3 reasons to avoid talking politics at work

The president’s job approval ratings are up to around 44%, about as high as they’ve been since he took office. Should you debate the issues of the day? Second, you have some legal protections for discussing politics at work if it relates to your employment conditions. Why add political arguments that are just going to create tension at work to your to-do list? Others say we only actually work for just over two hours a day. You risk alienating valuable colleagues Remember that time when you got into a political argument and, at the end, the other person said, “You know what? You’re right, and you’ve totally changed my mind. Most people don’t want to get into a fight, especially at work. Everyone I know voted for McGovern!” Employers don’t just promote based on how good you are at your current job. Political arguments can do you little good in this, and possibly a lot of harm.
