Do politics and work mix? It depends

Should people discuss politics in the workplace or keep their opinions to themselves? The answer depends on who you are talking to, according to a survey released Wednesday by the American Psychological Association.

More than a quarter of American workers said they are negatively affected by political talk in the workplace. Many said it makes them feel stressed and less productive. And yet the same survey also found about a quarter of workers forged stronger relationships with their colleagues through political discussions.
