Sue me... that was the tamest thing I thought of.
Grow up and take it off.
Its a sticker with words, so what.
Most important: Make money take care of you and the family or family to be someday by having a career.
Bosses are a pain in the a$$ and always will be, if you want to make money you have to do what they want.
Now when it is something worth fighting for like a raise in pay, then stand your ground, but for a lame a$$ sticker, NO WAY!

Sucks to be him. You are a push over if you are worried about this aspect, and he has probably already picked up that scent on the wind otherwise he wouldn't bas asking you to be submissive like this.
Walk out.
Respect is a two way street.
There was a piece on 60 Minutes last night about how little recourse most people have in situations like this. The report focused on a company's goal to rid itself of smokers, but it featured other incidents where people were canned for relatively similar and seemingly minor stuff.

Damn, I'm agreeing with Hinkley?! (usually an indication it's time to rethink my positionMark Hinkley said:

Dude, it's a sticker.
WTF cares.
Give and take is a part of life.
Give your boss a break. It sounds like he's eyeball deep in lawyer shit and just doesn't want any more problems.
If removing a sticker was all it took to make my life easier, I'd consider that a dream job (and dream boss).

"It's just a little sticker"
It's just a little freedom,
easy to give up VERY hard to get back.
Take off the sticker, if he starts with a lot of crap put if back on and get Calvin peeing on H2, the hummer in a jeep, lift it cause fat chicks can't jump, and other worse ones.

Do the words, "Choose your battles wisely," mean anything to anyone here?

Let it go.
take the sticker off.
Cover the sticker up.
It is not the government telling you to take it off, it a guy who owns the land.
Look for a new job if you want.
I tell my kids, if the man you are working for wants you to wear a newspaper salior hat, they had better be folding newspapers right quick!

i didn't read the entire thread, but what if you were to sit down with the ladies, explain to them the issue at hand and see if they're offended? if they understand that it's just a marketing gimick, they should be fine with it.
so what if he hires a "greenie" that's offended that you drive a gas guzzling jeep and is offended by it? will he want you to sell it so that greenie isn't pissed?

I don't think the guy owns the land, he might be leasing th buildingseanR said:

Have you ever leased a building/land? Rights are so close to owner rights its not funny! So BFD if it is a lease.
He's not asking for it to be gone at his home, just work. Put it on a magnetic backing and take it off while parking at work.
This would be so STUPID to loose your job or quit it isn't even funny!

While you are right in regards to the land/lease rules being somewhat close and I will not argue if parking lots are leased or just have the right of usage as it's not really an issue, I do not agree that it is a work related issue. You are right that it is a stupid reason to loose a job (and I don't think it'd be a legal reason to loose the job, although he could get canned for some other "official" reason while this is the underlying reason).Mark Hinkley said:
So the question is whether removing the vehicle from the work vicinity would satisfy him and what he would say if he saw you driving with that sticker still on the rig. Would he still be unhappy?
Kejtar said:
You're not thinking about this right. You are looking from an employee not an employer! The boss wants to CYA with his other employee's. Has nothing to do with the sticker and his life out of work. You bring crap to the work space, including the parking lot, you are subject to work rules. These rules are for the good of all the employees per the bosses' opinion. So as an employee who wants to stay employed you go by the rules. And that goes for what you wear, do, and say during those work hours. Now after work crap is no business of the bosses'! Want to see some crazy sheit look into the companies trying to limit smoking of all their employees while on or OFF the job. They are trying to reduce medical costs. Is it right then? I don't think so.
I see the "rights" thing being said. This has nothing to do with rights until the government takes it away!

Which part of "wonder what the boss would say if vehicle was parked outside of the work parking lot" did you miss? Per your definition that would remove it from the work space.Mark Hinkley said:
