[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 7922414, member: 16729"]That's really sad. But it rings true. Yeah, I've noticed a distinct insistence on the part of dealers that the people they bring into their orbit at their business be conversant in, and/or agreeable to, THEIR particular ideology, what ever that is. There also might be something else involved: I suspect (although I'm no clinical psychologist) that [B]disagreeableness[/B] (part of the Big Five personality traits) is also a personality trait that, perhaps, many people in this particular area of small business have. Nothing wrong with disagreeableness, as men generally are higher in it than women, and it doesn't mean you're a bad person or anything like that. It's almost like they "know what they like, and like what they know." I think I'm mid-range in this area, myself. However, I'd NEVER want my employees to talk about politics, sexuality, or religion at work. Unless I was really backed into a corner, I'd always try to leave my employees and customers guessing as to what I think about things outside of my own knowledge of the business, the hobby, my sense of personal responsibility, work ethic, ethical practice, occasional generosity, and sense of fairness. Anyway, it's a real loss for those businesses that they wouldn't hire you...[/QUOTE]
