I yield to no one in my admiration for the office as a social center, but it's no place actually to get any work done.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't have an office. I sit in a cubicle with everybody else. That's partly so no one can ask for an office, which in a fast-growing company isn't practical. But it's also so I can keep my finger on the pulse of how people are feeling.
Well, one of the things I love about 'The Office' is that it has so much heart.
You don't want the office to be a completely relaxing place. You want it to be a vibrant place.
I have a gorgeous office at home but tend not to write there because there are so many distractions.
You would be amazed how many people call my office looking for work every day.
I love my work, and I feel fortunate to be doing a job I love, but it isn't the centre of my life.
I feel that my work is not in vain, that it does have a place in society, even though it may not be considered that it has a place in society - it doesn't matter.
There's something boring about people who have to go to an office for a living.
In many respects, we really are trying to not run the Social Office like a business, but we do have a strategy. We do have a mission. We are trying to standardize certain things so that our time is not spent on, you know, picking flowers or linens, that we've got standards.
No one goes into the office for fun. You go, and even if you love it, you're there to work.
