Could you please define "woke culture" for me?

Topics that usually include "racial or social discrimination and injustice". They are introduced to the workplace in many different forms and reasons. When it comes to the workplace, some are justified some aren't. There are lots of social issues that should remain muted or non-existent in the workplace, but yea it also just depends on the situation.

Thank you for your response - I have a follow-up question: Is "Treat your colleagues that may be different from you with respect" woke culture?

Conversely, could this not describe Musk's/SpaceX's response to this: complaining about a letter rather than working with them?

I don't think anyone has accused the letter writers of not getting their job done. So far it seems this is all about the boss having a thin skin.

They're accused of making employees feel "uncomfortable, intimidated and bullied".

Without knowing the details of the situation, I'm not sure we can confidently know whether these employees were being jerks or management were being jerks.

> Victimhood of feelings sums it up.

Like firing people for being critical of one's Lord and Savior?

They were fired for badgering other employees with a letter complaining about tweets.

Complaining about letters instead of working?

Sticks, stones and letters may break my bones.

That sounds just like Musk’s job description!

I don’t hear anyone talking, let alone complaining, about Satya tweets, or Cook tweets, or Zuckerberg tweets, or any other CEO. I don’t hear people discussing publicity stunts performed by CEOs not named Elon Musk. I get that you’re trying to troll but you’re not trying hard enough.

Marketing teams write their tweets. They never say anything interesting or remotely human.

Wait, this is exactly what Elon Musk himself does. Remember the whole "pedo guy" incident? And all of the Musk noise recently about being conservative and buying twitter?
