I agree, but forwarding it to HR is over the line. -- nm

Plus, I think HR would have to defend their right to do it.

I'd email the person back and ask them not to send me that. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 3, 10:15 15

  - my stance is content neutral. -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 10:21
  - I don't understand why that's hostile. If I included quotes about how there is no god that supported my atheist views would you fell the same if - Cuzzin Todd Mar 3, 10:19
- ick, I so would not do that. They have the right to express themselves, and I have the right to think less of them for it ... - Beryllium Mar 3, 10:17 7
  - They have the freedom to express themselves when they ain't on the company dime. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 10:24 2

    - especially when we're talking about official company communication. -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 10:26
  - I don't get why religious views are "freedom of expression" whenever these topics come up. - Cuzzin Todd Mar 3, 10:21 3
    - Racist and sexist comments are inherently negative, whereas religious comments tend to be, at worst, self-affirming in ways you don't agree with. -- nm - TFox Mar 3, 10:25
    - religious views get lumped in with hamburger preferences (Wendy's or Burger King?), due to being mostly benign. racism and sexism are hurtful. - Beryllium Mar 3, 10:23 1
      - I disagree that religious expression is "mostly benign" -- nm - znufrii, older, no wiser Mar 3, 10:28

  - They should. It's business correspondence. (Unless the business allows for it already in policies.) -- nm - JaxSean Mar 3, 10:19
If their emails go to external clients/customers, it could be an issue. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 3, 10:10
