Maybe just keep politics out of work?
I can't stand anyone bringing up anything political at work - regardless of which "side". It's irrelevant and a distraction - I got shit to do.
So if you got shitcanned for it, you'll get zero sympathy from me.
People that insist on keeping politics out of the workplace are the exact same type of people that work for less money than their peers for the military industrial complex, making missiles that turn brown people into hamburger. I find that they also tend to universally hold this grind-culture delusion that rich people are innately better people that earned their wealth and the poor are lazy, stupid scum that deserve to be exterminated and oppressed at every turn.
Politics is humanity.
If you actively encourage others to willingly eschew their freedom of speech or unquestioningly do work that results in the violent murder of innocent strangers without so much as a twinge of guilt in your mind, you are a scab with absolutely no spine and your opinion means jack shit to me.
I’m over 50 I’ve had numerous jobs and I’ve never had a job where the people at that workplace would wanna hear my political opinions. It’s understood you keep your politics out of the workplace. If that means you have no respect for me well so be it. But no one wants to hear your opinion at the workplace and no one wants to hear mine the workplace.
Maybe in your country it’s acceptable, but I’ve had jobs throughout a number of states in the US never had a job where it was acceptable.
As for freedom of speech. Yeah your freedom of speech only applies to what the government can do about you saying something.
Has nothing to do with how your coworkers view you or treat you.
Exactly.
Someone older than a teen understands we have a responsibility to bring people together, create a trusting environment, focused on the job at hand.
So even when someone brings up politics, I simply don't respond, or just ask a work question. Because I know most people doing this want to have their viewpoint validated, and I probably don't agree in some way. This situation helps no one, and just promotes divisiveness.
Work is for work, not for political bullshit.
Political bullshit is alway divisive, and we all work too damn hard to build cohesive teams.
I've seen it many times - if you're one of those that is compelled to bring outside bullshit to work, where we have enough actual related issues to contend with, you'll be left behind. People won't want to work with you, I because you're not a team player and more interested in discussing political crap (or reality TV crap, or whatever) than discussing the very real issues in front of us.
We already don't have enough time for the tasks at hand, last thing we need is such juvenile nonsense.
You want to talk politics, do it on your break, away from me.
And your freedom of speech bullshit argument is nothing more than a sophistry tactic known as a strawman. This reveals you to be a sophist, not interested in discovering truth, but rather in winning an argument.
You even led with castigating me, and continued on with denigrating.
You should probably revisit your intentions and ethics.
A lot of times you can't avoid bringing up politics. For example, let's say you're a person whose rights are under attack in the US, like a trans person. Talking about the threats to your existence and how you're worried that it'll become legal to discriminate against you is "politics", so you're stuck in the position of "let these attacks happen and don't speak up about it, thus ensuring things get worse" or speak up and risk your job.
With many subjects, I agree. But there are other subjects that have been politicized, which really shouldn’t have been. Someone’s sexual orientation shouldn’t be a matter of political debate. If a gay guy mentions their husband, that’s not “bringing up politics”, but many conservatives will treat it as such. I’ve heard all of the “shoving it in my face” comments just because someone dared to mention their partner when asked how their weekend was. In reality, that person is simply existing, and peoples’ existence should never be a matter of political debate.
What does iskaied mean
Isekai, Japanese for different world, is a genre of media usually about someone being teleported from the mundane world to a fantastical one.
And in this instance I mean the word jokingly, like instant teleported to "not having a job land"
I know someone who was fired after responding to a Slack message with an emoji that was interpreted as critical of the CEO of the company, lol. The emoji wasn't offensive or anything, it was just showing support for the message which was if I remember correctly was jokingly criticizing the CEO. I think the employee took up a legal battle after that.
I think it depends on the job and the culture you are in, how replaceable you are, etc. as to how to be instantly fired. I know people who have made mistakes in their job that cost the company lots of money and they weren't fired. I know people who watched TV all day in the open office environment in full view and who weren't fired.

Yeah, but those things are not blows to the CEOs fragile ego like a good old misunderstanding can be.
Bitcoin miner on the computers without permission. (Saw it happen once.)
All our took for me was being too highly paid, I think. Lay offs came and I went. Literally about to present the closing slides for the current phase of a massive project. Was so sure I was safe because of said critical project and was well regarded on my team. (I brought cookies even!) Maybe I was, maybe I wasn't. I was, however, the highest paid in my department.
I work in a highly secured facility so... there's a LOT I could do to get instantly fired. The fastest would probably be trying to get through security with a weapon.
Me: Hey guys, I plugged in this wifi AP to the network so we can work and walk about.
People: uhh, what brand is it?
Me: Huawei, it was super cheap from a dude in the parking lot. Here is the ........... Why am I being harries away be security?
Support human life's and care about others. Usually will get you fired in America really fast.
Leave your porn on a network drive 5 times.
Though, surprisingly, watching porn on the plant computer isn't.
I know of a professor who did this with CP. Good news is he's in jail.
Most any job I’ve ever had: drop a log on the boss’s desk
Two jobs ago: I worked at a teapot factory. If you walked the length of the plant floor and hit the emergency stop on each production line, that would be a good way to disappear quickly.
Definitely talking about unions if you're in the US. I single-handedly saved the company I worked for from a $10M+ data breach, got top performance reviews, and then got screamed at by my boss after I sent an article to a coworker about how UPS drivers had gotten massive raises by unionizing. I was fired a month later for "unprofessional conduct" with zero examples given and despite the protests of the rest of the team I worked with.
Yeah, my work has an anti-union section of the employee handbook. It says they are proud to provide such good benefits that a union isn't needed (definitely not true). And how we need to talk to HR first if we ever feel like our working conditions would warrant one. I suspect you wouldn't be allowed back to your desk if you did that.
In the sense of one day you're there, the other day you're not, may I suggest not realising that you're not looking after your mental health, having a total meltdown and finding yourself walking erratically up the road away from the place in a roughly homeward direction, followed by not being OK ever since?
Actually, no, I take that back. I suggest doing the polar opposite of that. Once that particular Prince Rupert's drop pops, it's an impossible task to put it back together again.
Also, when back looking at it, you'd begin to realise that the warning signs were there all along, so maybe everything wasn't so sudden, or isekai, as you put it, at all.
Unrelated: I can't not hear "he's a guy" when I hear "isekai".
Disagree in any shape or form with the department head it seems by recent events
Start telling everyone I interact with what I really think about them.
If some of the people I work with knew how little time I spend thinking about them, some egos would be severely hurt.
Pissing in the coffee machine your boss uses, in front of a security camera.
Guy disappeared so quick, the CEO interrupted our daily IT stand-up meeting to disable his account and door chip.
At my last job, one of the presales guys was terminated instantly when he tried to expense a client meeting at a strip club.
For my current job, it takes a lot to be fired.
Tagging a wall would probably do it
Go postal.
