A Better Working Environment
By Jim Lynch on Jun 29, 2008 in Non-political
Let’s face it. No matter how much we like our jobs, even the best situation could be improved by a better work environment. Not a feel-good-while-doing-nothing green plan, but a real improvement on the place we spend so much of our time.
A quarter of U.S. workers complain of working in gloomy environments that they say could be improved with windows that open or better-looking colleagues, according to a survey released on Wednesday.
Now I don’t know who the people are that they surveyed, but as a group they were easy.
Looking at ways to improve their surroundings, 37 percent of those surveyed chose windows that can be opened, 16 percent chose brightly colored walls, 11 percent said more attractive colleagues and 7 percent opted for a more pleasant odor, the survey said.
So let’s break this down. The boss can make things better by cracking a window, slapping on some paint, and hiring more employee’s like Jenna Fischer
and fewer that look like America Ferrara.
What’s in your office?

We always wanted windows where I used to work (Factory). We had sales ladies from corporate walking by and most of them were lookers too. I did not know how good I had it.

I work at a concrete plant with all guys; even Miss Ferrera would be an improvement.

As long as you get along with your co-workers, I do not really care. But a few Jenna Fischer clones would always make it more enjoyable to go to work, but would make working harder to do.

Mmm . . . Jenna! I absolutely loved her in The Office.
