Political t-shirt on work zoom call

[Anonymous]

Oh FFS. I clicked on the link OP provided and now all the ads on this thread are from that same company, promoting a whole host of equally enlightened apparel.

Maybe but it’s a strange hypo because liberals don’t make trolling an essential part of their identity. No one would ever wear a shirt that says “I’m vegan and I hope that pisses you off”

It’s because liberals, unlike conservatives, pretend to be tolerant of diverse viewpoints so conservatives like to call out their hypocrisy.

BINGO!

I have had such a bad week that I give no more Fs and I would have probably said "So Eric, you like meat, huh?" and very obviously rolled my eyes for all to see, then I'd have gotten up to get some coffee before he answered.

Congrats on tolerating hate and greed.

Not quite the “mic drop” you think it is.

Not sure I intended to be a mic drop, but it's where my mind when when OP asked their original question.

Congrats on pretending to be tolerate. Only if those agree with your hate and greed are you “tolerate.”

Inappropriate attire, of any kind, will eventually result in the wearer experiencing negative professional repercussions, whether as an obvious direct result of someone complaining or because those who observed the attire resolve to act in a way which reflects the lack of professionalism being displayed. That can mean missing out on promotions, bonuses, better assignments, training opportunities, etc - decision makers will eventually be exposed to the behavior and will react. This will happen whether you're speaking of apparel with messaging which is inappropriate for a professional setting, or of sexually suggestive clothing, or which is sloppy, or too casual for the situation.

There are written and unwritten rules for professional behavior, and violating them will have consequences.

Have zero respect for them and not take their input in the meeting seriously.

Isn’t every person who went to public school or any school quadrupled vaxed?

Measles/mumps/rubella/etc

Isn’t that like wearing a shirt that says

I’m not and idiot + I don’t eat animals or start wars?

This would be as offensive. Banning politically conservative messages but allowing liberal messages is pure discrimination.
