I’m working from our headquarters this week and was in the break area getting a coffee when I woman I’ve known for a couple years and always talk to when I’m in office what I thought about the election last night.

I told her I wasn’t very happy because I’m pretty hardcore on immigration and without a border you don’t have a country. I knew she had kids so I had to say that the next time an illegal murders or rapes a US citizen, I hope the parents were one of the ones who voted for open borders and not the family of the people voting for secured borders.

She turned and just walked away. I may be on the government nipple myself in the next couple days. But hey, she started the conversation by asking me my my thoughts on the election. That may be my get out of jail free card.

Never ever talk politics, DEI, or about genders at work. I use people’s names - frick pronouns.

If you get fired for that ask them if you would have been fired for saying you were ecstatic over the DSA victory but we somehow have to find a way to 8647 if you know what I mean?

She cant prove you said a thing. Just deny it unless there was someone else who heard you.

Probably would've been better to have left that part out.

Pack your laptop up and mail it back so you can get your last paycheck.

This. Good God, This.

I was raised to complement ladies on their appearance. “Your hair has changed. It looks lovely”. “Thats a beautiful dress” etc etc. i don't even do THAT anymore. All conversation is business only. If a woman starts asking about personal stuff, I just gently deflect. Post Weinstein, its very unwise to reveal Any personal opinions, especially to a woman.

In a former career, the guys I worked with were close friends. We talked casually and honestly the way close friends speak. That era is over, especially at bigger companies. Work is work is work. Period. Keep your mouth shut and your head down.

Maybe you are just being fired for being an a-hole. I know it's hard, but just look in the mirror for once to see if maybe you are the problem.

I was going to ask the same thing

What planet does someone have to be from to think it’s a good idea to talk to their coworker about rape?
