It's definitely out of bounds, all the moreso because HR is supposed to be on top of making sure these kinds of things do not go on. | |

It's about people airing their opinions, and me feeling that I can't say my own opinion freely without retribution. In case of a bible study lunch, depending on where this is, I might not feel free to say my opinions. | |
