From bakkagirl:
"I would say that excluding the above circumstances, any attempt by an employer to elicit or coerce intimate self-disclosure, self-criticism has crossed the line, is in breach of the labor code of most countries, is ACTIONABLE.
All of this needs to be REMOVED from organizational environments, PERIOD."
Agreed.
As I do, I am looking for motive here. Would the possible motive be "collateral," to keep people in line? It seems to me that maybe, after people have shared this stuff, they would later regret doing so. It might feel to them as if it is hanging over their heads. Now the company "has something" on them. If they later discover other unethical practices by the company, many would be reluctant to report these, for fear of retaliation.
