Does anyone else feel like your political views are, um, "frowned upon" at work? Maybe even by your boss?
I do not EVER discuss the election or politics in general with anyone at work. As many of you are aware, I''m an Independent with liberal leanings, and I do plan to vote for Obama in the election. I work at a small law firm with five attorneys, all of whom are partners (in other words, they''re all my bosses). All five of them are conservative Republicans who plan to vote for McCain and make no secret of it.
I generally get along well with all five attorneys, but I think there would be "whispers" if they knew that I support Obama. I actually considered putting an Obama sign in my yard and/or on my car, but decided not to, partially because of the repurcussions that I might have to deal with at work.
Anyone else in a similar situation?
