I’m working at a biomedical lab at UPitt full time and another biomedical at CMU in my “free time”(lol) and it’s bizarre how it’s now totally okay to talk about politics at work. People are sharing political articles on the teams chat.
- guelo 2y agoWhen politics is coming for you shouldn't you talk about it?
- tayo42 2y agoMaybe not talking about politics is a problem. Like how we all started talking about salaries when we weren't supposed to and now we have a better sense of what our worth is in the job market. If no one talks about politics, no one gets challenged. Maybe that used to be ok, but now we can retreat to pseudo anonymous communities online or consume algorithm suggested content that only reinforce or create more extreme positions.
- mirawelner 2y agoI really like the comparison between talking about politics at work and talking about salaries at work. They are both things that were just 'not allowed' for vague reasons and they both turned out to be really important things to bring up at work.
