Until the election is over, turning the break room TV to Fox, CNN, MSNBC, or anything similar is considered an HR violation.

Can still tune into things like The View, ESPN, and such.

I mean banning it is definitely a step too far but it's all toxic bullshit anyways

my reaction would be "nothing of value, etc."

That owns and is such a good policy. I wish the red state hospitals I worked in had that rule.

If it were bringing up needless and aggressive political arguments, then I could see why.

A policy like this typically only happens if it gets provoked.

The Kavanaugh hearing was on most of today and there were probably some complaints about how the breakroom was nothing but rape testimony.

That's a really good policy.

Though it's hilarious how many people are saying "it's good because it'd mean I don't have to hear news I don't like".

I wouldn't advocate for it or protest against it though

It's in the break room. I don't work in the break room.

I guess technically I could take my laptop to the breakroom and work there with the TV in the background but the only time I've ever seen anyone doing that is during the World Cups / olympics.

I can watch it while I'm eating lunch in the break room, though. And even when I'm not there the TV is still on.

Careful, that sounds kind of racist. Why is the fact that the workplaces were majority white relevant?
