I Had to remove my Trump calendar at work today

Recommended Posts

Boss came up to me today (black lady DD) and said it was a Hatch Act violation. Now that the president is officially running again it is against the hatch act.

The real reason is someone complained. My liberal co-worker (who is a white male) said I shouldn't have to take it down (he liked putting stupid lib talking points on a Post-It note and putting it in my calendar) and asked if someone complained. She is a terrible liar (too honest) and said she couldn't say.

So yeah, someone complained and used the hatch act against me. 

I took it down and thanked her for the heads up and helping me avoid a hatch act issue. I also said I ordered an official photo from GPO.gov and will have it framed and hung up on my wall. That way I am fully compliant with the hatch act. She tried to say I couldn't do that either but I showed her the regulation that said an official photo of the president is one of the two exceptions to the hatch act.

ETA - the calendar was a gift from one of my old employees after he left for a promotion.

Do you remember if anyone had Hillary stuff before the 2016 election?  How about Obama before 2012?

1. I work for the Army

2. He's the commander-in-chief. We have a photo hanging up in the office hall way.

3. There is nothing wrong with politics or religion just people who cannot handle it.

Actually since Hillary is not currently running for office it would be fine. Once/if she declares I would have to remove it.

Agree. Then pick AMY current candidate that does not have a conservative label....and it holds true.  "Approved" belief systems are the only allowable ones, if you have a different opinion you are setting yourself up for destruction.

You're not wrong... This was selective enforcement. I do remember seeing Obama photos on many of the black folks desk all throughout his presidency.

I find it funny if nothing else.

That would be kind of hard considering most of my job is reacting to policy. 

I agree with you when it comes to my side business.

It is humorous, to a point.  I would typically laugh at some stuff like that, but in recent years i see the rise of a violence on the left that makes this seem more sinister.

According to Wikipedia, Trump filed the paperwork to run in 2020 right after the inauguration, why be forced to take it down now?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_2020_presidential_campaign#Background

 

Per March 5th guidance from OSC because he finally hired a campaign manager and officially announced it that is why it can be enforced.

I guess filling doesn't matter.
