Huh.

“unwoke" — rejects a particular viewpoint associated with the left.

“Free-thinking and freedom loving” — while most people probably self-identity that way, currently these are actively used mostly by the right as distinguishing descriptions.

“Not...further a radical agenda” — again, negative on a description used mostly for the left (“reactionary” would be for the right)

Sounds like, despite claiming to be about avoiding ideologues, it is all about a particular side of the left/right ideological conflict.

They literally define themselves as "The job board for conservatives, libertarians and free thinkers." It's just a job board for conservative companies to hire conservative workers; if they're trying to hide it, they're doing a pretty half-assed job.

I like this idea, and wonder if something similar exists to oppose other fads like open offices. I would like to think COVID would be enough motivation to oppose open office floor plans, but religious beliefs generally cannot be rationalized away, similar to the woke thing. Really I just want separation of holy church and work.

Even if I think woke culture is BS, why would I want to apply for a job on a site that brands itself with an equally obnoxious rebuttal? What does it say about the demeanor of my potential bosses that this would appeal to them?

So, the Gab of job boards?

What I find amusing is that y'all are assuming all employers on this site are conservative owned and as such, they don't want to hire liberal employees. But I don't think that's the case. I think what they want is to hire people of any political persuasion who want to work. You can be an activist on your own time. We honestly don't seem to have people who understand how working for an income works.

Why is that amusing? It's a rational suspicion that deserves consideration.

I wasn't aware all the other job boards were for woke people

Linkedin timeline is worse than Facebook these days.

That's not implied by the existence of a special interest job board.

Many companies engage in woke politics and activism. How would you go about filtering them out on all the other job boards?

Flagged? What for?

This isn't for people who just aren't activists, it's for people who hate activists. I.e. it's just the politically opposite exclusiveness.

It's for people who don't want to lie to be able to have a job.

My son works on a job where he says he almost-daily hears people talking negatively about Clinton and Obama (years later!) and praising whatever Trump has recently done, decrying "PC culture" and generally talking like stereotypes. He'd go to HR to ask for relief, but the HR person like making borderline racist jokes about Obama, so no help there.

It seems to me that company would love this site.

To balance things out, this company has treated him very well during the pandemic, taking the mask-wearing and distancing directives seriously and ensuring everybody kept their jobs. It's just a few very-vocal employees politicizing everything, not the company as a whole.

Maybe your son would like a job board for jobs from woke companies instead.

I don't want to work in a job were activists can cancel me any time because I am a white heterosexual male.

For example since they fired James Damore, I would never consider a job with Google.

I don't like the activists, but I would tolerate them, if it weren't there nature to meddle and try to make other people bow to their will.
