Dear Debbie:

You wrote that your father used to say, “don’t talk politics, religion or money”- excellent advice and when you have guests in your home, you can announce this guideline. But in the workplace, in other contexts- different people, different rues, or guidelines, or none at all.

You didn’t mention if you voiced your political opinions at work, or if you keep them a secret. Keeping them a secret may make you feel uncomfortable because your co workers voice theirs. What about voicing your opinions, so that you are part of the conversations and interactions, but voice your opinions not in a heated, argumentative way, but calmly, in a friendly way?
