Guess What? I Lost My FREEDOM

Lately, my company is sending messages not to talk about China. Yes, you read it right. They are controlling us like a robot not to say issues about this country, such as COVID-19, politics, etc. Even if the students initiate the discussion during the free talk class. Can you believe it? Since I need my teaching online job, I just pretend that I didn't hear it. Did I lose my freedom to talk? Image Credit: media1.tenor.com

The situation with China seems to be getting very serious. They are encroaching into the affairs of many countries.

You said it right. My company's staff are becoming dummies. They are unreasonable wth the rules imposing lately.

I need to regain my pride. Besides the point, I am a professional one and need to be respected.

I’m sorry, I like to state my own opinion but if your job depends on keeping them to yourself, I suppose I would comply to keep my job. I wouldn’t want my family to go without their needs.

At this point in time, it is not the right time to quit the job. If it happens that they will terminate me, it is their loss. My company had done mass termination a month ago.

Waw! You did! Hope you can find a better job later. IMO, there is a certain limit we can be "controlled" by the company that we work with.

I am glad that you got the bigger picture of my situation right now. For now, I need to endure the controlling moments with them.

@Shavkat I think endurance is the "it" word nowadays. This pandemic makes us leave with fewer options. Best of luck for you :)

It may be in your best interest you never can tell . . . Sometimes things may not necessary mean what we often interprets it as .

It can be an advantage if I don't violate their rules. If they stop pestering me, it is fine with me.

They might have some genuine reason for that. May be some security reasons. When working for someone or some organization, we have to abide by the rules whether we like it or not.

You can substitute the word "China" with "you-know-what" or "the-country-which-must-not-be-named", just like Voldemort in Harry Potter :D LOL

That is very interesting. I notice on youtube comments that people misspell China to pass the censors. Most often it is Chyna or Ch*na. I think we are losing our freedom to speak. You are not allowed an opinion on Facebook if you are conservative. Even youtube hid stuff about the Coronavirus.
