I am seeing more of a benefit to being a old fogey and having no such accounts. Now, if they ask for my Pinterest and gun forum identities, I may have to get up and leave.

Googling your employees has become a favorite tool for human resource departments everywhere. And nothing done on office owned computers or spoken of over company phones can be considered private.

The reason they want to know if any employee or family member has guns or has a CHL is patently because they are ANTI at the top and this is using their power over people to do "their part" to crush the ownership of guns.

There is a management style that focuses on pushing the idea it is better to have sheep working for you and to have sheep as customers. I found this out first hand when a management company was brought in by the new owner of our dental practice. They actually were teaching us it was better to ditch any independent thinkers among our patients. They taught us we wanted to replace all of them with the sheep who would accept treatment plans without question and pay for them without argument. And that is no exaggeration. It made me sick to be required to suddenly treat my patients like they were nothing but a source of maximum income instead of real people. It soon became obvious the new owner felt the same way about her employees and fired every last one of us one by one over several months when she saw we were not "on board" with all of the changes. It was truly amazing. A successful practice with happy patients who had been coming for decades and receiving first rate care was all but destroyed by this progressive mindset.

Big businesses controlled by left thinking people are increasingly using their companies in the marriage, climate, and gun platform of the Democratic party. They want employees who will bond with those goals too.

The hard part would be proving it was the CHL that did it. A larger company would most likely be savvy enough to not leave a paper trail to anything specifically on that list. My sister was in charge of the human resource department of a large company for years and is now a VP. I have heard from her of how careful they are to mind all the details to protect the company from disgruntled employees.

I am betting none of that is actually against the law for an employer to ask an employee. I hate to say it, but we need a law change that protects an employee from an employer asking if they have a CHL. In Texas, they can fire you for refusing to answer that if they want to...or for many other reasons if they take a dislike to you. Good luck getting a direct answer in writing as to the "actual" reason for firing you. It's better if they are not allowed to even ask you.

This is the wave of the near future. In the healthcare systems, many are combining into ever larger entities. It becomes difficult to "leave" one place because of something like this and find similar work elsewhere when they all belong to the same parent network. Obviously the assumption is if you have passed background checks to have a CHL, that does not matter and you are still considered an undesirable employee just because you want to carry a gun under any circumstances illegal or legal.

If employees sign this rather than grouping together to protest, then we will soon have this as the standard questionnaire to work virtually anywhere.
