We have had policy discussions in the past, but I always noticed that they tended to get out of hand.
When I managed my own store, I didn’t necessarily forbid it, but I made it clear that the second it impacted productivity it would be put to a halt immediately. Fortunately for productivity, there wasn’t a whole lot of political diversity. 90% of my employees were black democrats. I lean heavily right, but I also don’t discuss politics at work so it was never a big deal for me.
It never impacted productivity so it wasn’t a big deal for me.
Dude you know nothing about me other than that we disagree on pretty much everything.
I would seriously suggest you drop it. My history is one of very successful management and building my own business…So like I said this would be a good time to drop it.
And part of the beauty of our country is freedom. Freedom to fire your boss if you don’t like his rules. 1/3 of this company did exactly this. The system is working.
Ya being in the software industry these people are nuts if they were working for a fortune 100 company they would be lucky to be there in the first place and not immediately replaced with and Indian worker willing to do the same work for a 1/3rd of the pay without benefits.
I am afraid all of us agnostics and atheists wasn’t counting what would take the place of religion now we are beginning to see it over the past decade. Politics, of which select politicians are the deities praying on the alter of political correctness and to the goddess Intersectionality.
I’ve thought this for a while. Much of humanity has a need to follow, or believe in a higher cause. If religion is out of the public square, something else will replace it and not necessarily for the better.
Would eliminating the list of “funny names” have been an easier solution? That was very unprofessional, and, in some lines of work where confidentiality is an issue, may get one canned.
I agree with any company that wants issues like diversity discussed off the clock. The non-discrimination clause should work just fine.
Why disrupt any company’s primary purpose to discuss social issues? It’s distracting and takes away from time needed for the job at hand.
I actually got pulled off the floor, with a lot of work to be done, to complete diversity training.
“Management wants it, and you’re almost at the deadline.”
Have actually had training that was more relevant to safety and other concerns that was deadline approaching, and except for email, nobody said anything.
Is there now a new class of emergency? A diversity emergency?
