Cdub100 3,383 Posted March 22, 2019 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
