17 by Cameron comments.
The article is trite and does not help me in anyway whatsoever ever to make any investment decision.
