CDZ What can my boss make me do?

[Toronado3800]

Or better yet, what can I legally make my underlings do while at work?

Can I make you point to Mecca every afternoon?

Can I make them stand at attention when I walk by?

Can I make them address me as "your highness" or "exalted one"?

Can I require they genuflect every time they cross my POW/MIA banner?

Can I make them have moments of silence for each aborted fetus from today?

Can I make them draw pictures of each type of weapon used in a mass killing this decade?

Can I have them stand there for two minutes while I preach about how great the country is?

Can I hire a great singer to come sing my philosophy to them every morning and require each employee to take a submissive position?

If you put it in their job description

Really? I can hire people and indoctrinate them with whatever views I have?

This is a dangerous slope.

............Help me think through this......

I suppose if I run a reforestation company there will be tons of information sitting about stating trees are great and people need to expect to be exposed to it.

So essentially if Jerry Jones wants to run a political action committee which also plays football he can put it in their contracts I suppose.

Read that article yesterday.

He does point out it's pretty much covered in the Handbook

Well that makes me want to go change our new hire pamphlet.

In a way this is a terrible way of looking at things. For me there is a bit of a silver lining though.

Pay them enough and they will put up with any humiliation......just look at Trumps cabinet

You don't have to take the job if you don't like the job description. They don't have to hire you if you don't like the job description.

See how that works?

If you put it in their job description and it is not illegal or a violation of their civil rights (illegal). Yes.

Go tell your boss no sometime and let us know how it works out.

Oh yeah, this is great news. This means the people who work for me can't tell me no!

I think we'll set Youtube videos later on Tuskegee and the Trail of Tears playing later.

If their job description says they will run 20 miles in 100 degree weather, then they either run, quite, or get fired.

In MY position there are two folks above me and dozens below so while I don't think it is the way things should be, it is GREAT news in the micro sense.

Most companies are mini-USSR's. You play by the rules of the government or you get sent to the gulags. You are not free to do or say everything you can on the outside of the building.

They can also reach outside the building, with clauses dealing with behavior detrimental to the company, and non-disclosure agreements.

Well gosh just do it and if the people above you are not inclined as you are they can can your ass.... Cool stuff eh?

Yeah, as they should. Friends daughter was Snow White for a few years. She didn't have much of a night life then.

To the title question, Nothing. They can comply with the requirement of the job/boss/you, or they can leave to find work elsewhere. Likewise, you can fire/punish them for non-compliance. Beyond that, you can do nothing. You can "make them" do something no more than I can "make you" do something. All any of us can do is make things more uncomfortable, one way or another, within the confines of our own power/control.

What can my boss make me do?

It's not what they call you. It's what you answer to.
-- W.C. Fields​

The short answer, for everyone, is nothing one is not willing to allow them to do.

Choices have consequences, but that doesn't mean one must do that which one finds unacceptable to do.

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then He shall reward every man according to his works.
-- Matthew 16:26-27​

How many people were inconvenienced by traveling to Indianapolis for 10 minutes? And half of that $250,000 was probably just for parking Air Force 2 near the stadium. How much easier would it have been to stay home and protest the game in front of his television?
