I expect them to loosely categorize politics, while still encouraging open corporate discussion of LGBTQ, racial, and other such issues. People may have different opinions about that.
- big_chungus 7y ago"I expect them to block most things, but still allow things I care about but which the "other side" doesn't regard as serious issues." Fixed that for you. No one is the sole arbiter of what is "important", so I've usually found just not discussing to be the best solution at work.
- t0astbread 7y agoBut you can't tell people not to talk about anything anymore at work.
- TheGRS 7y agoTelling people to stop talking about politics because one don't feel like the discussion is important or productive can be viewed as its own form of covert political discourse. "The status quo is fine, I'm doing fine, discussion to the contrary hurts my worldview".
- big_chungus 7y agoExactly. Every one regards his issues as too important to be merely political. My point is many people don't agree with your interpretation of what ought to be allowed/banned, and you've presented no reason why those issues in particular ought to be discussed. Again, my best solution is to just avoid talking politics at work.
- TheGRS 7y agoDiscrimination in the workplace and society is a perfectly valid reason for talking about politics at work.
