Reported to H.R. for Saying Merry Christmas

This is how bad it has gotten.  You could trigger someone, and maybe get reported to your boss, for saying Merry Christmas.
*****************************************************
During an appearance on “Conan” Wednesday, the comedian claimed that last year, when she was working on an unspecified television show, she uttered a single “merry Christmas” and was reprimanded months later by the show’s human resources department.
“Last year ― I was working on a TV show ― [and I] got in trouble with human resources for saying ‘merry Christmas’ to an intern,” Cummings told host Conan O’Brien.
“I was leaving, like on the 18th ... and I was like, ‘Bye, guys. Merry Christmas.’ Like just a formality, what you would say,” she went on. “I come back, like, June 6th. HR calls me and they’re like, ‘Hey, we need to talk to you. One of the interns is pissed off that you said merry Christmas.’”
Although Cummings said she meant it more as a “formality” than anything else, O’Brien argued that “in these times we’re in, that could trigger someone or offend them if it’s not their holiday.”
