Are some topics too political to talk about at work?

If you cringe when some co-workers start talking politics, you’re not alone.

Etiquette expert Anna Post, the great-great-granddaughter of etiquette expert Emily Post, tells The Wall Street Journal you only should talk about politics as it directly relates to or affects your work.

Your views as a private person should be kept to yourself, she says.
