Complying with every little desire of every little dictator isn't something I find ethical.
My employer has a handbook that is routinely ignored by just about everyone unless it is being used to justify the dismissal of a real problem worker.Yet blatant violations of some sensible provisions are ignored because of the violators' "protected" class.
You misunderstand me. I wasn't suggesting that B4 comply. I was suggesting that he refuse to comply, openly. Big difference between continuing to carry even though you know it could cost you your job if you're found out, and telling your employer before hand that you refuse. I would choose the latter. Yes, I have huge issues with the former, because I have a choice. I can refuse and find another job.
The case of the Jews and those who covertly helped them in Nazi Germany fails to be analogous because they had no choice. There is no comparison between the struggle for survival against and evil armed oppressor, and an employer I can simply tell to color me gone and walk out the door unmolested.
