Do you talk politics at the job?

[acri1]

For those of us living that office job life.

I'm just curious as to whether other people tend to avoid the whole subject at work or not. Where I work at it's somewhat taboo to even bring up politics at all, and we occasionally have to give people the if they use their work email to send out anything related to politics.


That said, I remember coming to work the day after the 2016 election and the silence in my department that morning was deafening.

 

[mastermind]

Yes, I work on a college campus and we do

 

[Starman]

Yeah, but only with certain people. Make that 2 people.

 

[LurkMoar]

nope, most just bytch about welfare or something.

 

[AnonymityX1000]

No, I don't.
I worked somewhere else when Trump won and I think talking about the 2016 presidential election was not a smart move. But my boss was kinda obssesso and forced the action.

I try not to but where I work everyone is a republican and I'm know as the loan liberal

I work in tech so it skews fairly young but there's a LOT of technolibertarians (somewhere there's blue text that just popped a chub) so I do talk about it but my god are a lot of my Jr coders fukking naive and or complete idiots.

A great deal of my coworkers attempt to hide the fact that they are republicans, they don't like to advertise it. We have multiple TVs in the office, 1 that plays CNN and 1 that plays Fox daily. I'd love to get the opportunity to sh*t on them but they definitely don't want to talk about it while their mistake is still being thrown in their face daily with the antics of the person they voted for.

I discuss politics with one guy at my job.

Be happy it's at least FOX news, my second youngest jr dev watches RT in his spare time. Has a Julian Assange mug and everything.

Truth be told, they most likely don't regret voting for him.

You all need to keep an eye on him, hit him with the anytime he's near something sharp.

I'm sure several of them don't which is a big reason they don't want to talk about it. But I know there are a few who are living in shame because of it.

I hit him with the every time he gets spicy. He knows better (plus if he ain't play nice and wise up I can ruin his career ). #Blackbosses
