Disagreement
The Register's running a story about Alex Hanff, who was fired by Aldcliffe Computer Systems for declaring, "that he is opposed to copyright and intellectual property laws." The employer concluded, "Since much of our business is based around the protection of our copyright and intellectual property, we consider our dismissal of Mr Hanff entirely justified and appropriate."
Huh? If I express views in public that are contrary to those of my employer, my employer reserves the right to can me. Now that's incentive for strategic alignment, right?
If you're an employer, do you believe that sort of strategic alignment is good for your business? Do you believe when workers kiss your butt it keeps them motivated, making them more productive?
You may have a more attractive butt than most of us, but I nevertheless tend to disagree.
