I recently watched the HBO show Enlightened (co-created/written by Mike White, of White Lotus fame), which is largely about an overly idealistic employee trying to steer her big evil corporate employer towards social change. Lots of parallels here re: naivety/surprise/outrage when this doesn't work out quite how she envisioned.

Interestingly, that show is from 2011!

While the whole "activist employee during business hours" thing feels like a far more recent phenomenon to me, apparently it's been happening for a while? Maybe it's just becoming more widespread lately.
