Political discussions on the job cause many employees to feel stressed, argumentative, and less productive, according to a survey released by the American Psychological Association. More than one in four younger employees reported feeling stressed out because of the political discussions at work, and more than twice as many men as women said political talk is making them less productive. Potential negative outcomes includes feeling more isolated from colleagues, avoidance of others with a different view, and an increase in workplace hostility. You may want to reduce political discussions if these complaints match your experience.
