No one ACTUALLY wants to talk about politics at work. However, marginalized people should be able to bring up issues that affect them, especially if they come from within the org.
Saying, "no politics at work" only protects white people, it's a big, "Fuck you" to everyone else.

I'm grateful I didn't have to do a live coding challenge for the job I have now. If 100% of companies did this, I'd be unemployable.
I was able to prove that I know how to code by sharing an open source library I made, and doing a technical talk on how it works with Q&A after.

Making mistakes during technical challenges would cost you a whole job opportunity, but if you made those same mistakes while on the job, you're not going to get fired. Your coworkers will laugh it off and tell you to have a great weekend.

You can tell when a manager doesn't want you to be successful in your role.
