With gas prices reaching all time record people are thinking twice of their commute to work. In some cases people are moving closer to work or finding a job closer to home. According to Fortune 500 companies by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) technology companies are at top of the list. EPA states that 94 percent of Intel employees and 91 percent of Microsoft employees are eligible for commuter benefits meeting the agency’s standard. Each year commuting to and from work cost the nation $63.1 billion in wasted time and fuel. WOW!

We come to work expecting to solve problems or follow up with a candidate hoping he/she excepts and even expect to tackle down a few challenges. What happens when things don’t go your way? Most people handle their frustration within themselves and some employees even take a quick walk with a co-worker so they can express what they are feeling. In some rare cases there are employees that snap and cannot control their anger. So ask yourself, am I really having a bad day? With this said you are having a normal day until you react in the following way…




This is the true definition of having a bad day at the office.
