His co-workers were openly vocal about the impact of the Eric Garner-related protests (blocked traffic) but silent on the issue itself. I think that's worthy of criticism, even if it is human nature to avoid issues until they impact you directly.
- Chazprime 7y agoWhy is that worthy of criticism? I think that it's also human nature to refrain from talking politics at work. Personally, political issues are usually reserved for friends & family...I don't bring them into the workplace.
- jayventura 7y agoThe workplace is the perfect place for politics. Imagine if nobody every asked: "Should blacks, LGBTQ+, women even deserve to work these types of jobs or be promoted?" Taking that even further, imagine if nobody ever asked: "Should we be using slaves?" If you don't have to think about politics in the workplace, then you have a very special privilege-- and I think you should consider how you can share that power with others so they too can simply think about getting a paycheck.
