It's also easy to give a flip response like 'find another job'. I LIKE my job, I LIKE my company. They're one of the largest corporations on the face of the planet, and they treat their people well. I have a responsible position and am good at what I do. I have no desire to leave it.

Good for you. But if they start a policy you don't like and you can't effect change through the proper processes, then you shouldn't bitch. The company is not there to make you happy. It's there to make money for its shareholders.

I also reserve the right to NOT play along with the PC nonsense that occasionally gets passed down. Here's a clue: most don't play along. They give it a surly "yeah yeah; right", then press on doing their jobs. I have the luxury of doing just that.

Then all the better for you. But that doesn't change the fact you work at their pleasure, and they can require anything of you they please. Sure, it may be a bad move on their part in that it alienates key employees, but businesses shouldn't be protected from making bad decisions.

Fact is, a business should be run exactly as the owners wish it.

Not all do. It's grossly unfair, and if you believe that it is perfectly ok for a corporation to shove the latest gay-loving or other ultra-hip-PC crap down their employees' throats while, at the same time, you insist that employees check their beliefs at the door.......then God help you if you ever grow to be a large company.

I believe everyone should check their agendas at the door - gay, religious and whatever. It's a place of business, not a sewing circle. You don't like company policy, get a job elsewhere.

I wonder how your employees would feel if you publicly posted your stance on this by the water cooler.

They are all perfectly well aware of my position.

Let me put it this way. Would never work for a smug, self-important prick, either.
