Social interactions at work

Two good reasons why you should minimize your social interactions at work. 1. REDUCE RISK: Social interactions are risky. You never know who you might offend during your interactions. No matter how careful you are, some fella is bound to be offended by something or other. Especially in this day and age where getting offended is seen as a sign of political correctness. By minimizing social interactions, you are reducing your risk. 2. SAVE TIME: Social interactions take time. The simplest joke takes on average 30 seconds to deliver. In that 30 seconds, you could have typed out half a page on that TPS report. That's 30 seconds closer to meeting that deadline.

Can't help chuckling at the second reason. In my previous job I tried not to get involved in too much empty talk at work for many reasons. I survived.
