Confederate flag in cube

[Anonymous]

I work in a federal cube farm. One guy recently put up a confederate flag in his cube, not huge but noticable when you walk by. Can I get him to take it down? Do I go to HR, his boss, or him directly?

He would love for you to provoke him. Don't give him the satisfaction. Ignore.

The Confederate flag is basically treason. And he works for the gov? Talk to HR.

Crime against humanity. Burn the whole building down.

Do not confront him directly this is what he is looking for, this is especially true if you are a minority.

Go to HR

I don't think you'll get very far with this one. Yes, it's poor taste and a classless statement. But, on the grand list of poor choices people tack up in their cubicles, a confederate flag is minor league. Allowing it, even in a fed office, is probably subjective on the part of management.

I think it's very inappropriate and creates a hostile work environment.

Agree with going to HR. The guy is looking for a confrontation. HR will be know if it's allowed or not and can take it from there. Nothing worse than confronting someone over crappy behavior like this and finding out they're technically allowed to do it. Just makes the jerks bolder.

A flag is symbolic and can stir up all kinds of feelings. If a Confederate flag is understandably offensive to people in an office and shouldn't be displayed in a cubicle, why can the American flag be burned as freedom of speech? Both are often described as "just symbols."
