And no one is dictating what sarcasm you employ in private conversations.

Whereas companies have always restricted what sort of language you use within company property.

For example, until very recently, just using emojis could have been a firing offense.

Worked for two dozen companies over past two decades, never heard of it.

I recommend a private Slack team (or similar, a Signal group works too) for out of band communications with colleagues you trust. Keep corporate communications to only what’s necessary to get work done.
