To steal from the Instapundut, "1984" was a warning not a guidebook.

Looks like “they” are using it as both. So glad to be retired.

Investigate all candidates particularly young particularly female particularly minority for any social media hints of radicalism.

Quite frankly I would look for older more established mature candidates, As well as young conservative or apolitical applicants for employment. of course depending on the position lots of mature people have gone back to school now and would be less trouble in the workplace

So, so pleased to be a self-employed professional who can work from home. So, so much bullshit in the modern workplace.

Best positions I've ever had are the ones I didn't have to associate closely with co-workers.

Always felt this was happening during my last job. The animosity from the Uber-Left Manager was palpable. I’m sure this or something similar, is now being done at my former workplace.

Can it be any worse than working next to a raging feminazi? already convinced that men are brutes and waiting for an opportunity to get you fired or arrested, or both.
At least with Alexa, you can subpoena the recording and prove you’re not a Patriarchical Male Chauvinist Pig.

Feminism is a major aggression; not a micro.

I am SO Glad that I am only a year away from retirement.

If business doesn’t implement this voluntary they will be forced to do so by court rulings.

Once this out there the working environment will become so sterile that thx 138 will become reality.

People in the workplace will by; necessity become wooden, lifeless, antiseptic, drudgery.

Humorous banter will be illegal.

This would be acceptable to monitor a missile crew’s conversations at an ICBM launch site, but extreme overkill for workplace conversations. I’d pretty much quit if monitoring was put in place.

The crew I worked with would probably be jailed in today’s environment. LOL!

,br> I am not self-employed, but I get to work at home as do ALL my teammates. I communicate with them twice a day (audio only) for 15 minutes at a time. Once a member of the extended team started bashing Trump, and our team lead (an able woman leading an all male team) shut him down real fast. Unfortunately, I still have to watch dopey corporate PC videos.

Leftist women scare me. Groups of women locked into group think are terrifying. Each one goes farther than the other to agree with nutty, “compassionate,” nutty-nanny ideas to curry favor and establish pecking order credentials. Look at Warren. She’s daft.

Look at Sweden. Look at what is happening in Finland. Look at wherever these women take over. Germany is going the way of Sweden under Merkel and her gang.

I quit my last job because I had Chinese idiot overlords trying to track me on my phone from Los Angeles questioning where I was going and what I was doing
