@JLeslie If the rule was I can’t say anything negative about Trump as a President and his policies I wouldn’t take the job. I’ll never be ok with being gagged regarding speaking out against the government and its officials.
There is a difference in speaking out against your employer, fraternity, family, etc. when shooting billiards in the privacy of a friend’s home, or at the backyard BBQ and another if you are debating it in the salon or barber shop, or on a street corner in public where you can get caught saying derogatory things on a cell phone, don’t you think?
If you were out of a job for a season and your home was at stake you would rather go homeless or make way less flipping a burger just because you could not badmouth Trump?
Wow. I can’t believe they require that sort of promise. That’s awful.
Why is that? If you are supposed to be down for the party and you go vote a libertarian to an office you are not helping the cause. That is like working Detroit but badmouthing US made cars and only driving Asian cars, those you work with and those higher up can’t trust your loyalty 100% because your actions are not 100% in favor of the company. People do not want to be represented by people not appearing to be 100% behind them, if they can influence it. The guards the The Tomb of The Unknown, can’t cuss, can’t drink, can do drugs, etc. even on their own time, if they get caught, (The Michael Phelps bong in hand Twitter, etc.) they can be dismissed, terminated from the coveted Tomb duty.
@Zaku Also those kind of provisions should be illegal.
The government does similar and it is not illegal, read above.
@Aster I’d rather live under a bridge and eat out of dumpsters. In minus 25 degrees.
Really? Have you ever in live had to do that or even close? I know people who have lived in the streets, some are there today, some have HAD to eat from a dumpster all of the time hoping they don’t get sick, or hoping they don’t freeze to death overnight and the weather was still above zero. They certainly are not in the severe state you spoke of and they do not care to be there, I think if you actually have to do it, your callousness would change faster than a rocket ship on rails.
@elbanditoroso What you’re asking, @Hypocrisy_Central , is “how much of a whore are you?”.
None at all, seeing I care not for the Party of Twiddle Dee (DNC) or the Party of Twiddle Dumb (GOP) for me to not badmouth either if my personal dispensation would increase exponentially is more reasonably than to suffer because of some Klingon, gangbanger sense of honor. Be it a sports team, entertainer, government party, none are putting fuel in my vehicle or meat on my table, so what would it profit me to be able to badmouth one who is not doing that while talking up the other who is not doing it either? If they want to pay me to tout their wears, that might be something to speak of. Not saying anything in public is one matter, being made to say something in support of them is another matter altogether.
Some people will take the money and sell out.
Some will practically take the money, stack it up for a nice nest egg, and keep their private opinions to themselves and voice what they think once they are no longer employed there. They will then drive by those swimming in debt or eating from dumpster behind Klingon-like pride; all the “death before dishonor” BS. If Jezebel Hillary had won and I was offered a cushy job in her administration and all I had to do was keep my mouth shut and do my work but I did not have to loud it from the mountain tops or in public, where is my check.
