From the company's PoV you're correct. From the employee's PoV
I'm not convinced.
- godshatter 7y agoI must be old or something. To me, it's a simple question. Is my employer paying me to discuss politics or religion? If no, then I don't see why I should be using their time and their resources to do so.
- 2sk21 7y agoExactly - I have to work with _everyone_ in the company regardless of their beliefs. Its a lot easier to get my job done if I can remain in blissful ignorance of their possibly strong beliefs.
- helen___keller 7y agoMy employer isn't paying me to poop either but I make sure to do that every day ;) To be less glib, the level of acceptable discourse tends to be built into a companies culture. I've never seen a workplace with zero discourse on the outside world, and I doubt it exists. Companies like google clearly push the concept to its breaking point, though.
