Thank you, but I can't take credit - it is something I was taught when I started working in a factory, at age 15, making parts for water taps.
"Who you are when you go home, that's you. At work, no-one cares because we're here to do a job and get paid, that's all." is the gist of what the older men told me back then.

I blame Google for the "bring your whole self to work" nonsense that's completely collapsed the professional work environment. No, man, bring your work self to work and leave the other stuff home.
I blame Google for lots of things, but this one I think is older than them. I'd date it to the 1970s, and the radical feminist ideal of "the private is political". If one grows up being taught that, /everything/ becomes political, including your identity.
As I asked students and colleagues many-a time:
"How do you hammer a nail in, in a feminist manner?"
Never fails to raise hackles, and "feminist" can of course be replaced with any identitarian moniker. It's a good question I think, for showing the folly of making everything political, when almost nothing really is.

Now it's "equity"
