MLK Posting
by: Dan

I have seen many of these posting, but without the "derogatory comments warning", as many companies treat MLK Day as an optional holiday. As I do not know the company, I am not sure what compelled them to make that statement unless there have been issues in the past. It seems unfortunate that people must continue to be reminded about acting professionally in the work environment. Hopefully, one day, this will not be necessary.
