 The office – it's a place of intrigue, of labor, and of political machinations. Chances are you spend nearly one-third of your waking hours there. When you think about it that way, it's more than just a paycheck, it's a huge part of your life. It can be rough, filled with landmines. If you're fortunate, you like what you do. If not, you're probably scheming on how to get to the next job. Either way, you need to know how to play the game to be successful.
BBG wants to help you navigate the mine field that is life at work. You've got questions, we've got answers: from email etiquette to your first presentation; from that after-work happy hour to job interview attire; and from water cooler gossip to what you should do about the intern with the tongue ring and dirty mouth (short answer: nothing). We offer up advice from our experiences (with a little help from our friends). Life at work doesn't have to be awful, but it helps if you know what to expect and how to deal with it.

Like every day, throughout the day, you meet. Whether it’s in person, over the phone or in video conference, the more you advance, the more you meet. And meet. And meet some more. |
