Is this you, fflo? Reading your thoughtful reply makes me think my office situation is just fine the way it is. People talk more or less privately about their politics, not in groups. So no one feels alienated the way I did in a previous job. I remember when I worked for this security software company in Germantown, MD, during the dang-blasted 2000 election. There were people openly saying nasty things about Gore when he at first wanted FL votes to be recounted. It was then that I realized I was surrounded by techie Republicans. It was a "hostile work environment," to be sure.

Speaking of your earlier post about language, fflo (and the link which I'll have to read 5 x before I can say anything about it), we had a female CEO who'd use the metaphor "gang-tackling" during "all-hands" meetings. During the last such meeting I attended, she told us that for the good of the company, some of us were going to have to be separated, or something like that. Then she told us to go back to our offices, and wait until our bosses told us who had to go. When I was told, my boss was crying. She hadn't known about it beforehand. I had wanted to leave that job--but leaving in that way isn't something I'd wish on anyone.
