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
This is such a major overreaction. You want to get someone fired for participating in a discussion of a harmless meme?
I've pushed people down the stairs for less.
Story time?
I'm known as the psycho stair striker in most of the continental US and Canada. I push racists down stairs. I will never be caught.
Yea, I fucking hate Silicon Valley tech bros, they're the worst people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and nobody here deserves to make more than 20% of their salaries, including me
Not from a labour value perspective but from a these people suck, their job provides net negative societal value and they don't deserve a wealthy life perspective
I'm been around here long enough to know these people will never have class solidarity even amongst their own tech kind

Yeah I kind of agree. Shitty thing to say, sure. Should you maybe file an antonymous complaint so it's at least documented in the case this becomes a pattern? Absolutely. Should you try to manufacturer bullshit to get the guy fired? What are you high?
Edit: wanted to mention I work with a lot of techbros and this is definitely a problem in the culture. But jerk reaction fireing like that only worsen the situation.
