What to do about a worker whose colleague loudly discusses politics in the office and is it illegal for an employer to ask a prospective employee about their pay history.
We are back in the office and a colleague in the same general workspace talks loudly on the phone about his political views. I find it offensive. Is there anything that I can do?
Is it the fact that he is discussing politics that’s offensive to you, or is it his particular views? Politics shouldn’t be discussed openly in a work environment. The nation is like a giant arena fight club over politics, but at least you can choose to change the channel or not visit those platforms — at work you are captive. This is a matter for your boss to handle, not you directly.
While I miss your old picture, I look forward to your column. Recently you wrote about interview questions,but not “illegal”. My understanding is that in NYC it is actually illegal to ask someone’s salary. How can that be constitutional? And how can an employer know if someone is in their compensation range if they don’t ask?
Do you mean the picture that made me look “old” or the previous picture that I assume you think is more flattering than the current one? Not that I’m vain, or this is about me or anything. You are correct, my flattering friend. There are some questions that are inappropriate but not illegal and some questions that consist of a violation. In New York, a salary history ban law prohibits all employers from asking prospective or current employees about their salary history and compensation.
