How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb Politics.

With the US elections just a week away, I’ve started to think more and more about how politics and the workplace intersect.

I’ve always been interested in the nuts and bolts of how companies operate. This is why, at its core, I chose HR over other business paths. People are the drivers of business they say so HR touches on people that drive the business from start to finish. T

Very reasonable approach--this should be required reading for politics fans in traditional workplaces.

And it's interesting that you've seen those experience in person. I just assumed you were being hypothetical because there is such a variety.

I agree with everything you have stated in your blog. At work we have talked about politics, and we have been able to keep it civilized by allowing everyone to speak and not yelling. Our leadership has not told us who they are voting for b/c it shouldn't matter.

The one thing I would like to add is that I feel actors, athletes, singers, etc. abuse their power when it comes to politics. They use the Media to influence viewers to vote in their favor whenever possible.

I went to a concert this weekend and at the end, the band leader said "Have a great night, a good future, and let's hope for 4 years of Democrats". I'm sorry, but I don't think that's appropriate, no matter what party your in favor of.

@Chuck - Thanks.

@Anon - I generally agree. The celeb endorsements are a bit over done.
