Should a workplace EVEN be political?

you would think it is being that I work for a state government. However, politics is not a conversation or at least it has never been in 8.5 years. We talk about the politicians but more from an operational standpoint than ideological.

Isn't it hard not to drift into ideology?

not really. We are mostly either programmers or clerical. Only time politicians come up is when they institute certain workplace policies such as working from home, snow days, new security protocols.

Politicians tell you when to have snow days?

The Governor or the Lieutenant Governor declare "snow days" or office closures for state employees. 

If it's not, then it NEEDS to be.

Whenever you get two people together, you have politics.

Any intellectual social order with a chain of command is political to achieve rank in that chain of command. Social order isn't same thing as genetic order of whom arrived first. it is all about whom controls the behavior of everyone else in the same ideology. Really doesn't matter the topic as it is about who regulates social outcomes tomorrow and next generation arriving one great great grandchild at a time changing the population left alive today.

That time relativity between those dying for whatever reason and those arriving since conceived to replace their ancestry so far.

Is not politics a competition to win loyalty to one's ideas forward by everyone else sacrificing their biological time to make the idea social laws governing tomorrows every day alive?
