Q: A new survey found one in four people say this at work is negatively affecting them and their productivity?

A: political talk

A new survey found one in four people say political talk at work is negatively affecting them and their productivity.

Men are twice as likely to say it’s bothering them compared to women.  And that’s probably because men are four-and-a-half times more likely to get into a political argument with a coworker than women.

The survey also found 54% of people REFUSE to get into political conversations with coworkers . . . and 20% are even going out of their way to avoid some of their coworkers because of their political views.
