Isn't it a reality that we are least bothered about our fellow workers today in our so called Professional workplace. I wonder what is the fuss about Professionalism.

I seriously beg to differ. As per my understanding, Professionalism is a way of working towards any objective of...

Cubicles have become a staple in the workplace. Those little workstations are the brunt of many jokes. The employees at my office called them cattle chutes whereas others may find cells a better word. Whether you love or hate them, the cubicle is destined to be with us for a good while.

Fax machines are analog. VOIP is digital. They come from two different worlds. Despite the best efforts to get the two to mix, there hasn't been much success. While transmitting the human voice over traditional telephones works pretty well over digital connections, fax data is a completely different story. It's all about packet loss.

I'll be honest, it's nice to have a printer, and to have a few other office tools like a stapler, some folders, and a waste paper basket. But come on, what do you really need in the way of office equipment? It pretty much just comes down to a computer, a way to get on the Internet, a table where you can work, and yes... a...

Here are some points to ponder before looking for love in all the wrong places: - If your office relationships goes bad, talk around the water cooler could get really interesting. How many seconds do you think it takes a scorned lover to reveal intimate and/or embarrassing details about your relationship? - If you simply cannot live without Joe Accounting or Suzy Marketing, (and I repeat, bad idea), avoid the hand-holding, kissy-face, moon-struck behavior at work. Keep things on a professional level, even when you...

Passion. I'm not talking romance novels here folks. I'm referring to your passion.

While I like the fishing idea, the rest of it is unfortunately a foregone method devised in a foregone time in America. The fact is, this is statistically not...
