Your everyday to-do list at work is probably too full to stop and talk and listen to coworkers. This week, our intergenerational team of Mode/Switchers does it, well, not for you, but near you.
Ken, Emily, David, and I are joined by Gen Z guest Sheila Witvliet to discuss whether political neutrality is practicable in the workplace.
We take up questions like,
When does political conviction become virtue signaling?
Is it professional to be politically neutral?
Should corporations have opinions?
Is talking about politics at work badly better than not doing it all?

“I would disagree…”
See if you don’t agree with me.
