After coming back from lunch today, we had an ALL HANDS ON DECK EMERGENCY OMGWTFBBQ alert from HR.
The company I work for, previously, had no firearms policy. Silence is often golden. We received a few new people in the HR department after some semblance of transition(s). This new policy, obviously copied from the handbook of a much larger company was emailed to every employee and required a personal signature from every employee from part time employees to full time management.
I read it and signed it... the signature required reading of the document, not compliance... with the following warning.
1. If you have firearms in your car, you will not discuss it with anyone.
2. By bringing in briefcases, purses, packages or boxes you are automatically waiving your rights to retain them during a search and seizure by human resources. (AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
3. Bring a gun to work, get fired.
4. Unless the Governor declares a state of emergency, all previous rules apply. (????)
5. A license to carry does not supersede company's policy.
The reasoning... of course... is prevent any DANGER to fellow employees and members.
If anyone one of our institutions are breached by security and robberies are in progress, for your safety you are asked not to go to your car or defend yourself. <--- This was literally in the 'moral code and contract' of our company.
This was my expectation as to what companygroupthink has become, I'm just sad to see my company as the latest one to fall prey to it.
