Currents: Have Meaningful Discussions at Work
Is work really the place for &quot;meaningful discussions&quot;?<p>To me, meaningful discussions is talking about philosophy, religion, political theory, introspecting the roots of one&#x27;s own psychology, etc. That&#x27;s not really what work is for. At work, one needs to focus one&#x27;s discussions on the job – of course, you can talk about outside work stuff, but I&#x27;m always careful to try to keep it shallow and non-controversial. I&#x27;m not about to start debating the existence of God with my work colleagues, as much as I really love that particular debate. Nor am I going to drill into the impact my parent&#x27;s divorce had on my own psychological development.
