Am I wrong to think it is inappropriate to have politics playing on the TVs in our office? Specifically, Fox News on every television, in the reception area, throughout the office…

It would piss me off too, they could play a non-partied news station. Fox News is known trash. I’d rather they play Jerry Springer reruns all day.

Why does it bother you? You don’t own the office or pay any of the bills there. Unless it’s playing in your work area and you can’t focus because of noise, just get over it

Everyone has the right to a voice. And to have their own opinions. However, I find it extremely inappropriate to have specifically politic-related news openly in the office.

Same in our office. I don’t care about what’s playing on the TVs.

As I said… I do not think politics are appropriate in the office. I simply noted that in my office, specifically, it is Fox News. I didn’t say “I wish they’d play what I want to hear”

You mean you don't like watching white male rage coming from Fox News?

It's called freedom of speech, if you don't like it don't listen, it's that simple! You are at work; you should focus on that and not what is going on around you. That is what is one of problems in a corporate office lately, people paying attention to other people's likes or dislikes, or what may offend them instead of being productive. We are not a communist country, although I think many would like it to be, especially those who are uneducated or have not experienced first-hand what communism really is!!!

How can they focus if the TVs are on all day. Why? Whose bright idea was that? Be better off playing Muzak.

Perhaps ask them to turn the closed captioning on & the sound off as a compromise.

I did it! I got an in-house Paralegal position after years of working and being burned out at different law firms. I was going to leave the legal field all together because I was so burned out and depressed, but I decided to give the field one more chance if I was able to go in-house. Prayerfully, this transition will be a good one.
