Vague academic query. Wrong classification of your query under civil law also confirms this fact.
If it is real, you nay ask your employer about the problem or check the provisions of conduct and discipline rules, as prescribed by your Government for its employees.

Now being employed, you have to follow certain norms and etiquette so that such public shows do not hamper your employment or career.
