This isn’t something they’re planning to do; it’s already been done in practice in high-tech companies. Likewise, terms like blacklist, post mortem, and others have also been dropped. Instead of master and slave they use primary and secondary. Technology veterans notice the lack of precision here (there was a period when the terms were used in parallel with other meanings), but that’s the situation and you can get used to it. By the same token, no one today says “outhouse” or “restroom” in the old sense, and I assume that doesn’t bother anyone.

Let us know when they cancel the terminology: company owners – company employees.
In the meantime, by removing words and concepts from the language, they’re trying to make workers forget that they’re not all that different from slaves, much as they want to think otherwise.

Even the default branch in git (super popular) was changed from master to main. Sometimes, in light of the sensitivity spreading through the world, I wonder whether my own attitude of being largely indifferent to group-based offenses is genuine, or perhaps a repression mechanism, or perhaps genuine but negative (a dead person feels nothing from the worms), or perhaps I’ve simply been lucky not to be descended from groups that are categorized under a particularly negative stereotype (all in all, an ordinary Sephardic Jew), or perhaps because I have other privileges that compensate for it (or a few other ideas).
