i dont want to know what my coworkers fetish preferences are in exactly the same way that i dont want to know about the way they vote or what gods they worship or how they make love to their wife i just want them to be good at shipping code and responding to emails

the norm set im proposing is the following. 1. dont bring your sexual, religious, or political life to work. if you find a way to do so without offending great but doing so is assuming a risk on your part 1b. this is not saying: "dont reveal im married to a man/woman/whatever,"

i dont think thats reasonable. rather its "leave the specifics of your sexual life outside" 2. do whatever you want outside of work but /don't bring your employer into it/. dont become a problem for your employer, idiot dont put your employer in your bio on twitter dot com

3. if your employer gets tagged in spite of your having followed rules (1) and (2) theyre not even obliged to comment. "off hours. not related to shipping code. not our business" this is actually beneficial to employers who dont want to have to deal with this shit

all of this is similar to Dont Ask Dont Tell except its a content neutral policy, and its oriented toward *not* firing people rather than firing people it nicely permits both freedom and efficiency at the cost of not bringing your Whole Self to work which i think is bad anyway

i can't believe "bring your whole self to work" is a meme that has any traction at all. it's blatantly obviously incompatible with the possibility of getting fired

"bring your whole self to work" + "btw your whole self has to look like this or you're fired" is what we call a double bind and it's bad 😤

It's the worst of the four but might have the best ideas since the first one. It just doesn't really do anything interesting with them.
