Silicon Valley made some attempts at this, but a lot of it was Bay Area insider type stuff less accessible to the average viewer. It mocked woke tech, and dumb capital, but not really woke capital (rather positing borderline woke critiques of venture capital).
But it is kinda strange that the two best examples of mockery of contemporary professional class life that I can think of were done by the same guy, Mike Judge, almost 20 years apart.
Yup, just more virtue signaling, without the actual performed virtue. I'm amazed more people haven't snapped out of it, especially over the last couple years. I'm reminded of Linkedin—one empty facade.
I suspect some of the woke culture True Believers are uncomfortable with the idea that their ideology could be coopted for corporate or personal advancement. Any representation of this would be a sort of recognition that not all professions of this sort of piety are real, and would take away from the supposed profundity of these beliefs. A sort of blasphemy.

I did think of Silicon Valley but I hadn’t seen it. Exception that proves the rule I guess
