Would you refuse to work with a colleague because he voted for the other side? This is discrimination and this is obviously illegal, but this is a side effect

This is discrimination and this is obviously illegal, but this is a side effect of talking politics at work.
- RhysU 6y agoI don't think this is a good idea but I don't see how it is illegal: "Alice, pick up the ticket for Bob." "No, Bob voted for X!" Then, sometime later, Alice is fined and/or sent to jail.
- sascha_sl 6y agoSorry for the late reply, HN "rate limits" got me. The short answer is that I pick my workplace based on culture. I have to. I am a very obvious queer looking person, so about half to a third of my interviews go at least slightly sour as soon as they start. It's a good filter in a way. The job I had while coming out turned out not to be so great, lots of rumors and hot takes and bad jokes about me going around. I don't need that sort of constant negativity in my life. (Also, I'm not exactly sure how I'd define "the other side", since I'm not in the US. It's more subtle here.)
