If these people simply weren’t doing their jobs, then surely there would be no need for any pretense in firing them, right?

Haha, no.

They have a clear story for other wokists then: fired for just existing. If they spend all day saying the company is Xist, then when they get fired they'll make it look Xist, just like they said.

Pay me to be your official DEI officer, or else.

You’re saying that the “wokists” cannot be fired for being unproductive because that would yield too much bad PR about the company being “Xist,” but they can be fired because of a policy against being “wokist?” Never mind the absurd terminology there, even the basic reasoning is nonsensical.

I thought they left, to find a company to pay them for being wokists, not get fired?

It sounds like you don't believe that things like racism actually exist. The rest of your argument is bizarre and illogical.

It sounds like you're a nazi.

See how easy that was? Just make shit up like that? It's sure one of us being bizarre and illogical.

Whenever there's a high-profile activist worker firing, I'm suspicious of motives on both sides because the company really could be trying to suppress something, but someone spending this much time as an activist could be seriously underperforming in their job.
