re: How open is your office to politics?

Personally I steer away from political or religious talk in the work place. People have their own opinions and I may be old fashioned ,but in the work place people should just keep political opinions to themselves.

*Adding to the list of reasons I love not having coworkers

It doesn't?

Even though I know most of my coworkers are conservative, politics never comes up. It's just not something that should be discussed in a professional office environment.

We bash the liberals constantly.

Have a couple of coworkers who regularly bring it up. It's always innapropriate. I try to avoid it, but sometimes they drag me in, and I have to try to be diplomatic when really I would rather talk about movies or sports if anything with them.

frick, and half the women I work with are useless feminists. And the only one I would actually frick is so stupid, it makes her unattractive.

Early in my work life I learned never to bring up religion or politics on the job. Keep you opinion to yourself when it comes down to these two.

I'm the big sports guy in my office and whenever someone tries to talk sports to me I can immediately tell they don't know what they're talking about. It's mostly Tulane grads and sometimes one of them will tell me how pleased he is with Orgeron and how great of a guy he is. He isn't trolling. It's hard to refocus on work after that when being reminded he's the head of our football program drives me to sobbing in the bathroom.

No one really talks about politics where I work as they shouldn't.
