*Please note the tongue-in-cheek look I have as I write this, it’s just a joke, m’kay?* Angela caught a glimpse of the TreeBlog a couple of days ago and decided to take a picture of our Christmas tree and send it in, (she’s proud of our little tree, what can I say?) submitted by both…
Linked – Why lack of communication has become the number one reason people quit
“A 2014 survey from About.com found the top three reasons why people do not like their jobs — accounting for 62 percent of responses — were communication related.
