Look, functionally you're defining an "apolitical" office as unquestioning obedience. Which is fine, just own it instead of trying to dress it up.
- manfredo 7y agoI'm not sure where you're seeing "unquestioned obedience". Employees can go support the politicians, or hold rallies for whatever cause they choose on their own time. An apolitical office is one where political activity isn't held in the office. That's it. I'm really not sure what is confusing about this.

- manfredo 7y agoAgain, an apolitical office does not entail unquestioned obedience - the notion that it does is your own fabrication. I've worked in apolitical offices before, and people do feel comfortable to question business decision and technical choices. In fact, I'd say people were more comfortable in questioning those decisions than in political offices, because in political offices people are loath to be perceived as political enemies.
