Overview |
Rudeness in the workplace is increasing to the level that
universities are studying it. Everyone is busy, everyone is
stressed, and most people take it out on their colleagues at
one time or another. We’ve all been in a situation where we
need to print something ASAP and someone has left the
printer jammed, or we need coffee and the coffeepot is
empty. Technology is supposed to make life easier and
simpler, but most managers find themselves cleaning up the
messes caused by too many gadgets. How do we use technology
to our advantage, to work smarter instead of harder? |
