          Mike Vardy 5th December Your Job 3 Comments

            One of the primary elements of ensuring a job is well done is often through the use of research. But a lot of people simply hate research.

            Yet it really isn’t.

            But you can fall in love with research if you know where to look. That, however, requires — you guessed it — research.

              Secret Santa 101: 5 Great Rules to Gift By

              Mike Vardy 1st December Office Life 6 Comments

                Well, December is here.

                As the year comes closer to an end, the current atmosphere around the workplace falls somewhere between ultra-stressed for some and collective relief for others. It’s more likely that if you’re reading this post you’re feeling more of a sense of accomplishment, mixed with optimism for what’s to come — and perhaps a little dash of regret as well. To that end, the holiday season has begun, and if your office is like so many others you’re holding a piece of paper with someone’s name on it that reminds you as much.

                That’s because you’re their Secret Santa.
