I agree, but then I started thinking "why the hell do I think it's so reasonable for a corporation to strip away the humanity of its employees" and I'm not sure where I've landed now.
"strip away the humanity"
I'm dead. That's got to be the greatest use of hyperbole I've seen in a long time. Bravo, sir. Bravo.
It's not just a corporate thing, police, military, and fire brigade aren't allowed to wear overt political badging either.
There's a general rule that if you work for an organisation which asks you to wear a work related uniform of some kind, you don't get to add anything to it, political or otherwise. You don't see bobbies with a Pink Floyd sticker on their chest.
