I often hear about this stuff but I have never seen it myself. Do people really ostracize others for saying a sentence they don’t like? I can see it if somebody constantly says stupid or offensive things but not for a few mistakes (are they even mistakes?).

I can't vouch for ostracism specifically, but we just had someone at our company add a Slack bot to correct anyone who says the word "guys", and let me tell you I did not feel like it would be appropriate to complain.

With everyone remote HR has sadly discovered a sudden love of policing slack.

I saw another engineer get hit for talking about triggering a job since "using triggering improperly downplays the trauma of survivors".

Not sure what that means other than it is time to set the LinkedIn status to looking.

This is nuts. Where is this? Silicon Valley?

Meh, I don't think it's something you should look to change jobs based on. People get weird when they're stressed, and the whole world's pretty stressed right now.

In the height of outrage culture and "safe spaces," yes -- this is a real thing, and yes, "safe spaces" are growing to encroach on your workplace and home soon!

Watch what you say citizen, only those on the highest of horses are allowed to express themselves how they please.

Yes this isn't like using the "N in the wood pile" quote which is obviously offensive
