Not the OP but: > How would your company have dealt with a "Trump/Pence 2016" laptop sticker? Presumably this would fall under the no politics rule. Remove it. It's a work laptop anyway. >What about a request to get time off to vote? Non-issue. Leaving to vote is not bringing your politics to work. > What if someone came to HR and said they felt they were being treated differently by their boss because they posted a news article that mentioned politics and religion in the team's Slack channel, and they think their boss considered that a sneaky attempt to circumvent your strict "no politics / no religion" rule? Nothing sneaky about it, posting in the teams Slack work be a clear violation of the rule. It's a work Slack channel.
