Not really, I never felt like I'd be kicked for talking about politics, but it's just not productive, very often relies on emotions, full of difficult to verify informations and causes biases.
So, don't force* people to do politics, being proficent in politics & tricks requires a lot of effort.
* You'll finally have to pick the ""right"" side.
- Kranar 6y agoYou'll have to excuse me if I don't exactly believe that someone who advocates for fair hiring practices in terms of racial, gender, religion and sexual orientation won't face workplace retaliation in a region of the world that still has a relatively poor human rights record on such issues. It's easy to not discuss politics when most people in the workplace have a very homogenous view of said politics, and when anyone who might disagree with company policy that could adversely affect people on the basis of social issues are kept out of the office. Then again, Eastern Europe is fairly big and it's not fair for me to paint the entire region with a single brush stroke. Where specifically in Eastern Europe do you have most experience with?
