My policy is, you want to talk about politics or something that's charge subject at work, you can do that in person, on azume call, on your own time. I think during business hours, when you're getting paid, do start conversations on slack will lead to chaos because of the emphithy issue. So what i told my team was, if you wants to talk about politics when we're having lunch, and people have opped it in, to go to a lunch and talk about politics. Completely reasonable. Now, i know a lot of us are working remote, so perhaps it might be o k for a group of people, or a small group of people
