Comma use with conjunctions
Must I use a comma with the conjunction "or" as in:
An employee with her arms crossed could be signaling hostility or she could simply be cold.
An employee with her arms crossed could be signaling hostility or she could simply be cold.

As a general guideline, use the comma when you need a 'breathing space', and/or when one or both clauses become long and complex. In your example, I would put a comma after 'hostility'.
