Corporate Culture Clash?

[RACooper]

What I was actually looking for was accendotal accounts from people who have noticed this or who haven't...

While some corporate cultures have managed to remain aloof from politics outside of the office, others it appears have not. Over the years it has become more noticable that some people have let global events influence office politics. In a post earlier in this thread (unfortunately deleted?) I was discussing the changing attitudes in the workplace in regards to dealing with in this case non-Americans - that are classified by others and themselves, Canadians or Europeans.

If you look at my sig. you'll notice a quote of mine that sums up to a degree what has happened. Some people because of 9/11, Afghanistan, and Iraq have rediscovered their patriotism... and some unfortunately have instead become nationalistic. An effective workplace must be considerate of others, and I have always held to the belief that politics and religion aren't exactly subjects that should be debated in the office, they are personal or private matters in my opinion. Unfortunately some have decided that politics and religion should be part of daily life in the office, and have taken to expressing or challenging others on politics or religion... and people are leaving (myself included) as a result.

PS> Rudey you'll also note that my first post in the thread did in the begining make a mention of personal experience I believe...
