So there was some dude on Tiktok who recounted a story about working as a fireman and the station developed a mascot and made it an anthropomorphic animal that was dressed in a fireman's uniform and all that. Everyone really liked it and he was the only person who spoke up and said "Yo, that's a furry mascot!" and had to explain it to the boss, so they changed the mascot.

I'm mischievous as fuck and I can hold a straight face. My ass 100% would have just gone with it if I was in his place, not breathing a word about this, because of the opportunity for endless situational comedy that it would provide me. When the timing was perfect I would have suggested to the boss that we need to crowdfund getting a suit made of the mascot so different members of the team can wear it for community events.
