Company policy

Staff Alumnus
Just got a friendly heads-up from a co-worker that my sebenza probably violates company oplicy against "objects that could be used to hurt co-workers".

Guess they forgot to remove pitchers of hot coffee and sharp pencils...

All they have accomplishd is making me carry a leatherman openly and sebenza hidden...
 
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>company policy against "objects that could be used to hurt co-workers".[/quote] Does that include razor-sharp wit? ;)
 
Frankly, any of my employees that showed up at work with a Sebenza, especially a decorated Sebenza, would get a promotion and raise for superior intellect AND good taste. :)
 
More stupid focus on inanimate objects vs. undesirable behavior.

There are few things of reasonable size (i.e. most anything one can pick up), that couldn't be used to inflcit harm. After that, if one could lift the person, large objects can be used as an anvil to bounce them off of to inflict harm (i.e. beat them on the object).

How stupid shall we get with this? Here's their sign. M2
 
Sounds familiar. The outfit I work for is also placing a taboo status on edged items as personal carry while on the premesis.

That includes if your there while OFF duty as well.

My response to that was to order a SOG folder with carrying sheath, from jensen Tools, on the company tab(Ha Ha Ha).

As of yet, I haven't been ratted on, or found out. I just resent the hell out of some pencil neck telling me I don't, or I can't.

Best Regards,
Don

A sebenza is a type of knife. Look at http://www.chrisreeve.com/sebenza.html if you want to see one darn fine sebenza.

I don't even carry a pocket knife at work since the "safe schools" act came into being. Kinda stoopid that the woodshop teacher can't have a pen knife to remove glue or splinters.
 
I work on a private airport that was a marine
base , I found the old pistol range and ask the airport manager if some of the guys could fix it up and use it.
He agreed and thought it was a great idea , so
we went to work on it a now have a great place to shoot during lunch and after work ,
but here is the kicker my company does not allow guns on there property , so we invited the owner out with us and he had a
great time .
After he was finished shooting we ask him about the rule and he had it changed to no guns in the hanger , so the guys can keep
them in there lockers now .
Every now and then we win a small battle.
 
Mendocino:
You're not in GA, are you? I know a fairly bright Customer Care supervisor who'd like to know that carrying his PDF or Spyderco won't get him the boot. :)
 
Yep, Oleg. Seems your company's policy must force them to use chalk & chalkboards instead of pens, pencils, & paper, and cold drinks only. I feel that it's your duty as a responsible concerned employee to urge your superiors to enforce this policy strictly. Tell them you feel vulnerable and endangered by the scalding hot "beverage of pain and disfigurement" in the coffee pot, and the many "assasin's puncture eye-picks of death" in people's desks.

I have never owned a decent knife...until TFL members chipped in and bought me this beauty for tenth anniversary of arrival to the United States. I carry it in a black nylon sheath and usually it is covered by my sweater. I wore a shorter sweater today and the sheath showed.
I have not been without this tool since I got it, even though I use it infrequently. I have a sentimental attachment to it and company policy will have to suffer.

Guess I better not mention that Bren .303 in my desk or the PIAT in the trunk, eh?

Not that it matters, but I am angry now.

Randall Shaw, Anecdotes like yours always make me feel positive.
Oleg, your profile states your profession as "armed optimist". For a second I thought I read 'armed optometrist'. :) Many employers require folks to work with sharp objects. You should be allowed to posess as many as you choose. Sweet knife BTW.
 
Spectre,

Not GA, the People's Republic Of Northern California. However, I will move the business to Northern Idaho in 24 months, and will need a Customer Care Rep. for HI, AK, CA, OR, WA, ID, NV, and MT.

The qualifications are simple: must be good with people, have good written and oral communications skills. The following skills are necessary for company off-sites: have a working knowlegde of handguns & pistolcraft, internal/external and terminal ballistics, riflecraft, subguns, edged and impact weapons.

;)

For a look at the future browse:

My company issues automatic weapon, impact weapons, requires annual weapons and semi-annual physical qualifcations and encourages it personel to discuss the best ways to hurt other.

God it is great to work for who I do,

PS: Mendocino I also need to be an expert on interior, transitional, exterior and terminal ballistics, a it is a must to have a working knowlegde of explosives, field craft, handguns, rifles, and unarmed combat.
 
STLRN,

Keep in mind those are my minimum qualifications. Preferred are entirely different. Oh yeah, there's no dress code...LOL ;)
 
You got me there, we have a very rigid dress and grooming code.
