@gmiller Corporate “woke” initiatives are often only adopted by employers for reputation and HR management reasons, not to change company culture. Many Gen-Zs who genuinely support “woke” values will still have to do ideological labour to feign enthusiasm for them.

@wynhopkins I find I can get people the reporting they need much more quickly using PQ and perhaps a little power pivot. Building power BI reports is like building infrastructure - you have to know that it will still serve business needs in a couple of years time to justify the effort.

Maya Forstater did not lose her job because she campaigned against the GRA. She did not lose her job because she believed in biological sex.
