I found the pledge for the code of conduct to be really well written. My wife worked for the Office of federal contract compliance program (OFCCP) as a compliance officer to monitor corporate discrimination. Their “affected classes” were limited to a list including the disabled, sexual discrimination (usually with women being paid less than men), Vietnam war veterans, and a few others. It always bothered me that the list of classes never included gender identity, body size, and personal appearance.
The Pledge by LibreFoodPantry fills in many of the gaps with a much fuller definition of areas of discrimination, and then follows with “Our Standards”, which lays out a clear utopian view of how we should behave in teams and is as essential education for students who are about to enter the business world as any of the technical skills we are learning. The stressing of positive communal behavior is probably the most important thing to learn for entry into business world.
