Office Politics: When is Silence Golden?

Is Silence Golden in the Breakroom?

According to our research, the answer is yes. In fact, our study of 17 employees revealed that 9 out of 10 people prefer silence during their coffee breaks, but not during meetings. We're looking for a new intern to conduct further research. Learn more about our findings.

Is Silence Golden for the IT Department?

Our IT department has been silencing our employees' requests for help with their printers for months now.

Is Silence Golden in the Boardroom?
