... and refuse to discuss their boss's tRump choice, and can manage only basic civility w/ the boss.
No office lunches, no invites to events, etc.

My staff were all Bernie supporters, all voted or are voting Dem. I gave them the day off today, to be consistent with my belief that voting day should be a holiday.
