I lost a job over politics a decade ago. Suffered through the brutality of the Obama election cycle in this particular workplace.
There are a lot of discriminatory practices people are protected from by law. Unfortunately, political party affiliation isn’t one of them. If they want to keep you from working a job they can.
This is why it is important to be industrious, imaginative, and entrepreneurial. Having a secondary skill to fall back on is going to be critical in the years ahead. And knowing who your friends are, who your trusted network is, and how to communicate off the internet.
I was driven out of a job because I didn’t worship the wun.
Higher education is an area I don’t miss.
