Wish more companies would post theirs. Makes it easy to spot places I wouldn't be caught dead working at.
Are these codes of conduct for engineers, by engineers? They seem like someone is stereotyping engineers as having no social graces whatsoever and making rules in a heavy-handed fashion.
No condescending well-actually’s
Egads - I thought this was going to be about serious matters (like the climate of toxic sexual behavior that pervades our industry). But no - it's about thought control and enforcing a culture of fake niceness.
Because -- or "well, actually" -- sometimes surprise is a perfectly normal human emotion. And "well actually" is just... a fill phrase that pops out of your mouth.
Nothing more.
On the more nuanced side -- I get the point about how these behaviors can seem out of tune, or rub some people the wrong way. So I welcome helpful discourse about them. It's when you feel you have to make a "code of conduct" to regulate them is where it starts to seem controlling and, basically, unhuman.
And very corporate.
