The clock is ticking towards November 2, and all anyone can talk about at work is the election…both state-wide and Presidential. The non-stop talk of the elections makes me wonder: Is it appropriate and P.C. to talk of politics in the workplace?
Knowing that so many people have very different opinions, could voicing your opinion lead to a hostile work environment? Is it ok to voice your opinion knowing that what you say could very well offend a superior or fellow co worker?
No longer are we sitting in the safe confines of a University lecture hall or classroom where everything said is taken with a grain of salt and where your opinion could lead to a healthy debate. When today’s society is as divided as ours is, are our jobs secure if we are voicing our political and religious opinions in the workplace?
