Yeah it's an awful place to work unless you're a far-right bro. My old director used to use slurs and vape in the office. The founder hires pro gamers with no technical expertise because he thinks they're cool.

Don't get shy now. Which slurs?
Why are you trying to get someone to repeat slurs?
Because "slurs" is vague and covers a wide variety of utterances that run the gamut from unprofessional to unemployable and I had a tingle of Spidey sense that OP might have chosen the vague phrasing specifically to inflate the sins of the nameless Shopify director in the mind of the reader.
Which slurs are ok, and which aren't?
Great question. It's a vague term and a moving target that not everyone agrees on.
For instance, retarded is now considered a slur. If OP is saying "my director said the R word," then I would question whether OP spared the gory details out of concern for polite company or if they're being oblique in service of their point.
And if managers at Shopify are dropping N-bombs, I want to know that too.
I... guess that's possible? Summarization doesn't really seem suspicious to me.
Are you implying that vaping is far right?
I think that was part of the “bro” bit, not the far right bit
Sounded to me like they were saying people vape in the office, which would make a bad work environment on top of the far right bros.
