That was excellent. Thank you. This enforcement of a code of conduct that all must follow has left people in the workplace looking silently scared. Afraid that they might do something deemed unprofessional or inappropriate.
In some workplaces it’s gotten so bad that training of new employees is effectively shut down. People cannot communicate as they would naturally, restricted to a vernacular that no one really uses in every day life outside the workplace.
The simple act of getting to know your coworkers is now unprofessional in certain very uptight circles.
