Originally posted by DigiNut I also maintain an open-door policy: You can come to my office with any issue at any time of day and I will calmly tell you to fuck off and let me do my job without constant interruptions. I find that this is an excellent system for minimizing stress. At least my own stress.

Yo, Digi? Ya, um... me and my fellow employees are were talking and we're feeling a little stressed out. So we'd like to offer some creative input into the way we run things around here... Uh, Jenny in sales thinks we should get a coffee maker for the lunch room instead of the vending machine, she says that finding change can be very stressful sometimes. Ummmm, *pages rustling* Bob, over in customer service wants 5 minute breaks every hour because he says a regular smoke helps him deal with the stress. Er, my kid has a soccer game at 5:30 and, as you know, we don't end our work-day until 6, I was hoping you could shave an hour off our day so I can take my kid to soccer, it's REALLY stressful having to find someone to drive him every week. So like, we think that these changes would totally ease our stress levels and make us way more productive... what do you think?
