“Outside of office”
Part of this is that office has come home (literally when it comes to the current pandemic work situation). With tools like Slack and Teams “work” has come home more than ever. Of course, there are healthy ways to limit this but you can’t say work hasn’t fundamentally invaded our home space. Also factor in how much people work, where you spent 40+ hours a week (again, leaning towards more due to pandemic work situation) there isn’t much time for activism outside the office.
Pushing for their company to support social justice causes is the white, white-collar workers way of supporting these causes without inducing the level of discomfort of actually protesting.
And if you get fired for it, all the better. Sans NDA (which companies are making increasingly common) you have an excellent case for the social zeitgeist to support you on.
