FEBRUARY 15, 2016

FEBRUARY 15, 2016

I’ve seen employer attempts to create “fun workplaces” go horribly wrong … Instead of fostering cooperative happy, and more productive environments, it spawned competitive, entitled and ineffective environments. What was designed to create camaraderie and show appreciation developed into something divisive and disparaging. decided workplaces couldn’t be fun. It simply wasn’t possible. Ffff the fun, yo!
