is it bad to listen to howard stern in the office?

[kermalou]

can someone claim harrassment?

 

[Jzero]

Through headphones or in the open?
In the open, it's risky. I wouldn't do it. Too many crybabies and lawsuitmonkeys laying around.

Headphones...ok.
Like Milton in Office Space ... not ok, even at a resonable volume.

 

[kermalou]

umm..umm...

 

[NutBucket]

I do. But then again, we're pretty liberal around here it seems.

 

[EngenZerO]

headphones.

 

[Asharus]

Are there any live streams online? The signal is pretty weak here.

Don't know if you would get in trouble, but you might annoy some people.

Personally when Stern starts moaning and going "ohhh that is so hot" I want to punch something.

Its bad to listen to him at all.
He sucks

nope.. he doesn't allow them

To your original question "can someone claim harrassment?"

Yes, they could, saying it's a hostile work environment.

Now that he's moaning about the FCC yanking him

stern blows goats

Not appropriate for work unless everybody agrees they want to hear it and it's a close knit group. Otherwise you're opening yourself up for trouble if somebody cries they are offended.

hehe. I have to watch the volume on my radio and turn it off when I leave my desk. I listen to Walton and Johnson and they frequently play songs like "Prison Bitch," "Tired of the Gay Life," and "Titties and Beer."

The other day, one of the guys said "Listen, homosexual, you are gonna burn in hell." I was laughing, but I know there are some people around my office that would be offended. If you never heard them, Walton talks and Johnson does 3 voices (redneck - Billy Ed, black guy - Mr. Eaux, gay guy - Mr. Kenneth) throughout the show.

I listen to it at work all the time and no one cares. I have my own office, though and outside of my office no one can hear it.

When I worked in the cubicle world people around me would listen to the worst stations. Gospel, preaching stations and Stern (opie and anthony). I would shut my office door sometimes when the praise lord jesus stuff got to annoying.

One lady listened to some hard core rap station, that always drove me crazy too.

 

[Red Dawn]

Yes just like listening to Hillbilly Heroin Limbaugh would be a bad idea!

 

[WHipLAsh13]

I agree use headphones

 

[StageLeft]

If you have to ask, you probably work with a crew operating fork lifts, so the asnwer is no, it's not bad.

 

[Don Vito Corleone]

I'm listening to him in my office right now (though I have a private office and turn him down when I have visitors)!

out loud = no no, thats noise pollution
headphones= well it still doesn't reflect well on you if someone finds out. trash radio, whether its limbaugh or stern, should be left outside the office. its like having tabloids or pr0n on your desk.
