    Fun fact. My workplace added recycle bins to the breakroom a few years ago. The day after, HR had to call a facility-wide emergency meeting to explain that their use was voluntary only and that no workers would be required to use them.

    Grown ass adults lost their shit because they saw a recycle bin.

        Yes, I am serious. Folks around here can be aggressively reactionary and will blow up over nothing (or what should be nothing).

        I moved to this area about 12 years ago. I wasn't expecting some huge culture shock, but there it was. I had educated, millennial colleagues who were openly homophobic at work. I could go on with a list of grievances, but it just feels like piling on and I don't have the option to get out.
