Work Life

The Problem: Conflicts at work are not uncommon. They can be bothersome for
organizations, but can be catastrophic for employees.

The Source: The underlying reason can be surprisingly simple - a bit of a tendency to confuse "private life" with "professional life." What's the difference?

Well, certainly there is a lot of overlap. But, basically, you can pretty much just be
yourself in a personal relationship - hey, whatever. Your friends will accept almost
anything you do and are! That's what friends are for!

However, a professional setting is different. There are unexpected sensitivities to consider! The policy and procedure manual. The law. The salary. The mortgage.
Things like that. It makes a difference! Of course, you have friends at work, people
you become close to. But it's helpful to remember that, bottom line - you are at
work to support your economic situation, and that calls for a bit more caution and
care! (Not that you can't have fun at work!)
