Creepy and crawly

A real life hairball


 It's hard, especially in light of defending the right of public companies such as Dr. Seuss Enterprises (racist books) and Hasbro (Mr. Potato Head) to make policy decisions they feel are in not only their but the public's best interest even if a few folks are upset by said policy decisions, to make too much of revelations that Ramsay Solutions (under the Lampo Group, LLC--they provide educational and training services to businesses) has terminated eight people (five of them men) in the past five years for engaging in premarital sex.  As a private corporation, they, like the aforementioned companies, are free to set policies such as they see fit.

Still, it's more than a little creepy that any company would feel it necessary to delve into such a private matter.  Even worse, how exactly (other than the young unmarried woman in their employ who became pregnant and who is currently suing them for discrimination) do you suppose they were able to uncover the fact that these folks were having premarital sex?  In a word...awkward!

As they sell services that I have no need for and my talents (you can call them that, I guess) aren't suited for employment with the Lampo Group, it probably doesn't matter all that much to me.  Any time, though, corporations are involved in this kind of overreach into their employees private lives it's more than a little unsettling and one hopes not a precedent (think QAnon or the republican party veering toward fascism) for others.
