Amen. A big attraction in my present job is that even our unionized production workers proudly sport Trump stickers on their trucks and lunch pails.

A real benefit of hiring Trump supporters is that they actually are willing to give an honest day's work for an honest day's pay.

” but 1 in 5 left-leaning bosses “will not hire” supporters of President Trump”

All of them run Popeye’s outlets or are Hollywood “producers”?

But hey, they can make that clear during the interview so some of us know which companies would like to part with a portion of their revenue all at once.

6 of 7 won’t hire Bernie supporters.

They just won’t ever tell you.

said, "9% of right-leaning hiring managers won’t either"

Sounds like a followup question is in order.
IE: No politics in the work place? True or false?

Study is interesting but incomplete

I would be happy with a workplace where 99% of the managers were not female.

The guys there all just have a heads-down attitude. Just want to work, not say a thing, and get the hell out the door ASAP.

I wouldn’t want to work for or with Liberals and fortunately I only worked with a few before I retired.

A boss I had for 17 years knew how to weed out Liberal applicants without them even knowing what he was doing. We had a low turnover rate so it only happened infrequently and was always fun to watch.

Cannot figure put why political affiliation is not listed as a protected class.
It seems it needs to be.

On the plus side, it’s a great way to dodge jury duty.

In my California neighborhood, I saw a truck with a sticker on back of his truck “MY DOG VOTES REPUBLICAN”

There was a concerted effort to put homosexuals in HR starting in the ‘80s. It worked and we now see the results.

I wasn’t aware that that was a standard interview question.

You know it. They wormed their way into the legal profession as well. Sandra Day O’Connor openly admits this is one of the reasons she flipped in her book. So many were clerking for the supreme court that she and Kennedy begin to think deviancy was normal.

Funny, the only really hard workers are Conservatives and Trump supporters. I guess going out of business is in their future.
As for anyone else, I’d expect the SNOWFLAKE TEST to be popular. You can weed out the chance of having a SJW and Antifa nuts.

The Snowflake Test

1 Outside of standard benefits, what benefits should a company offer employees?
2 What should the national minimum wage be?
3 How many sick days should be given to employees?
4 How often should employees get raises?
5 How do you feel about guns?
6 What are your feelings about employees or clients carrying guns?
7 What are your feelings about safe spaces in challenging work environments?
8 In a creative environment like The Silent Partner Marketing, what do you envision work attire looking like?
9 Should “trigger warnings” be issued before we release content for clients or the company that might be considered “controversial”?
10 How do you feel about police?
11 If you owned the company and were to find out that a client is operating unethically but was a high paying client…how would you handle it?
12 When was the last time you cried and why?
13 You arrive at an event for work and there’s a major celebrity you’ve always wanted to meet. What happens next?
14 What’s your favorite kind of adult beverage?
15 What’s the best way to communicate with clients?
16 What’s your favorite thing to do in your free time?
17 What are your thoughts on the current college environment as it pertains to a future workforce?
18 What’s your typical breakfast?
19 What’s your favorite drink when you go to a coffeehouse?
20 How do you handle bullies?
21 How do you handle it when your ideas are shot down?
22 What do you do if a coworker comes to the table with an idea and it sucks?
23 What does the first amendment mean to you?
24 What does faith mean to you?
25 Who is your role model and why?
26 “You’re in Starbucks with two friends. Someone runs in and says someone is coming in with a gun in 15 seconds to shoot patrons. They offer you a gun. Do you take it? What do you do next?”
27 What does America mean to you?
28 You see someone stepping on an American flag. What do you do?
29 What does “privilege” mean to you?
30 What’s more important? Book smarts or street smarts? Why?

Hire smart folks. Keep your money going to people you can support their goals, apparently they are doing it.

I don't have a problem with this.

I wouldn't hire a Clinton or Obama supporter at gunpoint.

I saw a state of Oregon announcement for a clerical job. The application required the applicant to state what they have done to promote equality and diversity.

Mrs. RWA would agree with you. She hated female bosses and many of the other female co-workers. They never forgot the tiniest thing they thought was a slight and wouldn't talk to you. They would badmouth you to anyone they could find, trying to get them to be against you.

She's happy to be retired. The (male) dog and I are just a couple regular guys that don't hold grudges.

Have worked in the defense industry for 40 years - the libs generally keep a low profile (as they are greatly outnumbered).
