Totally depends on the form of the "politics at work". If we're talking about in-depth dialectic aimed at learning and problem solving then I'm all in.

Some other forms that I'd be happy to eliminate:

* Virtue signalling via preaching the doctrine of the party predominant at the company

* Bob from IT talking endlessly about his pet theory of Soros conspiracies

* Portraying politically grey areas as completely black-and-white and deplatforming those that disagree

After reading The Toxoplasma of Rage[1] I can't help but regard the vast majority of current politics with a great deal of cynicism.
