When I first started my current job a couple of years ago, there was a discussion going on in the office complaining about ‘woke’, albeit fairly mildly, which I wasn’t really participating in. My boss, who’s ex-army asked ‘Are you woke Almacca?’, to which I replied ‘I’m woke as fuck.’ She hasn’t brought it up again since. :)
The “anti-woke” men at my office once crowned me the “woke police” because I commented on one of their sexist/racist/homophobic/ whatever “jokes”. It’s my badge of honour. The weird part is that we kinda entered into some sort of cold war. I could comment on their “jokes”, pretending it was in jest as part of my job as “woke police”, while still getting the message across. I guess it kinda kept some semblance of friendliness and ability to cooperate while we still got our opinions out.
