And you don’t have to be directly involved in a squabble to feel the effects of it – even employees who witnessed a co-worker being insulted or berated performed poorly on cognitive exams. Do you have any good office gossip about co-workers or bosses being rude? (Of course you do.) Dish in the comments section, below. The more cringe-worthy the stories, the better.

We’ve all seen them: “Sent from my Verizon Wireless Blackberry”, or “Sent from my iPhone”. It seems like just blatant marketing on the part of the phone manufacturer or service provider, but in the business world it’s come to be seen as an excuse for a sloppy or short email. It’s even worse if the signature has this tacked onto it: “Sent from my iPhone sorry for typos.” Proofread, people. Make sure there aren’t any typos, even if you need to stop walking, eating, or talking to do it. Lifehacker suggests including the reason for you...

So little Johnny has the genes to be a sprinter, push him in that direction (whether he enjoys it or not)? One can also think of more disturbing uses, like using such a test for embryo election (excuse me, I’ve been in a reproductive rights course this semester, so these issues are top of mind!).Overseas clinical trials under the microscope—concern whether medical and ethical practices are being adhered to in developing countries.

No, I’m not doing (or trying to do) 36 things at once. It’s just that’s what happens when you give a dumb human like me the tools to open up 36 or 72 or 172 windows at once. It’s no wonder it’s so easy to lose track of where we are and what we’re doing. Welcome to the wonderful world of multi-tasking. That modern marvel where companies and bosses expect us to perform miracles simply because the technology allows it. Nobody bothered checking with the human brain first to see if multitasking was even a good thing. Well, until not recently. Turns out that multitasking is generally not a good thing. Need proof? A whole generation (the “Net Gen”) is growing up supposedly learning and do...

Workers suffer daily from poor decisions made while bad bosses get rewarded because…1. Blame usurps the  courage it takes for change. Look at those who learn the skills for change that improve any workplace and you’ll also see laughter, good will and passion for growth. 2. Action plans for peaceful solutions  appear missing on the opposite side. Consider the person who longs for peace when a leader insists on war, for instance. Naming the problem repeatedly can add an advantage to the bad leader … if there is no solution to violence proposed. 3. Poor tone separates decisions from benefits that could come from other choices. Some people just o...

You’ve likely met them….  He’s mean… she’s a grump … they’re moody…. You just want to hit the back button and restart their day and yours. But the fact is – more than 62% of the study’s respondents said nothing at all is done.Worse still ... senior managers tend to turn a blind eye – while workers walk into dragon dens day after day. Yikes! These guys often look for fights more than solutions.... defend themselves like Banshees defend  water in a desert battle … and  stick to stubborn opinions in spite of evidence that supports any opposite views.
