Perhaps in the bay area, but in a red state I experience pretty much the opposite atmosphere. I don't tell people I'm a lefty generally because I'm fairly certain most of my coworkers are right to far right (and many express those opinions freely).
We are in a pretty politically charged environment right now. Opinions and temperatures can run hot against the out groups.
- CoastalCoder 3y agoThere used to be an expectation that one doesn't discuss sex, religion, or politics in the workplace. Incidents like this make me think there's some wisdom in that.
- lotsoweiners 3y agoTotally agree and think it mostly the industries with a heavy population of far leaning individuals (tech, defense, etc) that like to discuss this stuff. I work in local government and very rarely hear any opinions about anything relate to politics or religion.
