Pretty common at the workplace.

I miss the days where the worst thing anybody did at work was tell too many fart jokes and maybe got a coaching from HR because Karen from accounting is a stuck up bitch and told.

Now, everybody has to be some political or social justice hero. I'm there to do my job and go home. If I worried about every single bad thing that happens in the world, I'd be a nervous unproductive wreck.

Yeah because standing up against genocide is such a political social justice hero thing to do.

Think before you speak next time.
