Working in office is bad for your brain..

Source: Today

LONDON - Working in an office is bad for your brain, according to a study that found that the hustle and bustle of modern offices can reduce productivity by 15 per cent and lead to a 32 per cent drop in the worker's well-being.

LoL.. +1 for Officespace. Seriously I was a victim for the so called 'open office/concept plan'. People are people and we can't really remove the noise and other distractions from the open place. I'm not recommending that we all should be confined to small rooms with sound proof doors but what I prefer strongly is 'telecommute' or work from home. My current company strongly pushes for it so its a win-win for me and I can manage my time much better.

Hope the traditional companies try to be more flexible :)

Transporting foreign workers

Source: ChannelNewsAsia

Finally there is some action and hope I don't have to see the practice of transporting humans worse than animals in Singapore.
Also hope that the so called first world citizens learn to be more humane and treat workers as fellow human beings :|

Just google for the situation. Now I can see some improvement but still there is room for improvement.
Some articles.
