You must have a terribly strict policy. Of course someone would really have to be gunning for you to get nailed for such an offense. That cover is no worse than any issue of Cosmo.

Where I work, you can get fired for reading Cosmo, or several other publications, including muscle/fitness magazines. National Geographic is on the "No, just in case" list.

We're one of the most conservative businesses in the world, and the largest business of its type in the country. Nothing that could potentially offend anyone in terms of skin, cleavage, shorts... Even to the point where shorts in summer and such are banned, and skirts must be knee-length, certain types of sheer fabrics utterly banned, etc. And our facility will never, ever have a customer inside... We only ever see each other.


The flip side is, we were one of the first companies to extend equal benefits to everyone. We have a comprehensive GLBT clause that makes couples and individuals in those situations considered no differently than straight couples in terms of medical insurance, 401K, etc. So its worth having to screen which issues of Dragon I can read at work.

Thank you edit function.

I feel very sorry for you. I would never work for such a restrictive company.

indeed. that's insane... fired for reading a supermarket bought magazine...

Please take pity on us older folks who no longer, for many reasons, get to work in a "cool" workplace. I agree with the poster who suggested the art, and it is, be inside the mag and not on the cover. We buy Dragon because of its content, not on a spur of the moment because it has a kewl cover. It is a great issue, by the way. Crunchy goodness, yum!

Heh. You would if you were unemployed for a year, had two kids, a mortgage, two cars loans, a student loan, multiple credit cards and all the burning desire to eat food. Luckily, I didn't have to, after the above situation happened to me...but I would have, if no other choice presented itself.

 

[Darrin Drader]

Nope. I have a mortgage, a child, two cars, two student loans, multiple credit card bills, my spouse is currently unemployed and I still would refuse to work for such a company, or encourage her to work for one. Sorry, but you have to stand up for your own humanity sometimes.

I'm not sure that being 'cool' is what we're talking about here. It's that being fired for reading a newsstand magazine is rediculous, regardless of age or coolness.

Hear! Hear!

What's a house, car, means to enjoy life with your wife, or food for your children compared to every man's RIGHT to read Dragon Magazine at work? Nice to see at least some people have their priorities squared away.

Reminds me of the old TV commercial where the guy is warming his hands in an alley with a bum and the bum asks him what happened and the guy says, "I had everything, fine house, expensive car, designer shorts, women."

The bum says, "So?" and the guy replies, "They wanted me to work Thursday nights. Thursday nights that's LA Law."

"And you gave all that up?"

"Wouldn't you?"

"You know, you could have taped it."
