CEO of Blackrock: “We will force these behaviors on people”

[BillyKing 83]

According to this guy, they’re making companies Force these views on people whether we want them or not. They don’t care. Scary times when you have major companies like this flat out telling people they’re going to force behaviors on you and there’s nothing you can do about it. Hence why there’s so much trans stuff out now

[Wade Garrett 155]

My company is pretty woke and it sucks.  DEI crap all the time.

But that's about it, no pronouns or any of that other crap.

Forcing what behaviors?  The video is a 10 second clip saying they are forcing behaviors.  No context.  How does this become they are forcing trans people on us?  Insane

It should be longer.

But the woke ESG stuff pushed by Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street onto all corporations into compliance is surely what he is talking about.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

its impossible for them to force behaviors on people.  this is because the only purpose of the woke agenda is to put the radical left in power.  that means the definition of woke must keep changing every election cycle to most effectively achieve this.  then you wind up with a situation where these woke CEOs keep having to apologize for or try to hide the things they were saying 4 years ago.  so they will lose credibility.  eventually, they will have to redefine woke as "vote for the democrats or else".

There is nothing impossible about it. Look around ... they ARE doing it to you. The top hedge funds have bought into the woke agenda and forcing, yes forcing, everybody else into compliance.

Also, it's not a conspiracy. They're quite open about it.

Wall st is not pushing corporations to follow ESG.  They are doing it themselves.  And it's not trans stuff, it's modern slavery, carbon emissions, conflict minerals, ethics, etc.

We can't be sure he's talking about anything.  I know blackrock has been attacked by the right lately, hell some people here tried to argue that they are buying people's houses and evicting them for focks sake.  Gotta stop believe the lies man.

I was searching for a file on my company's network, and I came across a folder called "DEI Compliance Committee". I couldn't see what was in it, since I wasn't an authorized user. I work for a global auto parts manufacturer.

I might suggest that this has always been the case.  When you are employed they have an employee code of conduct, follow that code or be let go.....

like i say, they cant because the ground keeps shifting under their feet.  they have to recraft the message every election cycle.  maybe being prowar is the correct message in the moment.  maybe in a year from now, being antiwar is the correct message, and woke ideology must shift to fix that.  so you will have everyone dancing around and shifting behaviors every 2 years?  every few months?  its never gonna happen ... unless they just say "vote democrat or else".

now, they might TRY really super hard.  but they will only exhaust themselves and achieve nothing.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

these CEOs dont understand what they are getting themselves into.  ESG will quickly devolve into:  the democrat leadership has just handed down its new talking points to win the current election.  you are now required to change the definition of "woke" to fit these guidelines.  failure to convert the masses to conform to this new liturgy will result in your dismissal.

It's not that it's "being exposed" because they're not hiding the ball. It's that people who don't agree with their goals are also being exposed to them in warning.

 They're a who's who of jet-setting political, corporate, and cultural leaders at places like the World Economic Forum, the IMF, the European Bank, or the UN that hold open symposiums,  hold press conferences setting global goals, and conduct interviews.  Presidents of countries and CEOs; they get loads press coverage. So it's not like it's a quiet conspiracy, these political and corporate leaders are happy to hob-nob and be seen attending these meetings. They're quite open about it all. 

Website: https://www.weforum.org/

Larry Fink, giving this interview, is listed on the board of trustees of the World Economic Forum alongside Al Gore and others: https://www.weforum.org/about/leadership-and-governance
 

And they have lots and lots of goals, not just one thing as naive gutterboy doesn't seem to know/realize. "Stakeholder yada yada. You can read about them here, as I say, they are open about who participates and what they want to achieve. https://www.weforum.org/about/world-economic-forum

Agreed.

I think it was at some point in 2021 that oil futures briefly traded negative. I knew that wouldn't last, but didn't have the guts to buy something like Exxon Mobil.

Regular funds, pension funds, institutional funds, etc, that didn't take advantage of that, are doing a disservice to shareholders.

The end result is that Exxon has a two-year return of 72%, while the S&P 500 is flat.

Liberals in general are broken mentally ill people. We've all seen the studies where the vast majority of them are either sick in the head or care for a physically or mentally handicapped person. They need someone to take care of them and tell them what to do.

DonS use to post stories of what it's like to be stuck in one of these fully woke corporations. 

 

Story from a neighbor I had in Boston. His son is high level programmer, and the company that the kid used to work for had a group of workers go out to eat after work on Friday. 

The son and several other programmers were dragged into HR. Apparently a couple of women asked to join them, but were declined. The women went to HR and said it was "sexist" and "not inclusive" The general point was made that this was after work, at the same local restaurant that had no ties to the company. No company funds were used. No work was discussed. It was off the clock and off the work premises. 

The HR director said she would dig into everyone's communications, to see if they coordinated any of these "meetings" using work emails and/or work issued devices. Since that would officially make it a "work event" 

So the kid quit on the spot. So did several others because they had good experience and lots of other programming opportunities in their field. CEO reached out to the people who left and asked them to come back and it would all be worked out. They said "No"  They went on to other jobs. Company went under 15 months later. They lost basically the core 5-6 people that were doing about 85 percent of the critical work that was keeping the company competitive and afloat. 

You are ripe for abuse if you have no other options. If you don't have the power to walk away. That's what makes Elon Musk so dangerous to the radical left. He's openly said he is going to say what he wants, and if it costs him some money, then so be it. 

What are the lessons here? No matter where you are out there, you need a constant "exit strategy" Nothing last forever and you need to think constantly about your next best move. Also, that it only takes one woke idiot to sink a ship.

I believe this totally. Small companies can totally go under if 5-6 key worker bees quit them. No doubt about that in the least. 

I'm happy to hear this story. I hope the women who whined all suffered when they lost their jobs. Focking grow up and be independent as you are given the opportunity to be.

As far as exit strategy, identify your space and take advantage of it without taking advantage of others. I work in a woke company. But they are world wide and over 750000 employees so I forgive them. Cover all bases even though it makes me ill reading constant inclusion and diversity emails.

But even the large companies like I'm in suffer in regions when certain people quit. And I love the leverage.
