So there’s a popular meme that got shared in my workplace titled “British Museum calls police to deal with stolen artifacts” over a photo of Jared from the hit HBO show Silicon Valley saying “I sense you’re doing something ironic”
The comments are filled with mostly Indian and Chinese nationals talking shit about the British Museum in a professional manner
Then a literal London office worker says “ITT: cope” and posts a photo of a British guy laughing with one of those old school giant white wigs on captioned “laughs in British”
The few (Silicon Valley) coworkers I shared this to don’t really seem to care but I’m not overreacting by wanting to try to get the (mostly useless, controlled opposition by the company) union to help me spread this everywhere internally and mass report him to HR right?
Like I’m normal right. I can’t fucking tell anymore I’ve been living in technocratic Hell for the last year
Have they been problematic in the past? Are they just “playing the role” of the British Empire by blatantly being a dickhead? You would understand the dynamic here better than me.
But my initial thought is it would suck to lose your livelihood by what might be a micro-aggression that they might not have even meant to do. I’d personally just make a mental note of it. But shooting the shit between co-workers is a tough reason to be fired.
Even shitty people (within reason) need to pay the bills.
If the person sucks otherwise, fuck’em.
This employer is global. The meme has 2.5k upvotes
Most of the commenters were spread around USA and the guy is from London
0 chance he’s joking around with friends
Based on his level he probably makes like 300k pounds in London
He’ll do fine if sacked lol
