This new statute/policy is really fucked. I work for a local government agency in the US. We have a union. Last week we just found out a new statute/policy was going into full enforcement. It basically states that no employee can vent, talk down about or complain about their working conditions, supervisors, or the city in any way, regardless if whether they are on the clock or not. Say if I was at home, on my day off, and I go onto Facebook and complain (never done that but I know some folks that do) about my employer not approving sick leave or vacation time and my boss, or someone that also works for my employer see that, all they have to do is file a complaint to HR and boom, investigation time. The union has fought this thing tooth and nail. What was going to be a fireable offense…
