This kinda happened to me at a workplace.

I tried to negotiate my salary when I began and they said they don't negotiate salaries because people of color and women are disproportionately less likely to negotiate than White men who benefit from the practice. And I'm like, but... I'm a person of color?? They wouldn't hear any of it. One of the worst jobs I've ever had.

    It's corpo socialism using woke talking points as a cudgel.

    Edit: glad Lemmy had users that are fans of public funds bailing out large corporations. But I want you all that downvoted me(cause you don't have a grasp of the English language!) to know I truly don't care what you think. If a for profit corporation requires public (read "social") funds, then they don't need to exist. 🖕 To all you idiots.

    This is like how car dealers have a no haggle policy and act like that's a good thing.

    The first time I heard that years ago, I was astonished. Who would accept such a thing?

    "Buying a car is easy at RipOff Motors! You just pay the sticker price, no haggling! Isn't that GREAT!"

    I'm showing up on the 28th of the month with the dealer cost in mind, and a willingness to pay 10% above that. If you don't want to haggle, I'll just go to one of the 20 other dealerships within a 30 minute drive.

    I successfully haggled with a "no haggle" dealership. I made an offer, they declined, they called me a week later to see if I was still interested, I declined, 15 min later they lower the price on their site to about the number I wanted and I called them back.
