Voted for Hillary too. What's done is done, move on and accept it. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and you need to respect that. If you don't you're only making this harder for yourself and everyone on your team.

OP, my family is from a country where bad mouthing political figures could have your whole family murdered or tortured. It is because America is such a great country with its democratic society that will always make it so great. And before you all start talking shit, I am a Hillary supporter and American citizen. I am not going anywhere lolz.

All the dramatic responses aside, most offices / companies have clear guidelines on political issues. It is usually considered inappropriate in the office, no reason for folks to be made uncomfortable (or develop resentment) by coworkers. Save the political commentary for outside he workplace

If I accept them I'm being forced to accept their anti-diversity mindset.

Alright ... sounds like we just embrace these people. Unless they are paraphrasing directly.

OP these ppl and some of their mindsets existed long before Trump, they are just more comfortable with it now

P1 is that still true when that ideology is universally wrong and amoral? I just don't want to work with them, because I perceive their vote as an amoral choice, severe error in judgement, and a mark on their character. The internal struggle of having to and not wanting to is my problem. The fact that this struggle exists is an organizational problem.

I work on a consulting team at a large software company. I’m a job hopper, around 2 years each at my first and second jobs and a little over a year at this job. I recently found out they’re shutting my team down. We’re not fired, but they’re transferring us to the core implementation team, which has a horrible reputation for malignancy, overworking, and isn’t at all what I was hired to do. How hard is it going to be to for me to find a new job? Should I just stay and try things out? What next?

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.
