Any company that doesn’t background check and social media check and hires an SJW into their company deserves all the damaging litigation they get.

Do the SJW folks typically have hire-able skills anyway?

They go straight into HR and PR and Diversity Training. Then they make the Policy, and tell the executives their political extremist policies are the new normal and expected to be followed.

Just like Academia. The Chemists and the Physicists do all the work, the Crit Lit people make all the rules.

In Any case, this already happened. From Google to the Linux Foundation.

There are two flavors of regret-hire, the Grievance Artist and the Non-Player Character.

You will accidentally hire many NPCs. Some will remain dormant forever, some will occasionally reveal their true masters with virtue signaling t-shirts or tut-tutting the latest news with mainstream media talking points, but they generally lack the independent thought to make any trouble.

If you hire one Grievance Artist, you will know. They will activate the sleeper cell of NPCs in the organization. They will sow discontent and manufacture crises. They will try to train up NPCs into being deputy Grievance Artists using the the playbook: first, Nihilism Lite; then on to concepts in Postmodernism; then Cultural Marxism as the cure; finally, Intersectional Victimology as the religion.

Try as you might to screen, you're gonna get some NPCs. You just have to make damn sure you never hire the Grievance Artist. Some warning signs: has a Twitter presence, has given or promoted talks on "equity", went to a SJW diploma mill like Evergreen or Oberlin, job history shows lots of sub-2-year stints, has the "dip a pet" bad faded dye job in wacky colors, has the nose "bull ring", has resting bitch face (RBF) or Soy Face, wants to introduce "codes of conduct" to an organization, ever casually uses any of the following words or phrases in an interview: "let's unpack that", "privilege", "hate speech", "marginalized", "underrepresented", "problematic", "diversity", "equity" (not "equality", and not equity in the financial sense).

Anything is harassment as long as the person thinks it is. That’s the stupidity of CA harassment laws.

That is absolutely accurate.

The main question for me is how to most effectively deal with it. The Grievance Artist is operating from her high horse of moral infallibility. Any objection to, say, diversity for its own sake (instead of competition based purely on individual merit) will be met with shrieks of moral outrage from the Grievance Artist and her NPC "sleeper cell" (excellent analogy).

The newest thing they are trying to push that I've noticed at my kids School was trying to change stem to steam. Adding arts to stem makes the whole point of stem utterly pointless.

That will just make my time worth more.

IHLs used to be useful as enforcers to ride herd on the bitchy, manipulative females of the workplace. As unhappy dominant sadists, they were naturals. However, they never questioned the hierarchy. Now, they think they should run the place with the observed disastrous consequences.

Be a Capitalist. Start your own business. Move to pretty much anywhere other than San Francisco.

I'd rather say: take San Francisco back. Neither Grievance Artists nor NPCs are a majority in SF, contrary to popular opinion. There are still a silent majority of moderates, Classical Liberals, and Libertarians here. The problem is that they're cowed and afraid to speak their true thoughts when confronted with this nonsense. I'm not afraid, I'll tell the truth. I don't care if I lose my job. We should hire people who aren't afraid to express themselves, especially in the face of the NPC frown chorus. Spread the word.

Art and Music make Science, Technology, Engineering and Math ‘utterly pointless’ how do you figure?

Why the need for an acronym? It’s school for Christ Sakes, what is the point of taking all the subjects and creating an acronym to promote some sort of silly exclusiveness?

That’s some coastal elite nonsense right there.

It’s not just Arts and Music that they want to add in, its liberal arts in general art is a pretty vague thing. What is the point in making something to focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math if it’s just going to be diluted back down to nothing by including everything else? The whole point was to try to kick start creating more engineers and scientists because we have a shortage and a massive over abundance of liberal arts majors with pointless degrees.
