"The culinary field may have its own sociopolitical issues, but they certainly aren’t discussed often in the workplace, largely because there simply is too much work to do for the job."
Are you certain about this? I was under the impression that kitchens had a large reputation for foul-mouth, offensive behavior and attitudes, including along political lines.
I have spent a considerable amount of time working in kitchens. Of course there are foul mouths and bad attitudes. But it’s fundamentally a sort of blue collar job, one in which you have to do the work or you’re gone. The harsh language has nothing to do with race or class or anything typically talked about in technology companies. It’s far more meritocratic in a skills-based way than most industries IMO.
