Amazon Web Services Force PRONOUN PINS On Employees At Web Conference!

[@kitkakitteh]

Nope. I am not an ally, not “inclusive” as they’ve redefined it, and not rolling over for it.

[@SterileNeutrino]

6:11 is just so dystopian ... like the pin's for the "Anti-Sex League"

[@zombieGI]

Here here!

[@pinnyskinis9411]

So stunning and brave

[@AaronAlexanderOfficial]

Yep, it's a cult!

[@Deridus]

@@AaronAlexanderOfficial It certainly does look like that. It isn't but it does look like it. It's more like an Infectious philosophy.

[@oczhaal]

A tyranny !

[@KAL5370]

I would have to be fired before I worn one of those. Then I would sue them.

[@BroadMeadow-d9s]

I remember when this sort of demand for conformity was a joke on 'Seinfeld'. "You know what you are? You're a ribbon bully." "Who will not wear the ribbon!?" Etc.

[@JenEssitBroughman]

NO SOUP FOR YOU! Come back next week!

[@jimjam51075]

Compelled speech. The employees have a case.

[@giedmich]

So how many years we are away from litteral CAMPS for people who do not comply?

[@SterileNeutrino]

Reminds me when the German "interior minister" Nancy Fäser wore an "anti-discrimination armband" saying "OneLove". Generally the lady behaves like a Red Commissar, shutting down stuff left and right that she doesn't like with scant judicial process.

[@AuthorJohnADouglas]

Its a modern day purity test. Its not to conform us to anything, its so they can recognize each other.

[@commentinglife6175]

They'd be pissed at me. Me: "I'm sorry, but my pin isn't here." Them: "Oh, what is your pronoun?" Me: "Ultimate One and Ruler of the 17 Kingdoms of Crzaskila. Oh, and 'Bezos' in my professional life." Then again, time for companies to listen to Amazon. Remember, Amazon wants employees to return to the office. Well then, why shouldn't companies' data ALSO return? Think about it. If employees can't be trusted outside the corporate walls, how the hell can the company data? Return it to the office - ban AWS!

[@Marinealver]

Who/Whu/Huh Yes, looks like you don't have them. So I won't wear one.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

As much fun as it is to mock these weird "people" and "their" disgusting corruption of the language.... We need to be careful how much we mock it. "They" have us focused on this weirdness and it is partially a distraction from worse things. However, it does put "their" weirdness in the forefront of our thoughts, and we should be mindful of what our thoughts are. (That's just my 'wet blanket' speech to keep in mind so we don't get too carried away with mocking "them" and forget what is really important)

[@jokester3076]

Didn’t Amazon once try to convince warehouse workers to wear adult diapers, so they’d have fewer bathroom breaks?

[@Marinealver]

Yup

[@GG21188]

I identify as a MILLIONIARE I'm just wondering were all my money is ?

[@Deridus]

Lumping dyslexia in with the rest of the nuero-divergence is unfair.

[@Translucent100]

They only put dyslexia in there to indoctrinate people toward greater sympathy for the others. Demons are clever like that.

[@Translucent100]

censored

[@Deridus]

@Translucent100 You were?

[@Translucent100]

​@@Deridus Yeah, all the time. Highly woke Alphabet Inc. hates me

[@Deridus]

@@Translucent100 That just tells me that you and I are on the right track. Seems like half of what I write gets deleted.

[@stonemorris5356]

I'm so glad I didn't go to college and spend 10 years building my career just to be confronted with the choice between diversity training and pronoun pins or getting fired.

[@ken0489]

Feels like acts of yatzis

[@Translucent100]

Aka 'Hail Satan! pins' 👹😈

[@williamdrum9899]

Friendly reminder that AWS destroyed Parler (essentially BlueSky but for pre-Elon Twitter)

[@thelonespacemarine5211]

Also someone got paid for those pins

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

It's optional. Everybody else was there, so you should be there too. Bows of the rain shirts will visit you and your family and friends. We are getting to that point - and sooner than we think.

[@Adamthegeek70]

I will not comply.

[@Deridus]

@@Adamthegeek70 Good. You are in good company.

[@theredneckalien5964]

Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

[@Pickle_Maniac]

Cool, can I get a yellow star too!

[@stolenrepublic2071]

Lawsuit

[@gondorianslayer4250]

why do i have to be gay so badly?

[@Blunthammer]

One of the paths to destroying the West.

