Work zoom meeting

[Tripnsweep]

I'm sure some of the "free speech" advocates here will love this.

I mostly work remotely, I don't want to give too much detail, but I have to go to the office maybe once or twice a week. The guy who owns the company, and it's a fairly large operation, is openly Republican and crooked. Like he made political donations to keep state investigating away. So on one of my office visits, somebody I know asked me about Charlie Kirk and my opinion. I told them the truth, which is I'd never watched or listened to him much and was fairly indifferent to his death. I said that lots of people get killed by gun violence so I don't know why this is such a big deal.

Took a while, but that made it to one of the higher ups. Had to get on a zoom meeting about it today, and I told them that when it comes to these things, I don't ask people about it, because it's none of my business and I don't really care. Kind of got the stink eye over it, but I didn't say or do anything out of line. They just wanted to "make sure" I'm not creating a hostile work environment, even though I barely see anyone in person. 

Even if I had said more I doubt they'd do anything. This was just for show more than anything.

I just don't discuss that kind of stuff at work.   Less hassle that way.   I don't compliment women on how they look.   Could get a sexual harrassment claim against me.   I just don't say anything other than work stuff at work.

Never speak of politics at work.   Pretend you didn’t hear it too.

If someone asks you a question you should be allowed to give an honest answer.  That is what CK was fighting for - open dialog, discussion and debate.  Now going out of you way to post opinions is different than answering a question.   I also think the majority of people would feel that a targeted assignation is different that an accident fatality.

Anyone knows when a person is assassinated the proper response is condemnation. Human decency and common sense dictates a sympathetic response. Your inability to do that said everything anyone would need to know about your character.

My question is why do you take a paycheck from someone who is openly republican and crooked?
