WTF are you talking about???

Nazi's really?

You do know that most if not all corporations have some kind of policy banning office pools right? Its to prevent employees from having issues or problems if and when things go bad. It protects the corporation. NFL is no different and they have the rule on the books.

You don't cover up a crime... that in itself is a crime. So Penn State should have kept raping boys "in the locker room". Oh wait they did... lol.

From Google on down, I've never worked for a company that banned office pools. Never. I'm sure some do, but I'm not sure the "Most is not all" is even close to accurate. I'm nearly 43 and have worked for 6 different corporations from small broadcast entities all the way to Google. If it were common to ban office pools I'm pretty sure I'd have seen it somewhere along the way. I haven't.

Check the employee hand book.

I am willing to be there is a clause in their. Everyone I worked for had them in their. But we also had Football pools, NCAA bracket pools.

And yes even the NFL has the policy.

Seriously? Dude Google required us to have mandatory sessions with lawyers about everything you can imagine. I can say I never searched through the documentation specifically for office pools. What I CAN say is that Google was (and still is) SO concerned about such things I doubt VERY SERIOUSLY they would allow management to promote office pools the way they do.

The deal was always this: You can't make a profit, meaning the person or group running the pool can't make any money off it. That's pretty much it.

Google Engineers have created tools to help people set up brackets and have promoted them on the 'official' Google blog.

I can only say that, based on what I know, this sort of thing would absolutely not be allowed if there were a specific policy against it. In other words, I think I'm willing to take your bet.

It's interesting because, technically, office pools aren't legal in California.
