As someone in management, I'm a big fan of this sub. It helps me keep perspective and do what I can to prevent creating a hellhole workplace. I hope my question here is allowed.
We have a lot of military veterans and gamers at our tech-industry company. One employee has a fantasy painting of a weapon from a videogame in their cubicle. It's visible to others who might pass by. There is no depiction of violence, no context. My colleagues in the profession see nothing wrong with it and see it as artwork, and there have been no hostile or violent interactions with the owner of the art. In fact, most people characterize the owner of the artwork as very warm and kind. There are no complaints against them.
My question to ya'll… because there is no threat and no depiction of violence, and no negative interactions… that it's just artistic expression… we want to keep the issues the issues and not make the workplace a place where everyone has to walk on eggshells. I'm just looking for a “reasonable person” review and couldn't think of a better place to ask 🙂
