Werkaholic I'm a fairly new fan... got converted on the episode I saw on a flight where Sheldon has to learn how to drive because everyone is sick of driving him around. Needing to return his Star Trek sheets because they stimulate him to much at night to go to sleep! Bwwwwaaahaaahaaa!!

Great coffee, and TimBits are nice too.

Ryan Healy Check out my latest post about why work-life balance is killing corporate cultures. http://bit.ly/2Hohx9 Zappos has figured out how to make working there a lifestyle. They have dedicated employees, great customer service and they just sold to Amazon for over $1 billion because of it!

One of the most difficult things for people is when they get promoted, than have more work to do and also have to manage more people. That's how you end up working around the clock.

Having a coach can really free up time for managers to do what they need to do. Are any other companies doing this?

I'm a bit confused about the popularity of this methodology... I thought it was becoming big 2-3 years ago and then died down, now it seems to be resurging. We have been using phase methodology for IT development but starting to move towards discrete smaller work packages so kinda Agile, but still an overall project to manage these. (hybrid)

We just started doing one-on-one bunny classes for new rabbit owners to help people learn how to train and care for them! Sadly, they're really common surrenders because people don't know how to care for them.

I do only necessary personal things at werk but try to separate my chunks of time otherwise I feel like I need to make it up all the time as I need to know that I have not ripped off the company (even though I have werked way more in the past that would make it up). But like Daniel said, in the end it is and should be just all about the deliverables.
