  Does this include hr and medical benefits? The first and third are legitimate discussions with hr/benefits people and coworkers: where to get them, amount of coverage, vesting before full health insurance kicks in, coverage of travel costs based on job location, etc.

  It ain’t politics when medical issues appear. And a whole lotta people don’t like being treated like a child.

  Edit: to be fair, this policy should also ban discussions of religion, politics, guns, …. Would be simpler to list what can be discussed at a work site or on work devices.

  Good. Work should be about work. Keep those conversations on Facebook.

  Is there supposed to be controversy in this?
