Do you want to walk over to their cubicle while their talking loudly on the phone and give them a piece of your mind? Shes always humming, whistling, talking loudly on the phone, laughing hysterically (who knows at what?), This happens to the best of us all of the time.

You can change this by having inspirational items around your cubicle (you can also read more on decorating your cubicle here ).

Then you finally do reach a live person and you are so fed up with all of the time wasted, that you start fuming towards the person on the other end of the phone. Now put yourself in that persons shoes. Imagine that you were on the receiving end of the conversation. How would you feel?

So next time you want to make a reservation via phone, hang it up and try OpenTable.com instead! I can then forward it to the particular manager that asked for the reservation, since they can quote the confirmation number to the restaurant, just in case something happens. Until next time, Take care - of your clutter!

Here are some tips to consider: Even if you dont know the answer to their question, tell them that you will get back to them via e-mail, phone, etc. You can avoid this by taking a proactive approach to client concerns. Make sure to give them a timeline of approximately how long it will take for you to get the answer to them.

They can use any other means of communication, even picking up the phone and talking to each other. There have been instances of where employees that sit a few cubicles away from each other prefer to e-mail rather than walk over or call the other on the phone. E-mail is strictly prohibited and is enforced.

It would be interesting to see how many companies would allow for this type of dress code, since quite a lot of places have client visits on a regular basis.
