Cooling Down the Workplace Political Talk

7/29/16:  There’s no absence of heat in discussions about the 2016 presidential election – not on TV, not in the neighborhood, not in the workplace.  A new survey by CareerBuilder shows just how heated the conversation in the workplace is, with nearly 1 in 5 employees admitting that they have argued with co-workers about the topic.  A press release by CareerBuilder breaks down the survey results, not just about office tension but also about how “political correctness” may affect the workplace.  Most important, the release points out tips about how to keep the temperature down in the workplace and avoid potential harassment problems.
