What makes you think you aren't working with a group of such people now? I take comfort in not knowing the opinions and life philosophies of my coworkers. I need to compartmentalize some things so that I can continue paying my bills.



If you learned that you definitely were working with such a person, would that not color the relationship?


Definitely? As in they don't know how to keep their opinions to themselves? That seems to be a separate issue and employees should be coached on this to ensure harmony and prevent witch hunts.

I'm a left wing liberal and atheist but many of my friends are far right conservatives. The easiest way to avoid conflict is to not engage. I learned that when I was in high school.


I mean Im not currently in that situation, and my post is genuinely saying I don’t know what I would do if I was. I can’t imagine being okay with it. Like every interaction with that co worker would become suspect regardless of apparent innocence.
