My employer is not my mother or father. They have no business prescribing me extra-curricular socialization, nor are they afforded any privilege to dictate anything else about my personal life.

They're not prescribing extra-curricular socialization for your personal life, though. They're prescribing on-the-clock socialization for your professional life.

Can't wait to see this line in a company e-mail about forcing people into the office.

> Especially while driving, at the red traffic lights, or while overtaking cars/or while they overtake you :)

If this wasn't a joke, then my comment was addressing that.

It was a joke! Sorry for the confusion. I hope that the exaggeration would be considered as a joke.

You never know on the internet :D I've seen wilder things suggested in seriousness.

Unfortunately it was meant as a sarcastic comment.

And of course I totally agree with you.
