"Bring your whole self to work" is a joke unless you hold progressive opinions. Antifa and "resistance" stickers on laptops or backpacks are fine, as is openly wishing for the death or bodily harm of sitting politicians from the "wrong" party. Diversity groups for just about everyone except you know who. Meetings on work time openly pushing progressive agendas.
God forbid you display MAGA swag or even a Gadsden. Diversity is supposed to yield benefits of expanded opinions. Now there is no diversity. Everyone looks a bit different but the only opinions expressed are in one direction.
- AlexeyBelov 3y agoWhy would you want to display MAGA swag?
- ein0p 3y agoWhy would you want to display Antifa/ACAB swag? Why would you want to marginalize one of the major political movements in the country, while boosting marginal movements?

- cherrycherry98 3y agoIn case my point there wasn't clear, it's common for people to adorn their property with their support for a campaign, such as lawn signs, bumper stickers, or pins. Such displays are rare at work, as most people have more tact than that, but I've still seen Obama, Hillary, and Bernie campaign logos. A Trump one or "Make America Great Again" one in these environments would be a faux pas to say the least. If we really cared about "our workforce reflecting our customers", as the mantra goes, we'd want people that empathize with those points of view. Instead there appears to be nothing but active disdain for them in this industry.

- not_really 3y agoSuch a snide and professional remark, nice job
- k8svet 3y agoThanks! For another tip, it goes equally ironically well at rallies for folks trying to impose governmental control over individuals' medical decisions. Turns out there's more than professionalism at stake. I'd link the Gadsden flag Wikipedia page but that might also not be professional. Also, why is it unprofessional to point out an ignorant irony that I can find countless examples of? Is it uncomfortable when I point out the obvious cognitive dissonance?
- not_really 3y agoI am familiar with the flag. While it's fun to poke at people who don't know better, this sort of thing cuts both ways. For example, I could find countless examples of people who align themselves with defunding the police, yet lament at the fact that their neighborhood is now suffering from crime. Either way, your public fear of posting a Wikipedia link says a lot about you.
