Don't see how it's going to extremes. I sit at a table with 6 others and manage a team of 8, have followed this for years and enjoy constant conversations and have good relationships with all my co-workers. Maybe I just have a richer personal life than others, and have plenty of other things to talk about?

OK, sorry but this part... This was such a self-promoting bs. Richer life then others? You can't be serious! This is literally offensive to others. You just contradicted yourself right here. Good job!

  As crazy as it sounds, yes, it's possible to have positive interactions in professional settings without making jokes about people's race/religion/gender/appearance/etc. That's not being PC, that's literally just being a grown-up.

    Oh god, being a grownup. Yeah because grownups are immaculate. They never do or say anything stupid. If this were true we would live in a perfect world and we couldn't make any rape jokes, because rape as a crime wouldn't exist in the first place. From the article, who was the grown-up? The guy making a mistake by telling the rape joke and apologizing afterwords, or the lady who literally had a rage fit about the whole situation and ran directly to Tim Cook and because she didn't got her way left the company? So tell me then? Who was the grownup? And the comment I replied to? @daughart bragging about having a richer life and acting with a 'holier than thou' attitude? Literally being offensive! And lecturing us about how not to be offensive in an office environment? Really? I bet this is a fun person on parties. Also I would love to talk to that team of 8. Just asking them how fun it is to work together with a person like this.

Maybe I just have a richer personal life than others Sweet humblebrag, I'm glad you've found a "rich" life that also fits into SFW standards. I took your "etc" to mean anything potentially controversial. If you really can have fulfilling conversations on life, then I guess I'm alone having to balance things like risking microagressing the LDS members on my team because a "how was your weekend?" conversation might include the fact someone did some drinking.
