Offices and Slack channels abuzz with post-debate discussions #

Offices and Slack channels were abuzz with discussions about the presidential debate held the night before. Opinions were divided on Joe Biden’s performance and whether he should step aside. Some even pondered on potential replacements. The impact of such debates on productivity and team unity was a concern for many chief executives. A few companies attempted to ban political conversations at work, leading to employee resignations. However, larger firms have implemented similar policies without significant backlash. Discussions on politically sensitive topics are being discouraged by companies such as Meta and Google.
