Wokeforce 

The social justice oriented people who staff modern corporations, especially social media companies, startups, NGO’s and nonprofits. Includes a high percentage of people who do not do any of the organization’s core tasks, but rather perform staff roles in the offices of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, HR (“people team”), and media relations.
“Hey bro, did you hear how Elon Musk is cutting 80% of Twitter’s staff? He basically fired the entire wokeforce, none of them knew how to code anyway.”
1. Pushing the envelope, like Conan O'Brien.
