Working at Work: Studies show…
I hope that my posting these few workplace-related links doesn’t backfire on me. But, it’s all just in good fun, so, here goes…
While browsing through a new forum that I recently came across, I stumbled upon this funny article that parodies how so-called scientific studies sometimes don’t prove anything meaningful. Check out this article from The Onion entitled: “Study Finds Working At Work Improves Productivity“.
To complement that is another, though less recent, article I came across (via Cnn/Careerbuilder) that explains: “Why bad employees don’t get fired“, which basically concludes with the “mind your own business” philosophy among a few other interesting concepts to ponder.
But, not too worry, the courts have now made it quite clear where the line should be drawn between being stupid versus intentionally misbehaving regarding the posting of politically-incorrect cartoons at work (as evidenced by the recent Dilbert cartoon-posting firing judgement).
People will always have some commentary to make about their work environments; these few links just show that some perceptions might be more universal (or stereotypical? or exaggerated?) than some people might otherwise realize.
