Does your team or colleagues talk about politics at work? I’m in the non profit space so they come up often, and sometimes with not the best outcomes, but it’s not completely shunned. Is it like that at your place? I know a lot of employers do not allow political discussions in the confines of completing work, but sometimes it is necessary.

It comes up but not in any major way. I think that's mostly because people just brush it aside and don't want to get into it. The truth is that most political talk today isn't really about politics, it's just weird tribalism. A lot of people are just circulating nonsense they picked up on social media, and there's really no point in listening to it, especially if you value your sanity.

Working in a non-profit space politics come up frequently and we have to dive in head first. It stays civil but there are truly moments on the edge. It’s interesting to see how other companies deal. Especially for profit orgs.
