@Old_Lamplighter - I agree it's an asinine questionnaire, but I don't see any connection to being "woke" (which is related to social awareness, not punctuality).

@Old_Lamplighter Crediting success to more than hard work is just acknowledging reality lmao

@LaconicDroid according to "critical race theory", crediting success to hard work, is "toxic whiteness", and goes against the "be less white" programs out there

@LaconicDroid since I'm in a few "protected classes" myself, I constantly get people trying to rope me into this nonsense. It's really more insulting than people getting into your face over your "immutable traits" or whatever they're calling it this week. What it really is is "condescending compassion". I could be wrong and will admit to a bit of confirmation bias on my part, but I see it often enough to know it's a thing.

And as if on cue: the endless rant about the evils of "wokeness".

@user76284 Yep. There is something seriously wrong with people who feel that victimhood is something to be proud of, it's something to overcome.

@Old_Lamplighter I'm a regular visitor of this SE and others. I occasionally comment or answer. I didn't come in "just to snark". And yes, I saw that part, it only makes your suggestion that anyone has the luxury to forgo potential employment because it might be a "bad fit" all the more incongruous.

@Old_Lamplighter do you not see the irony of you saying that while discounting the situation of people who can't afford to turn down a job?

You beat me to it. It's a "wokeness" survey, and a damn good indication that they won't be the type of company to work for.

@Walfrat substitute the word "luck" with "privilege" and that's what they're looking for.

@BernhardBarker Oh, he answered the question, quite effectively too. stupid questions like these are a clear sign of what kind of nonsense awaits if you join such an organization.

@BernhardBarker anyone can argue edge cases, but doing so is not helpful in the least. But to answer your question, I was in that position, I took the job, and they were so crazy, I had a stroke, ended up getting divorced and was homeless for a while. So, personally, I'd say yes. Would you advise someone to take the job that I took?
