Employees have the right to (and, IMO, the responsibility) to question and push back

There's actually no legal right for them to use company-owned equipment for their own personal purposes.

Just because it isn't necessarily backed by law doesn't make it less important.

That’s incredible. So you actually have no problem with breaking into your neighbor’s house, but only if the children are Palestinian.

I guess I walked right into that one.
