They say you spend more time at your office than at your home.Now with that said then you would hope that your office has some kind of appeal or even basic comfort.I personally cant think of anything that I like about my office except the fact that they have the internet.I could however list a number of things I dont like such as faulty air conditioner,slow computer,no rest rooms,poorly cleaned bathrooms and in gerneral poor ambience. Maybe you have much better luck than I do and have a workplace where you can feel comfortable.What are the thing you like and dislike about your workplace ?

I like my workplace. It is a healthy looking, it has attractive ambience and this is maintained throughout the year. I work in the life insurance industry so the image plays a vital role in this industry so perhaps this could be the underlying reason for this standard. On the other hand, The workers are there for long periods so the place has to be enticing to stimulate work.

I have an office at home now because that is where I work these days and I hardly ever use it since my husband bought me a laptop; I much rather work in the dining room so that I am not away from everybody. Year ago I did have an office outside of home and because, I worked part time for the last few years, I had to share my office with another part timer and, although a very nice lady she did not share my love for organisation and would leave the desk untidy and filthy every night! Our building was lovely like the kitchen and rest rooms. The problem was that people had no consideration and did not bother to clean up after themselves in either areas!

I find that i like the freedom to do my own work as i see fit. I like my boss and my co-workers. I do find sometimes other peoples habits drive me nuts. Like someone not tidying up after themselves. People just saying i dont know when you ask them whats wrong.

Its too warm, it smells, there's no staff room and no cold water dispenser but I have really good colleagues. I dont usually get to sit down during my shift but, on the odd occasion that i do, the chairs are comfortable.

THere no such thing as perfect. It is really the other way around your place of work has it down side yet the upside is that you have good colleagues. My place of work on the other hand is nice yet the downside are some of my colleauges

Hello my friend ronnyb Ji, I feel same thing with my younger son and his wife, who wolrk for one multi national company. They donot spare them evn on week days a stheytke them forouting. What I have understood, it is a policy o all such organisaion to keep their employees away from pthers. So that they do not discuss about their organisation In my case,as long as I was a teacher at young age, none of us liked Principal.She was a Hitlar. My hubby was a sodier,he never liked to work at odd hours and specially with the duties to be done by civilians and they fail to do. Being house wife, at times I donot like my hubby to disturb me at mid-night for any help. May God bless You and have a great time.

Well, i love my office. Because it is in my home. I spend very little time in the office actually doing work. Most my hours working are out in the field. Because i also only have part time help. I do most of the work myself. Most the time iam in my office im doing other things with the computer.

I enjoy the free internet here. It can be openly used anytime and there are no hindrances. Even my Boss does not mind if employees enjoy the internet when we are not busy. We have good ventilation and air-conditioning system too. The place is quiet and very private too. We have free supply of safe drinking water too. I feel comfortable in my office and finds this a second home.

I am actually unemployed and just have the office here at home. I come in my office everyday and have papers every where because my desk is not very big but it goes up four levels its just the level i put all my paper work on is very tiny and there is not room for everything so i have placed a TV stand next to me that i do work off of also so I'm not swarmed with paper in front of me. Everyday i go through the paperwork and throw things away. Usually the things on my desk that is paper are coupons and today i have printed out coupons i received in my email for black Friday so i can save even more money. There is actually three desk's in the office one is mine, then there is my mom's desk then my dad's desk. We all do work in here and its easy to keep things organized and a place to get everything done such as bills and doing things on the computers.

I like my boss they are kind but the bad thing is they are not pair when it comes to salary... Many new employees have higher salaries than Old. That's not fair.

i love the ambiance of our office. every time i'm working, it feels like i'm not working at all. maybe because i do like my job- the computer, the surroundings, my big boss, my officemates and even the pressure that a job often gives you. but the only thing that i hate most was that our auditor was so bias it really stinks. i hate him so much. he was always imposing rules and regulations to his subordinates as if he was the big boss itself. if i do have given a chance, i would love breaking his neck.

i love the place where i work, its too cozy for me and very cold with the AC. However, what i hate is the people i work with. Some of them are not fun to work with, others are okay. But i love my work.
