Employer Prerogatives

25 August 2019

Is it OK (sic) for the boss to make employees mix business with politics?

In spite of threats of reprisal (in the form of boycott. divestiture, or sanction perhaps?) from established terror groups like GrabYourWallet® et al, employers are sticking to their guns. They’ll continue to kiss up to politicians by offering venues filled with enthusiastic PAID audiences. Responsible employees will continue to suck it up and accept the “easy” money, predicated only on their civil presence.

It is a comfort to learn that “legal experts” agree that employers have a right to use their resources as they wish, but in the ethical argument such learned opinions are irrelevant.

It’s very simple:
If you work at McGreasetrap’s® ya gotta wear the paper hat or ya gotta hit the door.
If you play for the Queen City Looters’n’Pillagers® and the coach says you stand for the national anthem, you stand or you walk.
If you take the boss’ money you do the boss’ bidding.
How complicated is that?
