Anyone else sometimes feel weird not being super extra liberal? I'm def a dem and have liberal ideology, but I feel like I definitely don't go as far as my coworkers and sometimes it's like can we forego this talk and make some ads?

I think you’re fine. Honestly, one of the weaknesses we have as liberals is that we’re too damn picky about our allies . Too many purity tests. If you’re not in lock step with everyone as far as exactly how far left you should be, then you may as well be MAGA. It’s ridiculous. The Right doesn’t seem to have that problem. They will get into bed with whoever they can find who didn’t like Biden. As long as you hate some or most of the same people they hate, welcome to the club. On the Left, we oversniff the corks.

I'm pretty far left, but I agree we shouldn't really be talking about nuanced government policies at work.

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role? My co-worker was hired in at manager level but somehow “proved” he was actually doing director level work and got a title promotion and salary increase in less than a year. I also went above and beyond my job as well (covering for him for a month while he was away on paternity leave) while taking on other projects outside of my job title and got zip—no raise or recognition. Any advice would be appreciated!

I met someone in the new city I moved to but they work for Fox News. They are a good person but I can’t get over their employer and they said I was immature for that.
