Get a Glimpse of Other Workers' Cubicles

SavvySugar — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 10:33:25 -0700

We spend so much of our weeks at work that our offices can seem like a second home. And our cubicles and desks can develop a sense of style (or clutter) of their own. You see your co-workers' desks all the time, but here's an opportunity to glimpse into strangers cubes. When you're finished clicking through, pick up your camera and snap a pic of your own workspace - then join my Capture Your Cube group and share with the rest of us!

It's tough for employees to keep their chins up and maintain rah rah attitudes when their colleagues are receiving pink slips and their companies keep making budget cuts. Sustained economic related stress at work has pushed job satisfaction increasingly lower, and according to a new survey from Workforce Institute at Kronos, morale is suffering at a large percentage of companies that have gone through layoffs. How would you rate morale at your workplace?

Office Space: Take a Deep Breath With the Breathing Partition

GeekSugar — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 11:05:29 -0700

At times, I feel the need to take my laptop and head down to the park to work in the grass. You know, be a little closer to nature in this high-tech world. But with deadlines looming, I can't always make the trek and leave without a power source. But this genius Breathing Partition I saw on Yanko, could bring my two worlds together after all.

Thick slots in the attractive cube dividers make for a green home for your plants and grass, to turn your office from dull to alive. A self-watering system ensures that grass will never be greener on the other side of the office (cause you neglected to do your gardening duties), and I'm especially in love with the patch of grass that acts as a foot rest - how cool is that?

Get Office and School Supplies For Pennies

SavvySugar — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 04:30:48 -0700

Pennies aren't just for picking up anymore. This back to school season single pennies can buy brand new supplies at stores like Staples and Office Max. They're offering weekly penny deals, for example, this week each store is offering folders for $0.01 a piece.

Retailers are hoping penny sales will draw customers in and they'll purchase other items while swooping up sale stock. Paula Rosenblum from Retail Systems Research explained, "Retailers are trying to stimulate demand. This is about getting people into the store. If you end up buying ink refill for your printer, the retailer has made back the money."

Hiring Managers Share the 20 Strangest Employee Complaints

SavvySugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 10:30:22 -0700

Complaining about your co-workers to your office's or department's hiring manager is only acceptable when the issue is actually intrusive and hinders your ability to be an effective employee. Some workers have interesting ideas of what managers care to spend their time deliberating, and CareerBuilder gave these office referees a chance to vent by asking them about the strangest employee complaints they'd received.

I'm convinced that some employees are just bored, and some are really meant to work by themselves at home. Check out the top 20 complaints below; which do you think are the strangest?

Employee is too suntanned.
