How to handle a woke retard who has valuable skills but wants to push his woke agenda

Every time I've had "woke" people on my team, they tried to sabotage the project, position themselves as victim, and use grievances as a means of forward projection.

Really, ANYTHING OTHER THAN WORKING HARD AND PUTTING THE TIME IN. They'd put more effort into shoehorning in their totalitarian, Marxist doctrine rather than doing anything resembling work, while constantly talking down to everyone else.

They're scum, and poison teams. I'd say hiring anyone younger than 26 is a massive gamble.

Are you guys soy boys?

Go woke .... go broke.

Fire the fucker. End of story.

How old is he?

Most programming geniuses aren't woke retards, I suggest hiring one of those instead.

In fact, I strongly question your assessment of this guy being a programming genius. All the woke leftist programmers I've seen have been subpar script monkeys with zero depth to their knowledge - if they even take time from their agenda-pushing to do actual work at all.

Maybe you know so little about programming you don't realize just what a pathetic hack this dude really is at his trade?

Wait wait wait. Keep buttering him up, make sure EVERYONE signs an NDA and a noncompete!

THEN

fire his ass.

As has been proved time and time again...

GO WOKE GO BROKE

He'll kill the firm in the end, no matter how clever he is.

My suggestion is to start running your life like a business.

I've just settled with two major corps and a 3rd is on the way.

If they can fuck anyone without documentation then so can I.

Woke is retard no matter what skills you think he has. Anyone can replace anyone else on this rock in any job. Dump that shit or it will sink you.

Tell him no, absolutely not.
If he persists, fire him.

Lol...best bang for the buck of a green pine ever...almost a full day.

Have someone on the team who he thinks leans towards his side say, "Yes that sounds like a good idea but it needs to be editable because you know there are going to be more companies coming out as racist."

Then, get the part of the code where he/it makes it easy to add companies to a list. When he's done, delete the list or put a false company in it.

Cut out the cancer before it spreads.
I have personally seen this ruin a team.

I have no idea why anyone on the thread even entertains this bullshit. I have a business to run. You're not in? You're GONE.

Like I said. Never had to fire anyone. But this is a business. I'm not your friend... I'm not your buddy... I'm here to get a result for the company and SO ARE YOU. Get on board or get lost.

I helped a few find other jobs cuz I'm cool like that. It's not personal. It's a business.

Not quite sure how OP's biz structure works. Start ups are often kind of amorphous until every fits into a role post launch? I only have pot growing to compare it to though. But that was the way that 1,000,000's of tons of Bc Bud made it South.

I took a startup to market for $2.1M

Not the query. What was your structure like in the start up phase? If you don't mind me asking because I am quite intrigued by start ups in general. What are the 'roles' so to speak?

Started out pretty loose but once it got serious the stakeholders volunteered for roles and it went from there. From that point, we ran it like a business... Kinda the "fake it until you make it" schtick. Everyone talked a good game, even if we didn't have it, but it was a pleasure to finally see the sign go up on the building.

At least, for my guys everyone was given stock so I could always say "listen, you keep working with us... Every dollar you make for the company is going to go straight in your pocket one day" that seemed to be a pretty good motivation and it was right. I sold out at $76/share. This was penny stock when I was issued the restricted stock.

I'm just trying to impress upon you that I Know what I'm talking about, that's all.

When I got there the company had less than 100 employees and a 8.5x11 in the window with the company logo on it. When I left we had over 760, worldwide. When I started, My department had 7 people total (including management) and when I left I was leading 64.

I sat on the corporate steering committee and even my managers didn't know when we got sold. I did, though. I remember my direct manager asking some serious questions directly prior to merger and I had been instructed to keep my trap shut and had to tell him straight up that I cannot tell him anything. Lol.

I'm not anyone to impress, but thanks for your pretty awesome run down. Being a now ex medpot grower, I am looking at a few things but I am so much more functional in the grey and black markets (I'm 53, so...since I was 16) then I am in 'normie' world so your breakdown gives me a decent framework (not to build on but to hold as a Platonic Ideal). Thanks. Have an awesome weekend.

I fucked up quoting

Well you asked, and I told you. I don't care about what you're doing per se but fine... Wanna doubt me? Don't think I know what I'm talking about? Fine. I really don't care what you want to believe.

Another anecdote... Manager locks himself out of his office but has a 3 hour ride home. Late night, offices are closed can't get anyone to come unlock the door before he leaves. Well, I was a key holder. I had key for the entire campus. But I did not abuse it. So, I made a couple calls... Facilities says c'mon you have a key, let him in. I said I just needed your authorization and he was pretty much like c'mon this is what we have you the key for... I said okay, as long as it is authorized he says listen you were given the key because we trust your judgement don't call me next time.

So I got the key let my manager into his own office. He had no idea. I got some flak after the fact he says so you had the key to my and the other managers office the whole time? Yes. Yes I did. He asked how I said, well, I'm employee 46 aren't I? We all had keys, then. He was speechless.

So, this is what it's like to be in a startup. Couple other times I "bended" the rules because it was the right thing for the company. It comes down to trust. You have to trust the people who are working for you, and that's my point.

One night the power went out campus wide but when it came back on, services did not come back. I "abused" my key holder status to turn back on all of the systems in the IT cage, which got the company back online. Never heard a peep about it it other than "I heard you entered the IT cage last night when you weren't supposed to" and I replied "we had an emergency and I needed to do that to get the company back up"... The only reprimand I got was "good job."

Lay off the Scotch. I thanked you...

No scotch, Willy. Just trying to demonstrate real life in the startup. I think the takeaway is that you're going to have to trust your employees. It seems the OP cannot trust the employees. This is key in the startup.

I wish I could go back. Best times of my life no joke.

Can someone explain the origin of this term “Woke”?

Why do we call this person “woke”?

Ah,
