If I were at these meetings, and finally permitted to speak, I would simply tell them that I know my place and my esteemed colleagues might have something to say later in the year.
So, I’ll wait.
Then I’d shut up.
........I think the “giving the floor” attitude in “meetings” is precisely what got us conservatives in the jam we are in. We need to be LONG and LOUD on the floor and TO HELL with all THE LEFT’s theories about race or anything else! Raytheon’s management should be fired.
Interesting. Raytheon used to be one of the most conservative large companies. Apparently the wokes decided to change this.
I did 35 at Raytheon, retired in 2018, none too soon. Done some contracting since. Got out because I was bored out of my mind, but this kind of vibe was in the breeze at the time.
I was always taught you need to earn respect. Its not given. You get the benefit of the doubt from me in the meantime until you do something that improves things or tunes me out. Be a good human and if you treat others with the respect theyve earned, they will return it.
The stupids running these outfits mandate this training to diminish federal or state and local trouble or problems with outside agitators or tort lawyers and they hire people to do seminars and training and enlightenment I think not fully realizing the radicals they are hiring or thinking it’s somehow innocuous because if you’re at the top it doesn’t affect you as much
This shit started with the civil rights legislation so many here and their educators in talk radio always wish to take credit for
Legislation liberal and moderate Republicans and Democrats worked together to pass over the opposition of conservatives in both parties and folks like Magnus and Goldwater and Buckley.....and so on
Think about that next time
I am so glad I’m retired.
Why don’t they just go all the way, turn over their Planning and Development, and production lines to those with marginal ideas and talent.
I’m a White Southern heterosexual populist male. That is my identity. That clearly places me in a marginalized group.
When I graduated college in the 80’s I went to work for a Fortune 150 electronics component manufacturing firm with a substantial portion of their business in military, aerospace and automotive sectors. The company’s president was an engineer - a serious one. He held tens of patents that lined his office wall. The corporate culture was hard-core. Ideas and facts mattered. While not “mean”, if you ever spoke a weak-minded thought in a meeting, you would be torn to shreds. There was constant competition. By the mid-90’s all that was mostly gone. The company company was broken up and sold off. It’s mostly American manufacturing facilities where were shuttered and offshored. I left in the early 90’s to work for myself when I saw the writing on the wall. Somehow I think it was my generation (tail-end of baby boomers) that started all this crap and it has only accelerated since.
Well... along with mouthing-off in meetings, comes the responsibility for what comes OUT of your mouth! It’s easy for that kind of person to write a check with their mouth that their a#@ can’t cash!!
People wholly UNUSED to taking responsibility for themselves may like to re consider a BS protocol that would put them in the position of having to put up … or STFU! Making a public show of just how stupid you are will not enhance your career opportunities 😁
Oh look !
Another group
oppressing people
under the guise of antioppresion.
Aka
Racists calling others racist.
I think I see a pattern here.
When I was forced to join a union at a manufacturing business, the union local boss would encourage us to promote the union to fellow workers. He even handed out pretty fliers. It was like attending a plastic food storage party. (Don’t ask.)
We never did promote any union crap. It was just more BS that went in one ear and out the other. I suspect this Raytheon missive has about the same effect.
