They tried to teach us at work today, but it didn't seem like something to worry about. They said a micro aggression is something that be intentional or unintentional that makes the other person perceive as negative towards their race, gender, whatever

The example given was "I didn't think you would have done so well on the project you did! Good job."

Being a dick is something that can be clearly observed, quantified, and dealt with. Microagressions are anything to anyone and hover over your head like the Sword of Damocles forever.

There is no such thing as a micro-aggression. It's just SJW's making up words.

microaggression is just a word used by sensitive mentally ill people that perceive the world is out to hurt them.

Affirmative action is a microaggresion because it implies minorities are not talented or skilled enough to get hired by large corporations without having quotas to legally fill.

There's not much difference except for the topic of dickery. How difficult can it be to not belittle someone's race/gender/ethnicity/origin etc, no matter how subtle or clever one thinks they are?

Examples of microaggressions:

Whistling and staring when a girl walks by
Not whistling and staring when a girl walks by
Slouching
Standing up straight
Having your legs not touching when sitting
Using the handrail when walking downstairs
Being a male

Sounds like they just gave "passive aggressive" a more modern name.
