Americans were riveted by a presidential election this week that has captivated their time and attention for several months. The race was expected to be a tight one, but Donald Trump quickly beat out Kamala Harris to win a second non-consecutive executive term.
Some companies may have already made plans for how to keep a calm and centered office during this election cycle. But now that the results are in, workplaces across America may be dealing with a different phenomenon—employees who are devastated by the results. The tenor of this election has been particularly painful to many Americans, and people are anxious about the next few years considering his rhetoric and track record on certain issues. Trump has said he wants to use the military for a massive immigrant deportation push, and set up detention camps along the U.S. border with Mexico. He has talked openly about going after his perceived enemies. And he also previously appointed conservative Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, which had enshrined the national right to abortion.
