I created an extremely awkward silence at work when someone was like “are you all clapping at 7pm?” (Because there was a thing where people could clap and cheer for workers at 7pm?), and I said “if you really care, you could give them money. They need that more than claps”.
Silence.
These were all software developers working safely from home making six figures.
They’ll all be there with thoughts and prayers… and apparently claps.
I mean, I know that’s what “I” do whenever someone wants money from me… I’ll think about them, pray I’m never in that circumstance, and clap for them. Seems to help.
That’s sarcasm… for anyone instantly seething and spitting foam.
The awkward silence is because they know that clapping is not doing anything useful.
