Google’s first all-hands after 2016 election [video]

it has become very difficult to not talk about politics & policy when having a tech discussion at work (and even on LinkedIn) today. The previous stance, that "tech should be neutral" has been, and remains a cowardly position to take by management.

Personally not a fan of google's ideology but I really appreciate their openly addressing the politics-elephant in the room.

Talking politics at work is only ok if it's left wing. Mocking Trump and his voters, calling people racist and morons, that gets you an applause. Showing understanding for the opposite site gets you in trouble. That's chapter one of "surviving in the workplace in 2018".

The opposite side, with its “very fine people”?

50 million voters in US only with above average income/education. The fact they voted for Trump doesn't mean they would share all his faults, and it doesn't even mean that you can describe them before you can critizice them, call them offenders, and a long list of "very fine things".
