What the heck is growing in my office drawer? De-cluttering the hybrid office

We live in a society characterized by relentless consumerism. We not only desire the latest at-home workout mat, but we also expect it to be delivered on the very same day, at an affordable price, and accompanied by a flawless 5-star rating. If you happen to misplace that HDMI cable, whether it's for your child's new video game console (or perhaps your own guilty pleasure), a simple click of a button ensures its arrival by 5 pm.

Is Mentorship Dead?

Back then, describing me as "green" would have been an understatement. I occupied a spacious office space that felt right out of a scene from "Glengarry Glen Ross," armed with nothing more than a phone and a photocopied Dun and Bradstreet NYC business directory. This was right after I had completed a grueling five-day training session with six other individuals, all crammed into a cramped conference room on the 39th floor of 535 Fifth Avenue.

A Nostalgic Look back at Office Work in the 1990's - Office 90s

The most terrifying moment in my life occurred when I stepped out of the dim and suffocating graduation hall, only to be greeted by the blinding brightness of a spring day in Upstate New York. The New York City of the mid-'90s was a harsh and unforgiving landscape, where job opportunities were scarce, unless, of course, you were young, determined, and naive enough to accept a job peddling anti-glare screens to irate head traders on cutthroat trading floors.

Why I Hate Ted Lasso

I despise Ted Lasso to such an extent that I binged a whole 10 episodes in a single day. My disdain for the show arises from the fact that it compelled me to discreetly wipe away tears at least once in every episode. My loathing stems from how severely I preconceived the show, despite it being one of the most astute, humorous, and heartwarming series you'll encounter this year.
