Are you afraid to share your political beliefs with coworkers?

TL;DR
Let's not shit where we eat.


It's an absolute no for me! A coworker is a wonderful person and a very helpful senior, but one fine day I saw him having way different views politically and the next day I just couldn't sit beside him because of the facts he chose to believe. Mind you, he is a very helpful soul! It took me time to accept that we can have stark opposite views and yet be on good terms professionally(though ethically he might be wrong, but I don't know what he went through to believe that, and felt it's not necessary to bring baggage to office).

So, just don't discuss it. Even though all of us think one political leader is bad, they might be God level for the others, because we didn't have the same journey. Put efforts to educate your circle of friends and family. Colleagues, if they are just colleagues, it's a wasted effort and creates toxic workplace.

And do not get me started on the anti-feminist, classist, racist, casteist men and women around in IT!

So, let's not shit where we eat.

Do you feel like you're sitting out on things or is it just not breached within the workplace?
