Yes, this. Politics in America runs about 50-50. Religion is similarly every person's preference. Taking either of those to work is a formula for disaster.

Taking either of those to work is a formula for disaster. I'm just amazed that companies haven't done a better job of enforcing "Leave that at home" 'till now. It really wasn't a thing until a decade or so ago.
- TheOtherHobbes 7y agoPolitics is already at work. The larger the corporation, the more likely it is to be involved in politics in a very direct way. As a minion, you're discouraged from holding an opinion on company time, and even more strongly discouraged from doing anything that might affect the natural corporate power balance. Active political engagement is a privilege reserved for upper management, who certainly won't be leaving their opinions at home.

- chii 7y ago> Politics is already at work. The larger the corporation, the more likely it is to be involved in politics in a very direct way. politics "at work" is not the same as a company being involved in politics (or pushing for a particular political party). Work time is time the employer paid you to do a job. Unless said job involves activism, engaging in such activism is not a productive use of your time.
