I want to get rid of the office snack basket, shirt sizes for conferences, and more

Ask a Manager

NOVEMBER 4, 2015

The problem is, it’s not really making us happy, but fat. Yes, we eat it — because it’s in our faces 24/7! But that doesn’t mean we want to be snacking all the time or that we feel good about ourselves when we do.
