I'm not talking about government here. Sure fight the status quo of the government. I'm not applying centrist politics. It's neutralist, without left, right or center entering the equation. I know this never works when you're in HR, but it's not theoretical.

Yes there are work environments that deserve abundant politics, rebellion & real resolutions. But most people aren't working in Vietnamese sweatshops or diamond mines in the C.A.R.

  “There is nothing that is not political. Everything is politics.”
Politics - Achieving and exercising positions of governance for organized control over a community.

It may be in many places & affect many things but it does not encompass everything. Absolutists are always wrong eventually (no matter how satisfying the quote is).

And being in a management position at a company doesn't strike you as organized control of a community?
There's no point talking anymore given the fact they you two don't think apoliticism is even possible.
That's the narrow definition; I'm talking about the wider conception of politics.
