I don't know. It is kind of hard. I feel that if someone supports Trump, it is my moral obligation to change their mind. I wouldn't shame or degrade them, but I would argue my point fairly strongly.
- frgtpsswrdlame 9y agoI'd say that makes my case for me. Politics has a draw, a tribalistic compulsion that draws everyone in. That's why it shouldn't exist in the workplace.

- MBCook 9y agoWhile I generally agree with the sentiment, if I were a manager that seems like something I wouldn't be able to allow because t would be too disruptive for no company benefit. That's assuming it's done during work hours. If done outside it may still be an issue if it starts to effect the working relationship.
- fhood 9y agoI agree, and I don't actually engage in political arguments at work, but the compulsion is there for the reason I specified.
- GhostVII 9y agoIs that really productive though? For me, at least, I try and imagine how I would feel if the roles were switched - in that case I am pretty sure I wouldn't change my mind, because I have thought about my political views a fair bit, and it would just be annoying to have someone arguing with me when I don't feel like it.
