Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

I've got all my TSS stuff ready to go!
Where’s my colander? I need to get to work and spread the good news about being touched by His Noodley Appendage! Pastafarians, get out there and preach the good word to your fellow federal employees!
Ramen!
May pasta be with you.
And orzo be with you
Heretic! Unsanctioned noodles!
OPM issued the guidance to restore constitutional freedoms and enable feds to practice their religious practices without fear of retaliation, the agency said.
Fuck. You.
Does that include Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Satanists, and Wiccans?
What do you think
I guess that means all the atheists are also welcome to tell everyone that there is no such thing as God? I could get behind that. It would be an awful place to work though. Especially considering that has nothing to do with their job haha
Does nothing:
As an example of the new policy, OPM said that during a break one employee can engage another “in polite discussion of why his faith is correct and why the non-adherent should rethink his religious beliefs." The employee should stop if the “nonadherent” colleague asks him to, according to the guidance.
The guidance is not entirely a departure from existing federal policy. The Labor Department has for at least several years maintained guidance that suggests “employees who seek to proselytize in the workplace should cease doing so with respect to any individual who indicates that the communications are unwelcome.”
It was a problem before trump, it's still a problem now, but hopefully trump being a blatant ass about it makes people demand the next one actually fixes it.

I think the "non-adherent" should be given as much time to rebut the person bothering them in the first place. Something like, "hey ding-a-ling, here is why your book club is false and the one true way is the Church of the Subgenius because...."
My religion is FUCK OFF WITH YOUR RELIGION.
Can I proselytize that in the office?
Atheism is not a religion, therefore you get no rights or tax exemptions
Seriously, who has the time for this kind of shit on the job?
Also, can those who are targets of the proselytizing tell people doing the proselytizing where they can stick it?
Pray for their job?
I once had a guy that always hit me with "God Bless" and even said he was going to convert me. One time I said I was going to convert him to atheism. He never talked to me again.
Time to move my office to the top of a flight of stairs. If their god really wants me to convert, he'll stop me from sending his messengers on a gravity-assisted trip to ground level.
