One of my ex employees said 'working with you was hard work, but I 
didn't realise what a pleasure it was workjng in a company where there 
were NO  politics, until I went to work in one where it was all politics'.

Running a company IMHO is about focussing on getting jobs done for 
customers in the most effective way possible. The only criterion is cost 
benefit analysis.

Is it worth doing?

I wasn't there to make any political points, espouse any religions, or 
dictate what my staff should or shouldn't wear.  Just to mange the 
business to make sure people had what they needed to get the job done, 
knew what the job was, that needed  to get done and in fact did get  the 
job done.

I only once commented when the guy with the tongue rings and tats came 
in with blue hair...' 'You are not visiting customers with that' I said. 
  It was gone in a few days.

The problems is that today we are bombarded with political and 
commercial marketing telling us what we *ought*  to be doing.

Most from a moral perspective,. The Left love their moral compasses and 
social justices and all that crap.
Everything has to be Fair.

My schoolmaster dismissed that within a month of arriving in his class. 
He had fought in WWII

"Life is rough, tough and *desperately* unjust, and you had  better 
learn to get used to  it"

Today's whiny little snowflakes have no idea.
