petty stuff

"Jake, as I indicated earlier when I was asked about that, I'm not going to deal with that kind of petty stuff," Tillerson said. "I mean, this is a town that seems to relish in gossip, rumor and innuendo. And they feed on it. They feed on it in a very destructive way. I don't work that way and I don't feel that way."

Pro-petty

Verbal throat punch to one or many in a professional setting that allows you to keep your job. Similar to a professional "mic drop". Not rude or disrespectful however it lets them know "don't come for me".
I had to go pro-petty on my boss when our policies were questioned and they pointed the finger at me. Per your last email (see attachments 1, 2, and 3) we used your guidance to develop our current office policies. See right there where you signed off?

A petty hypocrite is someone who joins in the fun until its no longer fun for them , then the tables turn and they are left on the outside and decide to post a bunch of nonsense on social media or talk in social scenes making them look like the victim, or that they are better off ..
Hey look Shelia and Greg are inviting other people into their "fun", but Greg fell for the other woman and no one wants Shelia so she is all over social media posting how humiliated she is.. for pity.. Shelia is such a petty hypocrite
