Scenario

When colleagues feed each other's political anxiety through social media

My coworker keeps forwarding me the most outrageous political content from Twitter saying 'can you believe this' and I feel like they're using me to process their anxiety about the world falling apart but I have my own Twitter-induced anxiety and together we're just making each other more panicked about things we can't control.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Workplace relationships becoming vehicles for mutual escalation of political overwhelm rather than mutual support.
