I'd say there's probably more than a few discussions today around the watercooler and via email about mean bosses after a New York Times opinion piece "No Time to Be Nice at Work."

Low and behold, there was an email waiting for me from Nancy with several samples of her work! Just like nail biting or gossip, whining is a bad habit - nothing more - and all bad habits can be broken. I was back in Nevada that same night – I got in around 6:45. Talk about being on the ball. You’ll be so much more empowered!
