Try sharing something, anything and I’ll make it political in 2 easy steps.
Unless you’re a machine, there is politics at work. does everything have to be a woke political discussion? prolly not
- AnimalMuppet 5y agoA lot of things are "political", but not that many are political. > Try sharing something, anything and I’ll make it political in 2 easy steps. Yeah, see, that's the problem. The problem isn't that everything is in some way political. It's people who are looking to make things political. (In fact, that could be a functional definition of woke-ness.) You don't want that at work. Eventually, the woke people will find a way to turn on some of your most valuable and most talented employees. That's not going to end well, no matter who wins the fight.
- rantwasp 5y agoso you saw what i was trying to point out. the problem is not political things. it’s people that are turning a difference of opinion into “cancelling” someone else. my opinion is that you literally cannot ban politics at work. people will still talk about things. you need a culture of tolerance and openness.
- anigbrowl 5y agoThe problem isn't that everything is in some way political. It's people who are looking to make things political. But often they are political and people are simply pointing it out, which makes other people uncomfortable. 'That's just how X is' or 'things have always been that way, what's the big deal' are very often the product of past political decisions whose results have become the default.
