What possible benefit could result from this blatant fascist scare tactic? I just can't understand why companies so frequently treat their employees like criminals.

Fascism in the Workplace 

@mawr I'm not saying I grew up war-dialling in the 80s, gracious no. I was a good kid, never did anything untoward. Wouldn't want to imply otherwards!

... I'm just saying *some* people once might have considered such boilerplate the equivalent of a starter's pistol going off. n.n

(mmm, surprisingly warm fuzzies from this, actually. Not why you shared it, but Young Me thanks you for the reminder.)

((er. of who we weren't, of course.))
