Err, yes?

Over half of employees, including white men, downplay parts of their identity to fit in better at work

Well now, Mick Jagger didn’t eat a mars bar with Marianne at work now, did he, on stage?

Interesting that the article claims white men aren’t marginalised!!!

Woke rubbish.
WTF is an “identity”?

Given the current state of the world shouldn’t it say especially instead of including

These will not be employees in the real world sense, people employed in productive activities.

These will be “employees” of, for example, the “consultancy” that produced this piece of surreal, clown world garbage.

The references to white men surely proves this.

Employing white men is the only way to ensure anything gets done.

I keep the cross dressing, axe murderer bit quiet, whereas MrsBud says she’s single.

Is 1 out of every 180,000 Americans a legit sample size?

I’d have thought that everyone has always worn a work personality, for example, I don’t tell the jokes I do at home at work – is that a major curtailment deserving of some mattress soaking article?

Nothing surprising in this but all those university-educated twats have to keep themselves busy somehow.

We are continuously asked to share about ourselves at work and told that it is an inclusive workplace where we can bring our whole selves. It’s never considered normal not to.

60% of respondents said they “cover”
74% of respondents said that “covering” affected them negatively.
Grauniad quality of numeracy – it implies that at least 14% lied about “covering” but then effectively admitted it by saying “covering” affected them negatively *in the same survey* (presumably to the same person).

Maybe it’s badly written and 74% of the 60% that covered said it was negative, though it’s evens as to if it’s journalistic incompetence and the researchers incompetence

Yes, but I’ve never dared take them up on that one.

I’ve had employers (or the internal Comms people) banging on about “bring your whole self to work” before. They don’t mean it!
