At least the threats that menaced Great Uncle George as he worked were visible in plain sight. As you note, we don't have that luxury in post-post-modernity (or whatever fancy name the professors have assigned to this era). The dangers in a typical white collar office are often camouflaged.

Not only camouflaged but we're also gaslit into believing there's nothing wrong and anything that harms us is our own fault.

YES! As in: "Well surely you must have seen the axe about to fall" etc etc.
