No one really knows each others views, pasts, personal baggage etc and no one wants to cause offence or fall out with colleagues they generally respect and get on with. We will all still have to work with each other after tomorrow's result.

revelman wrote: » Yes, a number of people I know have come out as No voters. This has a very Brexity/Trumpy feel about it though I still think it will be 55% Yes.

kunst nugget wrote: » Oh, ffs... I work in a pretty conservative area of the country with a couple of very religious and conservative people. I tend not to talk about my opinions in work because it's not worth the hassle. That doesn't mean I'm oppressed or I can equate it to living in a totalitarian state. People need to get over themselves

revelman wrote: » My reference to totalitarianism was probably a bit over-the-top but I know of workplaces where Yes voters are extremely vocal and have been heavily critical of anyone that they identify as a No voter, even if this person has not expressed an opinion. It probably depends on the workplace and most places are probably totally fine. But I would hazard a guess that more No voters are afraid to air their true opinion than Yes voters. You can disagree with me but that is my feeling.

One (more senior) found out the way the other one voted and didn't take to it kindly. I didn't witness it myself but apparently things got a bit sour between them and comments would be made about it at each-other. I think it has been cleared up now but made things uncomfortable.
