I have to wonder and thought maybe someone has done a study. Given the popularity of political radio [right, and what little there is of left - NPR?] and given that people are mostly listening to this on the job, I have to wonder how much this might be affecting productivity and employee relations. How can a person focus on their job when they are constantly taunted by radio raving?
Granted, I live in right wing radio land, but I hear this stuff on radios everywhere I go. I do know of companies where it led to personnel issues as some people were being forced to listen to this stuff due to proximity. In a couple of cases it led to official complaints and administrative actions.
I also know that many companies are finally banning computer games and many internet sites. Some years ago I walked the halls of one company and saw Free Cell up on almost every computer! But no more. Should political radio be next?
