    Not sure this one is legal either. Love it. But feels like compelled non-speech. Let’s see what Jordan Peterson says!

      Oh I think that’ll pass muster. It’s their work email.

      Your boss can insist you put your title, number and a jpg of the company logo along with the motto.

      Not on your Gmail account though

      Only non-witches get due process.

          Yeah, I don't think there's any issue there.

            But there is an interesting twist. MY employer can infringe on my free speech, but my government can not. But in this case, the employer is the government. Aren’t they held to a different set of rules?

              How will Senator Sheehy sign his emails, now?

                You can select your employer, you can't select your government (actually in an insignificant way you can contribute to the selection).

                  I guess if I were a federal employee and Biden had required it I would’ve just put my pronouns as bio/logy

                    A lot of times in the federal government, they don't insist. It's just that your email signature is automatically generated.

                    Please love yourself.
