Bunch of snowflakes entering the industry maybe they’d prefer it if we all spoke like Mr. Humphreys in Are You Being Served,at all times.

But seriously as in all cases there is a time and a place and living among the WW2 generation,especially working in a factory,taught me to use the term very casually to the point where it becomes an instinctive part of the vocabulary,but even then still within limits.
Also think that it’s a misrepresentation to suggest that modern day excessive use of the term isn’t a general societal issue.Just compare the average modern day big movie dialogue with something from the 1950’s or 60’s.While it’s just as likely to hear such language from a banker at the wrong time in the wrong place as a truck driver.
