Why is it necessary to talk about politics at work at all?
[[Why is it necessary to talk about politics at work at all?]]
Liberals love to talk politics at work- then whine and report you when you don’t agree with them-
We used to have very little to no discussions about politics at work until Obama was elected. The day after the 2008 election it all changed. Leftists were ready to "get in your face" long before Obama stated it. This for a defense contractor working on national security issues. The fact that many leftists were working for the company back in 2008 was disconcerting.
You and another FReeper made this point.
It's always good to have some "comrades in arms" at work when it comes to beliefs, viewpoints, etc.
But OP, you're there to work. There's plenty of keyboard commandos on this thread saying to go off on the boss, co-workers, etc. See how many of those big mouths will be willing to help you with bills and living expenses if you get fired.
Do your job as best you can without bringing up politics, religion, etc. If other people bring those things up, ignore them.
