I doubt it was ever so simple. Maybe for a halcyon moment when incomes were rising and ideology was sparse on the ground - the 50s and early 60s - politics had little part in work, in as much as most people still agreed. But they all agreed on horrible things, like how to treat women in the workplace with disrespect. People are politics, especially in a free land like ours. No politics at work is unrealistic, I believe.
