Can you explain? On January 6 there was a man wearing a "Camp Auschwitz" hoodie with the word "staff" printed on the back, on national television. Do you believe this man is not a Nazi? And do you believe that Jewish people do not have a right to warn their coworkers to stay safe in light of people like this committing violent acts? I'm genuinely curious to understand what part you believe is political here, because it seems like the employee's message was entirely based in easily verifiable fact and genuine concern.

I just don't think a company Slack channel is the right place for this, when tensions are high people can get upset and offended and it just creates a bad work environment. There are time and place for things like this, not over a Slack channel. I don't know about any about that, I haven't been keeping up on the news

  This was in their DC slack channel. Do you honestly believe that employees should avoid talking about ongoing riots in their city in their city's slack channel? I genuinely cannot believe that you'd think that an event where five people died was not appropriate for discussion in a city chat, especially to warn people to stay safe. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-camp-auschwitz-shirt-photographed-u-s-capitol-riot-arrested-n1254070 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/man-camp-auschwitz-shir...

  > when tensions are high people can get upset and offended People were waving swastikas, wearing camp Auschwitz hoodies, storming the capital building and beating a police officer to death with an American flag. The problem here is not calling a spade a spade. If you're offended by being termed a Nazi that possibly don't be advertising yourself as one.

    … where "create a bad work environment" involves warning people there's a Nazi coup attempt in progress.
