Double Standard

[bladevalant546]

From my experience if all you do at work is talk about work and only work. That has very negative affects on productivity, I work for engineering firm as the IT department technician. I can tell you if I did not randomly talk about other things besidies work I would go postal.

With that said, what they did to you was a direct violation of typical workplace terms. While I advocate free speech in the work place, meaning I think politics and religion should be allowed to be discussed because as long as work is being done. I think there are certian rules and limiitations (definantely in customer service.), typically prothleytizing or being outwardly offensive. I am not and advocate of third party getting offended by idle talk (I think that is to picky) I think in terms of your situation it should be CALMLY reported. Remember be political, I would merely keep your explination as general as possible.

I think they were wrong in their approach to you, I have seen this various times on all philosophical views. It is a slipepry slope, just stay strong and remember your not as big a minority as you might think.
