Mine does not, but then around here we have anti-bullying, anti-harassment and anti-discrimination laws so these things are penal matters, not merely contract breaches.

Do you believe there are legal things you could do outside of work that would get you fired?

  Maybe, but they’d need to prove that it has an effect on how I do my job. They cannot just fire me because I say something they don’t like.

    Most places hire "at will" and can fire anyone for any reason or no reason unless prohibited by law.

CoC is not a contract. It's a non-binding promise that the project leadership will take actions up to banning someone if harassment happens.

  The whole point of it is that there are consequences if you breach it, otherwise it is almost entirely pointless.
  - iudqnolq 3y ago
    yes but the consequences are decided by normal humans via the organization's normal decision-making procedures. The legal system isn't involved.
    - kergonath 3y ago
      Right, but the legal system gets involved in cases of wrongful termination of contract or if the code enforcement itself leads to discrimination, harassment, or other issues.
