Question: What does human resources have in common with the U.S. presidential campaign?
How about taxes, foreign trade, labor relations, minimum wage, rights for women, immigration, wage stagnation, education, health care, religion ...
Every one of them is a core HR issue. Your employee's core beliefs track those of the candidates who have been shouting, lying and name-calling for months.

How about people just go to work, and work?
I have my earbuds and conservative YouTube subscriptions to get my fix, and I dont bug other people with my views.
I’m a trainer in the construction field. These guys can’t even spell politically correct let alone do it.
It’s a breath of Fresh air.
They must be reeducated.
He claims that "diversity" is good for business. When I asked him how/why, he couldn't come up with any answer other than regurgitating another PC bromide, something about "fairness."
Granted, he has a family to feed, but he ought to be able to come clean with his own brother. I was frankly shocked.
I have a better solution. Don’t hire anyone. Outsource and work with independent contractors.
Let someone else have a “politically correct” workplace.
PC workplace rules for conservatives:
1. Keep your conservative views to yourself.
2. See Rule 1.
Diversity, to me, is like pouring coffee into a good Single Malt Whiskey bottle. It is mixing, for sure, but the results are horrible. Diversity, for the sake of diversity is a stupid plank of the Commie bastards platform...look it up!
# 1 way to be sure you’re not sued - Don’t hire the perpetually offended.
Diversity to liberals is like the canned veggies aisle in the supermarket. All shapes and sizes, with different color wrappers, all bright and cheerful, a bewildering array of diversity.
Until you open the cans up and see what is inside and realize that every single one of those seemingly different cans all contain peas.
You see, to liberals, the external appearance of diversity is important, but not nearly as important as the uniformity of though that must reside on the inside.
Drat ... though = thought.
They WANT to produce an unmanageable mess, therefore increasing the demand for a Nanny to Help Manage It All.
Smart conservatives are not curmudgeons. They want people to work well with one another and will take every reasonable step to bring it about. However they know what’s a fad and what really counts.
That could be a bit difficult in today’s America.
Ding Ding. Some of my coworkers I’ve worked with for years, but no one knows my opinions about politics, religion, or money (which I have very strong opinions about) because I don’t talk about them. At work they are the ‘toxic triad’.
I work in an office of mostly H1B contractors from India and the funny thing is, they’re not afraid to mention any of that stuff. And nobody gets into a fight about it.
But again they’re probably more, er, “normal” (and actually broad-minded) than Americans are today.
Americans are culturally sabotaging themselves by becoming intractable about discussions of the things that matter the most in life.
You vill be PC and you vill like it!
Take a flying **** at a rolling doughnut.
Yup
