Work and Politics
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
We’ve sold out!!!
We don’t talk politics at work! We think it’s off limits! We think that how we vote is our private business. We think ONLY we know unless we tell someone.
I was listening to the returns two weeks ago, when a news commentator showed a circle graph of the voting percentages by republican, democrat, independent, libertarian, etc, for individual candidates. THEY (political parties, TV news shows, etc.) knew exactly how we voted and for whom! I thought, “How crazy it that?” There’s nothing private about politics!
So we go along “the road MORE traveled.”
The more we don’t talk about almost anything at work, the more we’re isolated and potentially influenced by the message. It’s the old Mushroom Theory of Management … keep all employees in the dark and feed them “waste.”
Candidates (parties) talk (trash) to and about other candidates (parties) all the time … AND we don’t talk politics? Crazy, again!
Let’s talk politics!! … I think what happened two weeks ago was TERRIBLE … no GREAT … no …! Oops!
What happens in your office when people talk politics? What’s happened to you? What do you do versus what you’d like to do?
Where and with whom can and can’t you talk politics?
The 30th US President, Calvin Coolidge, is quoted as having said, “No man ever listened himself out of a job.” Interesting, huh?
