I've been working for about 20 years and I've seen the culture change and, in my view, it was for the worse. When I first walked into a building I would call my place of work, it wasn't the free-for-all, anything-goes environment that previous gener...

The 'ask me anonymously' thing on social media is ridiculous. If you're a woman, especially if you're a good-looking woman, you'll get questions and compliments from thirsty guys and not much else. If you're a guy, unless you have a significant fol...

First of all, there are two references - two Easter Eggs if you like - in the headline. Connecting people, as in Nokia. And people connector as a job title. Like reacher (that's how the author of Jack Reacher came up with the name), and Catcher in t...

I'm one of those people. But I'm getting better. I used to be a hoarder. Not of stuff. Of memories. I used to keep receipts, I used to keep pieces of paper with phone numbers jotted down on them. I still do, but I'm getting better. For example, I...
