It never ceases to amaze me at the divirsity of people who are in IT, as well as the diverse amount of silly additions to a non-descriminatory policy a company has.
One just passed by my desk this morning and in it it had race, creed, color, etc, but there was one thing that puzzled me that I had to call the contracting companies HR on. This one was company loyalty. After I got done laughing at it, and once called their HR, they said that because of the high turnover they put that in there because they have a problem with company loyalty.
Which stumped me even further, since this company is much like an escort service setup where they have a client that needs the service and they send the appropriate person to fill the job, and they pay the person to perform the services. But if they do not treat their people right, the employees go to other escort services. The same is true to a degree with temporary companies. But this disturbed me.
How can employee loyalty to the company be considered a point of harassment? I have seen many of the companies treat their people like cattle, cutting their pay, reducing their benefits, replacing a good worker who may be overpaid for an incompetent one at a reduced payscale, but this stumps me to the fullest.
Which leads me to question ? should loyalty be part of any kind of harassment doctrine?
