Woke AstraZeneca

You are 100% correct that AZ is now a full-woke organization. The evidence is everywhere (i.e. the EV email that came out this past week). Once again AZ has become just another spineless corporation like Coca-cola and others, worried more about ESG scores and diversity than its true responsibilities to its employees and stockholders.
You have to admire the companies that instead stand strong and focus on building solid services and products and being the best their field, vs. going down the destructive path of focusing on political posturing and woke policy. Unfortunately, we’re not working for one…..

Oh Cry me a river....

What has AZ done - in the pursuit of being "woke" - that has hurt employees and shareholders? You sound rediculous
Forcing us all in to EV vehicles for starters. Many of us live in places where there are no places to charge. Other's have kids that require car seats that do not fit in to the back seat of most of these offerings. For those of us with big territories, we have to go rent a gas powered vehicle most weeks. This is reducing productivity and costing more.....all the while AZ charges us for the "privilege" of helping save the environment. What a joke.

Yeah, Fuck AZ. Living the dream with the all-day lie.
 






Anyone complaining about a company provided vehicle, made available at very little cost to the employee really needs to grow up. AND realize that YOU are not smarter than the vast population of others who do not have a company provided vehicle/plan, but just plain LUCKY. You have not idea how so many hard working people live without such a luxury. Instead of complaining why not just say THANK YOU? I'm anticipating a lot of negative nasty comments to my post. However those posts will only reflect how "unwoke" the poster really is. "Unwoke" because they are young and inexperienced? Or because they have always lived a life of privilege and assume they should receive benefits just because they have always lived a life that automatically provided them.
 






I don’t mind sacrificing to help the planet. It’s a small price to pay for clean air and minimizing the destruction of the planet. I have had no problem getting around the territory.

Based on your last sentence, I assume you are speaking about people who get a monthly check from the gov't for doing little to nothing. They are the pones living a life of privilege because they more than likely have always had things provided for them.

Those fires last week have already polluted the planet more than the past 150 years of human activity. Your electric car isn't doing shit to help anything.

Don't be ridiculous. Vehicles are not "provided" to us, we pay a discounted rental fee for them out of our own pocket and have nearly no say in what we drive.

Hear! Hear!
Very little!!!!!!
 












Thanks for your thoughtful post. Recent poll indicates that 90% of Americans support the EV movement. God Bless

Not as fleet vehicles in large areas. This commentary is just utter nonsense. Context is everything and legitimate points, reality, and concerns have been ignored throughout this entire decision process.

You can support the concept and use of EV's while also ack owleding the current limitations and reality of the situation.
