Out of curiosity, how does a "no politics" rule work in a scenario like this? Unfortunately we're currently in a scenario where a queer person saying they had a great time with their husband/wife/partner over the weekend can be stretched to be a violation of that rule by mean spirited people (to put it mildly). I'm not saying this is the case, but I'd personally be uncomfortable sharing in environments like that because of such rule.
That said, having a scheduled 15 minute "hello" meeting every day sounds great! I feel like seeing my coworkers and saying hi is the most value I get out of daily standups, so your team's approach sounds great to me.
- starwatch 4y agoWe've got people of all religions, nationalities, etc. and it's very rarely a problem. How we hire and the effort we put into curating our team culture goes a long way in helping with that. Sometimes we do fall into political conversations though - politics being a massive part of being human after all. But when we do someone says something along the lines of "alright guys, this is starting to sound a bit political so let's talk about xyz instead" where xyz is your favourite funny cat video or similar.
