The best thing to do is to ignore these people, they will never be happy so there's no point trying to please them.

If you ignore someone who is never happy then in time they may respect you, but if you always comply then they will never respect you and their perceived power over you simply increases, which means they feel empowered to ask for more and more.

But how will tech Cos show they're woke if they can't just change the names of things and say they did something important?

It's literally a bragging point at my new Co.

Anyone else intentionally making master branches in new repos at work?

It's hilarious watching the amount of mental energy people waste on this.

I'd say they took charge, weaponizing empathy and recruiting useful idiots and powerful cowards.
