Is a cross-posted question.
It's interesting, perhaps on-topic, but it is specifically cross-posted. Is that okay?

Pure cross-posting has been identified as being counter to StackExchange's spirit in this meta thread. So the answer to the title question is a flat no. As Lumberjack pointed out, this answer in particular does a stellar job of describing why cross-posting is a problem on SE
Now, if a question was about a central topic and OP is asking about the impact on a workplace here and the general value of the practice from a macro-economic perspective, then I'd argue that that's not pure cross-posting but a case of two very different questions about the same topic. The typical test is whether answers on one site could just as easily have been posted on another site. In that case you're dealing with a cross-post and those are not allowed by community consensus.
That said, the question you've linked here arguably isn't that great of an example since I doubt it's on-topic on Economics and the version here is unclear and convoluted.
A question like that seems to have one foot in two SE sites, it's both an economics and a workplace question. The economics are being examined in the economics SE, but it also has workplace ramifications, so it is not merely a theoretical question suited for only economics.
Usually cross posting is frowned on severely, but I think this particular question is a rare exception.
If people want to ask good, interesting, researched, quality questions that they posted elsewhere, I have absolutely no problems with it being posted here.
Questions like the one you linked are unfortunately an overwhelming minority of "plz help me" cross posted questions.
