I'm not sure the idea of "no politics at work" is exactly the right mindset. I like the idea that a narrow mission (corporate or otherwise) allows for coalition building, and that you can sometimes put your differences aside and build something great the world can benefit from (this was an idea pushed by the early defenders of open source and the OSI). When you build these coalitions, it also somewhat forces you to humanize the people not from your political faction.
