Quick Question:Initech prohibits possession of weapons on all Company property, including workplace buildings, retail stores, and parking lots (unless permissible under state law). Any act or threat of violence must be reported immediately to a Manager, HR and/or Security.
Does anyone that works there carry:
- A Knife?
- A Screwdriver?
- A Set of Keys?
Because these can all be weapons, so under the above quote, they're all prohibited...
... I went through a few similar discussions with my bosses here...
Pointed out that everyone carries sharp tools and pocket knifes, which are clearly in violation of the 'no weapons' clause, as they can EASILY be used to cause seriously bodily injury or death.
His answer was along the lines of 'well, they're not planning on stabbing anyone, so its not a weapon'... I take that to mean that as long as I'm not planning on shooting anyone, neither is my firearm

Granted, I'm still waiting until I pick up something pocket-carry-able to carry at work, as there is a lot of bending/climbing/jumping/etc around required, and IWB/OWB would eventually be noticed by Someone.