[@SterileNeutrino]

Maybe "The Forever War", where the government gayifies people to control population, is being implemented

[@knessing7681]

do they have attack helicopter or battleship pins, cuz those are my pronouns

[@Micke12312]

😂

[@UpperEchelon_1]

It's time to boycott Amazon. No more "but they are cheap and it's easy". The line is drawn a long time ago and Amazon crossed it a long time ago.

[@dantesc2520]

I identify as Donald Trump supporter. My pronounce are American/First.

[@MervtheWarlord]

you know whats funny, I used to work in corporates and I would see crap like this and walk right by it without thinking about it because I know what it is but I will watch a video on some guy that talks about it. huh weird

[@SterileNeutrino]

Better get out of that particular cloud then. Sooner or later someone will feel the microaggression and wipe half a data center. One may note that "Amazon" is basically Amazon Cloud + a gift shop in a corner that sells books and stuff. And the Cloud is rather good, too. What a waste.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

Yup. It looks like more and more people are beginning to realize what is really happening. Get ready everyone! It's going to be a very wild ride! (Euphemism for 'not pleasant')

[@neonsheep3358]

If you think this is bad, you should see what's going on inside the pentagon.

[@Deridus]

@@neonsheep3358 Herr General Milley, I presume?

[@thechuckjosechannel.2702]

I identify as NonBuynary.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

The bows of the rain shirts are coming. Most people will look the other way when the bows of the rain shirts come to do what "they" want to people "they" don't like. Real people need to decide very quickly how they want to live. Real people need to make proper decisions now.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

huh. When are "they" going to suggest people prominently display a certain three number sequence? (y'know, each of the three digits are after five and before seven.)

[@spooderman6522]

It's all so tiresome

[@Ryan-kg3zx]

What’s next? Are they going to make employees pray five times a day to Mecca?

[@ArksideGames]

Oh nce, more competition in the amazon held space. AWS alternatives etc will rise. Amazon's service has declined in our region of the planet sadly, as well.

[@PhoenixOfJustice2625]

Well, they are about to learn their lesson to not mess with us because they will lose everything if they keep doing this. These aliens must be stopped now. 🙅🏻‍♀️

[@MrMikeroffel]

as sombody with autisem i hate to se pins want to know we ask me no pins also can i get a enemy pin serius wuld walk aut door and never return

[@Sierra-208]

'Tis only a matter of time before Amazon starts is gradual decline

[@ronaldlebeck9577]

I have a pin that says... DYSFUNCTIONAL VETERAN LEAVE ME ALONE I wonder if that would work? 🤔😆

[@jamiel6169]

The pin write ups make them sound like characters in the world's worst online shooter game. Allies listen, support, question, they have low wisdom and high dexterity to constantly dodge reality, their ultimate power: cringe will send enemies reeling...

[@TurdFerguson-td9nx]

How is this sickness legal? You cant force people to wear this trash

[@pentegarn1]

Amazon threatened to kick me of Amazon for using the word "woke" in a product review. So this doesn't shock me at all. It's also why I don't use Amazon anymore.

[@the_fool_of_space]

ah yes, labeling people based on appearance, gender, and mental state, hmmmmm, now where have i seen that before?

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

It is happening.

[@Krix6426]

Facebook already has forced pronouns on your pages.

[@SkullyX99]

This happened to me. I quit on the spot.

[@australiainfelix7307]

Pathetic.

[@HermitGeek]

What's next? Yellow arm bands with a star on them..?

[@TheYgds]

All the pins taken were by crazy women. In other news, water is wet.

[@rosegilliland220]

1:30-You sold me on Star Trek. But! Is it similar to Star Trek original? My favorite of the series.

[@rosegilliland220]

2:35-Baby approves. 😂

[@Ofxzh]

6:21 I don't agree with what they're doing, but saying that people with austism are crazy people is a bit rude.

[@ChristFollower365]

he was referring to people why claim to be nero-divergent, they added a bunch of common disabilitys to the mix.

[@hammertronactionfigures2426]

It's more than a little scary. But...... The good news is it helps identify who "they" are.

[@GigaTyGuy]

Anyone know any based ttrpg streams? The likes of critical role & dimension 20 are talented. And I used to enjoy them. But I'm burnt out by the talent. Who they are and what they stand for. It takes away from the art/fun and is distracting IMHO. The whole hobby is pretty pozzed though, so finding a good stream is rough.

[@TheSoggyGoblin]

I'd recommend legend of Avantris. They are quite hilarious and worth a watch.

[@GigaTyGuy]

@@TheSoggyGoblin thanks. I'll check it out

[@resekai]

If they are forcing , then my pronoun will be BaldJeff/BeffJezo
