Communications in the workplace can be mind numbing... or it can mean everything. Of course the water cooler fodder can be the mind numbing part – as can be the overly comfortable and overly friendly employee who has a tendency to stop in your office several times a day to just sit down and chat. They’re good workers, so you’re not about to fire them, but they stop in at the most inopportune times bringing your current productivity level to a halt. Ugh.
