The Gilded Age Revisited: Performative DEI

Says the black male manager to his manager…

“So you’re encapsulating the totality of my work to that Google form?”

OD micro management 

A trustless society 

Regression to the spirit of boardwalk empire 

Mimicking Louisville slugger style union organizing

Cloaked in modernity

The kind of anxiety that birthed the Atlanta teacher cheating scandal

In contradiction to the cushy core values and progressive policies

DEI on the shelf during the campaign anything goes

Vassal chapters without hierarchical cultures were nuked

Imported operatives with sight and hearing impairments 

Not a winning formula in the landscape

Gens Y and Z are cut differently than Boomers and X

Misalignment with afrofuturist thought and the naive love of humanity 

The future of work they seek
