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.

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.
