I typically try not to talk politics at work but this week it feels inevitable with the election especially since healthcare is so politicized. How do you plan to handle election related conversations at work this week?

Honestly politics never comes up at work. And if it does this week, I'm not getting involved. That's my policy and I'm sticking to it.

A very good question 💡
I personally have very strong opinions about which direction I would like to see our country go towards but this topic is also very personally opinionated with others, so I feel it’s best not to talk about religion and politics with people, as we’re all entitled to our beliefs and opinions and nothing is gained by engaging in conversation with these topics, to what cause? It wouldn’t change their minds to my beliefs, nor theirs to mine . *Truth*

I would avoid politics at work with coworkers and patients. Walk away or make yourself busy.

Good not to talk about sex, politics, religion or money at work. That can be difficult. At the same time, you can choose - as I can - to turn the conversation away from any of these four subjects to avoid misshapen words or opinions. It's easy to see when the words come out unexpectedly. I take the above medicine. And I noted what I didn't want to say after one sentence.

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?

Our employee satisfaction survey is tied to our performance goals. Meaning, if we rate management badly, we cannot meet 10% of our goals which in turn affects our bonuses and raises.
