Dysfunctional is a judgement. Labeling something as bad, wrong, dysfunctional, etc. is a good indicator of getting triggered. The problem rarely resides entirely externally. IMO, it's better for OP to explore their reaction to these conditions first since it probably won't be the last time they encounter them.
If you're actually in a dysfunctional environment, it's not being triggered to call a spade a spade. People are allowed to do that while keeping their cool and it's not impossible.
