Returning to Work
Although breaking from work for a significant time period can make you feel refreshed, it is daunting to join back with the same motivation and excitement.

Dealing With Competitive Colleagues Made Easy.
If you ask a seasoned employee of a reputed organisation how competitiveness has changed over the years, you’d be surprised to hear the views. While it is good to know that the attitude’s changing, what is alarming is the overly competitive attitude among the colleagues, making it not only difficult to achieve individual targets but also creating a less conducive workplace that is not healthy for a fruitful output. But not all competition is without a reason! Some workplaces are more competitive than the others and therefore welcome cut-throat competition.
Avoid Being Lazy
Avoid Being Lazy.
What’s the point of going to work every day when you pass your work-time reading random articles online or checking out your friend’s vacation pictures on the Facebook or other social networking sites?
