This will probably be an unpopular opinion, but at work...maybe we should just talk about the work? My personal opinions on abortion, guns, single-payer healthcare never come up in normal conversation, even when we're just 'shooting the breeze'.
P.S. Some folks will assume I'm a hardcore Republican...nope - I'm independent because neither party lines up with my ideals.
Totally. If you find people at work who enjoy chatting about these subjects, fine. But general broadcasting of controversial non-work topics should be off the table. And this really should be because employees have the social skills to set their own boundaries, not because the company has to make an official policy about it. Work is work. When I go to work, I’m there to do what my company wants. (Guess I’m outing myself as “old”)
