Just need to make an “ok bitch” emoji.

Problem solved.

thumbs up is less than 5 years from becoming the OK sign

That person is a sensitive bitch.

I will say though, I use the thumbs up for sarcasm... regularly. Luckily my friends aren't a bunch of pussies.

There’s no telling how many folks I’ve unintentionally offended over the years. Where can I get a copy of the new rules book?

Evidently hurting a Zoomers feelings is now assault.

As I've moved to MGMT and had less and less time, I thumbs up more. They aren't wrong it's less personable, but I also make it a point to talk to my employees and give them real feedback on projects as well. If you're a new hire starting out and all you get is thumbs up, yeah I'd be pissed too.

I cannot imagine a job where I just messaged back and forth with coworkers all day over Microsoft Teams. Sounds awful.

The most profound proof you will ever need that, despite what you see on social media, we currently live in the safest most prosperous times in history - is the creation of the “micro aggression”.

What does this mean?

Chances are they used it in a sarcastic manner over the years, and in the quick response culture of quickly saying I agree, approving things…everyone else uses thumbs up

Because we are now a society of people that love to cater to the loud minority because we have to tip toe through life to ensure that we don’t hurt anyone’s feelings and that everyone likes us

Always has been. They used to write to Letters to the Editor in newspapers. Now social media has given them, and everyone, a voice ti reach every corner of the globe.

I don't know what's worse, people who write this stuff or people who bring it to everyone's attention. "Look! Look what this one, anonymous person wrote! They are trying to cancel everything!!".

They are offended now you are offended. Just ignore it and move on. It has no bearing on your life whatsoever.
