Do you debate politics at work?

In Sunday’s ajcjobs cover story, two Atlanta lawyers who vocally debate politics at the office are profiled. As the election season heats up, so do people’s passions about the candidates or the party they support. For some, political convictions are as sacred as religion. As this historic presidential race inches closer to Election Day, it is almost inevitable that water cooler talk will turn to politics. Problems arise when these types of discussions turn into heated arguments that can erode relations between co-workers and decrease job productivity.

Do you discuss political issues while on the job? How should management handle those employees with deeply held political beliefs that wish to express their opinions in the workplace?
