CEO OF 'NON-WOKE' JOB BOARD SAYS BUSINESS IS BOOMING AS WORKERS FLEE
IDEOLOGICALLY DRIVEN COMPANIES


CEO SAYS EMPLOYEES ARE ‘TIRED OF THIS WOKE MINDSET THAT LEAVES THE WORKPLACE A
JOYLESS PLACE WHERE EVERYONE GETS OFFENDED SO EASILY’

A FORMER MICROSOFT EMPLOYEE WAS AMONG A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO REACHED OUT FOR
HELP AFTER THE POLITICIZATION OF HER WORKPLACE BECAME TOO OVERWHELMING AND MADE
HER JOB UNBEARABLE.

As a core part of her job, the woman, like the rest of her co-workers, was using
the popular messaging and conferencing application Teams, which is made by
Microsoft and allows users to customize certain features.



One day, she added an American flag in her background prior to a group meeting.
Immediately after, her manager reached out and told the woman she could not
display the American flag as a Teams background because it was triggering to
some of Microsoft’s employees. Moreover, her supervisor said the American flag
is a sign of white supremacy.

The woman, who is politically conservative, decided not to push back. She kept
her head down and self-censored a bit, thinking, I can live with this.

The very next day, one of her other colleagues switched their Teams background
to an image of a black man being lynched, with the subtitle “A good man died at
your hands today.” Not only was that photo depicting the horrific death of a
black man allowed to remain, she says it was actually celebrated by Microsoft.

She said to herself, “Okay, that’s the last straw. I’m out of here,” recounted
Andrew Crapuchettes, CEO of RedBalloon, who was contacted by the woman to help
secure new employment.

“That’s unfortunately one of many stories we get to hear at RedBalloon of people
who are just fed up with crazy,” Crapuchettes told Timcast News during an
interview. “And I mean, that’s flat out crazy.”

RedBalloon, a self-described “non-woke” job board founded in 2021, is now a
front line fighter in America’s culture war, working with thousands of other
companies which all vow to respect the concept of freedom, not institute vaccine
mandates, and not allow political ideology into their workplaces as a condition
of being affiliated with RedBalloon.







One 0f the most visible symbols of corporate brand destruction over straying too
far into the realm of political and cultural grandstanding is America’s former
number one beer, Bud Light, which partnered with a transgender social media
influencer this spring.

After controversy ensued because, in part, the company explicitly targeted
children, Americans upset over the brand spotlighting transgenderism instead of
just selling beer launched a nationwide boycott that tanked the company’s bottom
line.

By the end of May, sales plunged nearly 25 percent, and Anheuser-Busch, Bud
Light’s parent company, lost roughly $27 billion in market value. As of July 31,
distributors are saying they stand no chance at luring back customers who fled
following the campaign with the transgender influencer.

Anheuser-Busch is now planning to lay off about 350 employees as the company
grapples with the sustained boycott.

RedBalloon recently announced a partnership with PublicSQ to help facilitate
employment for job seekers impacted by Bud Light’s decision making.







But while RedBalloon is seeing a number of Bud light employees contact them, as
Crapuchettes explained, not all are a good fit because they don’t all want a
pro-freedom company — “They just happen to be caught in the crosshairs of that
woke world.”

He said, “Many of them are deeply affected by the company’s decision to leave
their customer base behind and try to appeal to something else.”

Former Google and Amazon employees also make up a large number of the
individuals going through RedBalloon to try and find new employers “because
they’re tired of this woke mindset that leaves the workplace a joyless place
where everyone gets offended so easily,” Crapuchettes added.

Having been subjected to navigating politically correct waters eight to ten
hours per day, along with mandatory coursework in microaggression and DEI
(diversity, equity, and inclusion) training, job seekers have told RedBalloon
that they didn’t realize until they left what an impact the company’s policies
had on their outlook on life.



Though the company has only been in business for two years, business is booming
and RedBalloon is working diligently to provide opportunities to quality
individuals who need jobs.

“We’re actually reaching out actively to the thousand employers that we have on
RedBalloon to make sure that they’re aware that these talented people are now on
the market,” Crapuchettes said. “If we want to be able to build businesses in
this freedom economy specifically, then we need the right people who are going
to focus on hard work, believe in capitalism, and believe in what made America
great in the first place. So, we’ve been able to help and it’s been really fun
to be able to be part of that.”
