    A few people I work with are huge Trump fans and with the news of taking over Greenland they are fully onboard with it and have been trying to find racial slurs for Greenland people. These people are mentally unstable and need to be removed from society.

      Look a lot of people online talk big game about how people should dump their partners or file labor abuses/lawsuits, etc. without any concept of what these things actually require from people. Chest pounding usually.

      However, if you actually have colleagues who are actively trying to drop slurs at work, you need to report that shit immediately.

          No point in going all cloak and dagger about it. Just go straight to HR and report them. Make them decide if they want that liability. Let them ruin their own lives.

          This isn’t about revenge, this is about not having to work in a hostile work environment. This is about you and your sane colleagues not having to put up with this shit on top of the shit you have to deal with at work. I have zero tolerance for this kind of stuff. somebody says something fucked up at work, they usually get one polite warning from me that I don’t wanna hear it again. After that I let HR or upper level management deal with it.

            Not every workplace has HR. And in many cases, the offender may be your superior.

            Cloak and dagger.

              HR or upper management

              You always have a boss. If not, then you’re the person who has to deal with this directly. They never said it was a superior, so we should operate under the assumption they aren’t reporting to this person.

        Agreed! Most if not everyone I’m working with is all talk and no action. For the most part I just quietly listen and laugh to myself. Let them have their own awareness of the situation when it’s far too late. Although I highly doubt they will ever become aware of how bad things are in this country.
