Better Give Back That Stapler.

ron_livingston6.jpgIn Craig Silverman’s most recent Globe Life blog entry, entitled "How to lose friends and make people hate you," (cute, but sounds familiar, doesn’t it?) he discusses a Harvard Business Review study about likeability in the workplace. According to the study, people won't want to work with you if you act smug, sarcastic, or bored or if you obsess over your own workload.

Eh, this is boring. And we have ten million other important things to do (we're kind of a big deal). Anyhoo, we're over it. Let's talk about something more important, like us.

Love the pic. very funny post and insightful! silverman acts like this stuff is new. yeah, people will like you at work if you're nice. mind-blowing. and probably, people won't like you if you're not nice. we should probably wait to see what harvard thinks though.
