Interesting to see the trend to clamp down on workplace political discussion. I’ve found it distracting to myself and disruptive to the workforce in places where politics were openly and actively discussed on corporate channels.

I also think it poses cultural risk, as people who don’t identify with the prevailing strain of political thought can feel afraid to express themselves or even silently hold their views.

In other words, I’m in favor of it--even in the presence of other motives from leadership as you mentioned (defending against micro-coups).

Nice issue, plenty of food for thought!

Appreciated the graph about % of people working in 250-person companies.

Tracks with my experience that most people I know are in some form of medium/large corporate context.

Lots of crappy culture in these places, which leads to lots of unhappy people, and I’m a big believer we can make these places more healthy and wholesome and thus, create happier people.

Excited to listen to your ep with Sam as well!
