content: My coworker wrote a guide to call out "offensive" language in the workplace chat room One of my coworkers in tech is a recent college graduate. That coworker is working hard. Building the greatest software. Here is something that coworker made: a how-to for people to flag “offensive” words and language in the workplace chat room. Another coworker celebrated that “work” and called on others to praise the hard-working coworker, suggesting that was such an important manual. This is the corporate tech world we live in where people are afraid of being offended in the workplace chat room, so they have to put in place some sort of censorship filter where they can feel comfortable anything offensive will not be seen by their eyes. How can such fragile people who never grow up build the world’s greatest software? This is the new paradigm. Isn’t that coworker who wrote the guidelines awesome? Our future looks so bright. So much progress ahead.
