i completely agree with you. aside from the ethical dilemma, it's weird to me to invite conversation of a personal type for workerbees. like, who wants to be stuck behind the guy that's chatting you up while you give him your heartfelt review of the book you're reading? but also, think about all of the skeevy dudes that could use it as an opportunity to just talk to you. why not wear a button that says HIT ON ME or ASK ME WHERE I LIVE? i mean, just on a personal level how do you draw the line between what is appropriate sharing and what isn't if conversation is mandated by the people you work for? this is definitely something you should be writing about and sending to harper's! ;)
