The fact that he didn't add a satire tag is proof that the Left is now capable of any horror.

Does anyone actually believe that the People's Democratic Republic of California in incapable of such madness?

That they haven't created a Socialist Utopia no longer means they won't try.

No. AB69 is actually the Global Warming Solutions Act, which might have the same effect, since once all the businesses are driven out of California, there will be no more bosses. Or employees.

Would have been more believable if it was listed as a San Fran local law and not a state law.

Nice try though.

Satire.

Although it is California... with that legislature, I’m surprised there’s not a requirement everyone in the workplace refer to each other as “comrade.”

As my first read of the morning, I am wondering if this is real. This fits with the Marxist Manifesto, in IT it fits with the Agile Manifesto and more recently Scrum, but in the real world?! I cannot think of a more ridiculous and I'll-thought through suggestion? And suggest it as law? I own my own company and I am legally the President/CEO. This lead and direct it. I am the manager, the person that, as dictator, makes decisions. It is my business, my money, my profit or loss. Someone doesn't like it, they can quit. If I don't like their work, I will fire them.

okay, to even discuss this proposed legislation is to give it more credibility than it deserves. The authors and supporters should be voted out of office, until then have any committee assignments revoked. As much as I have always liked California, here is another reason to visit and not live there.

The bill provides guidelines as to proper language.

Some of the suggestions are buddy, comrade, crony, compatriot, chum, confidante, friend, mate, colleague, or the ubiquitous guys.

Get your mind right.

Okay, gullible is me. I read everyone’s comments now that I jumped onto it. Guess time for some caffeine.

On a more serious note, my company teaches project management and last week I had a student in all seriousness tell me that many of the management and business terms were disrespectful. Vendor, was one example, which he said suggested oppressive relationship, equating, in his words, to telling people what to do as in if we put money in a vending machine to order M&Ms. This was in south Georgia, not California.

I’m thinking it’s satire - did a quick search and this article seems to be the sum of it from what I could see - but, in today’s loony bin, who knows anything anymore?

I hope you and others set him straight on the use of absurd Leftist Academic constructs in a business setting. Heck, I’d make a note of it in his personnel file and consider it a minor strike. At minimum, it is a coaching opportunity.

Oh, wait! I guess “coach” might be considered a newly prohibited term under this proposed law . . .

I’m just an IT guy in a factory but I’ve been noticing more and more softening of language in business overall. I’m all for being nice and civil which is how I like things but this feel good stuff are going too far.

One thing that has bothered me for years which is 99% in the media is the use of the word worker when employee would be better. To me worker most of the time implies having to labor and be grateful to live at all. Employee is voluntary and being more of a person if that makes any sense.

I avoid the word worker as much as possible. Sometimes it is applicable.

I knew it was satire because it left out one of the boss titles. It left out the one liberals would most like to eliminate. It left out “owner”.

For this satire they missed Grand Kahuna, Big Cheese and Big Banana.

I like "comrade."
