10 years ago, you'd probably get away with a mild scolding from HR. In 2026, they straight up just fire you on the spot, and make sure you're blacklisted from the industry on top of it. Then they make it clear that if you ever try to push back and go public, they'll sue you over false allegations, which will pretty much ruin your lfie.

People watch the Chernobyl HBO show and think about how ridiculous it is that the USSR's inner workings led to the disaster and its aftermath, imagining such things could never happen in western culture. Well, there we are 40 years later, and the entertainment industry has devolved into the same exact format. Everyone is just a cog in the Party machine. There's no room for independent thoughts, diversity of opinion or disagreement. People just get indoctrinated, and those who don't learn to keep their mouths shut or lie on a daily basis, knowing full well what will happen if they speak up. That's the woke dystopia we live in.
