Dear Cr-Abby from Fed Up in New York

BOSS'S POLITICAL PONTIFICATING WEARS OUT THOSE AROUND HIM

DEAR CR- ABBY:

I work for a small, family-owned business. The owner has strong political views and insists on listening to a political talk show during the afternoon, with the volume turned up quite loud.
My boss assumes that his views are everyone else's and talks to customers as if his opinion is gospel. I have watched them roll their eyes and try to get away. I have worked here for three years, and I can't take it anymore. My co-workers say I can't say anything because he owns the business, and he can do whatever he wants. I have looked for another job, but this is a small town and jobs are scarce.
I think it's inappropriate to force one's political views on anyone, especially employees and customers. What's your take on this?

Dear Fully Sated with Big Apples,

You should walk into your bosses office and say.."Hi Boss, I got you a gift (Bose noise cancelling headphones) I suggest you use them when you are listening to Rush Goofball as the rest of us have had about enough or his nonsense as well as "W"'s.
If you don't turn down the koolaid dispenser I may have to sue your formerly protected GOP butt. I tried to get a new job but your party hosed the economy so bad there arent any jobs.
By the way, in case you are thinking of firing me, you might want to check that idea with a lawyer...in just a few days a new President will be installing a number of people from the opposite side of the political spectrum in various administrative positions like the EEOC, AG, etc.

They tend to frown on hostile work place environments and/or punitive terminations. Who knows I might end up owning your business

BTW; do you make more than 250K? If so, I ge it...but if you don;t here are a few other channels you might want to tune into.

Cr-Abby
