My workplace isn’t a complete and utter hive of
political correctness like so many major corporations today, but that’s sure not for lack of trying.
In our case the issue is economics rather
than ideology. It has been deemed insufficiently cost-effective to put a
dedicated Human Resources rep in what is really only a regional satellite
office, so instead we are PC-policed from over a thousand miles away. Which
means we aren’t, really.
That would be a nice benefit if we were
free to enjoy it. But we aren’t. Somehow, without any discussion of the
subject, we have managed to begin policing each other … for free.
