I have to draft some communications to leaders at other companies. Cards and emails with compliments make the best cubicle decorations!). We beat our 2011 Q3 sales record! You all—yes, even those of you who don’t work in sales—did not just contribute to this success, but you made it happen. You write the best emails.

It was already hard to hear candidates/clients with everyone talking all the time, but CEO had read that a sales company somewhere had a gong in the office and they banged it whenever they made a sale, which caused excitement and made people work harder I guess. The aggressive sales. ‘Sorry.

According to billing company Chargify , startup founders end up juggling multiple roles, including CEO, product manager, and sales representative.

While the benefits of knocking down those cubicle walls are real, it’s true that open offices can be messy, noisy affairs. The open-office is great for work that requires high levels of communication and collaboration, but not so great for focused work. In fact, we’re in the midst of a backlash against the open-office concept.

There’s no commute, no on-site staff, no cubicles or workstations, no front desk, no communal fridge or parking lot, or storage closet. In other words, people who work in a virtual office still meet, communicate, and collaborate with each other—just not from within the same building. Optimize your internal communications.

Gift card giveaways for major project completions or sales. Buy a bunch of $25 gift cards to Amazon or local restaurants, put the name of each team member into a bowl and select one at random each time a big sale is made or project completed. Most businesses experience a decline in sales/business activity during the summer months.

To be honest, if any of the interns I work with were treated like this by their employers, I would be in their office having a talk with them about appropriate channels of communication. If you agree with me, how do I communicate this to my managers? Am I just being over sensitive or is Facebook the wrong way to give feedback?

We do allow a third party to speak to us in particular circumstances, such as if an applicant has a disability or communication issue. Yesterday, Veronica approached me in my cubicle and said, “You parked in my spot!” I know they are not backfilling positions given the sale. I actually thought she was joking.

We work in an industry that is rife with technical terms, but she is actually adding to the pile by borrowing jargon from other fields, such as project management, and using them in day-to-day communication. I sit near a bank of cubicles that are mostly occupied by temporary workers. Nobody else at our office does this.

I manage a team of five, all volunteers and all at varying degrees of experience when it comes to professional communication, time management, and problem solving. We heavily support our sales team, and my three peers and I were recently invited to a blank agenda meeting during end-of-year sales days. It was super awkward.

I find the abundance of Christmas lights, and decorations, and sales, and advertisements, and everything that pops up as soon as Thanksgiving is over… exhausting. All that aside, we’re a public library, not a religious institution or a store with holiday sales to advertise. What to say to a grieving manager.
