Just before the 2016 election, we issued an internal memo that political and/or religious conversations were not appropriate.

Not a RULE, but guidance that it can be divisive and that folks should concentrate on work during work hours, whilst physically at work.

One person quit as a result - and, frankly, everyone was relieved. She was a hateful person that wouldn't shut up about her politics.

I agree - it's crazy that this is controversial. We are a much stronger and more unified company as a result of this policy.
