POM Wonderful Presents The Greatest Movie Ever Sold (2011) Is it possible to fund a movie using only produc t placement money? The Greatest Movie Ever Sold (2011)is another masterpiece from Morgan Spurlock, who grabbed the worlds attention with his first hit documentary Super Size Me. The premise of the movie is simple enough can you fund a whole documentary film using only the money you get from sponsors and product placement? Its not unlike his Super Size Me challenge, but thankfully, this one doesnt involve barfing up food from a car window. You follow Morgan as he goes from brand to brand, pitching the movie and the idea, and in some cases begging for sponsorshiop money. There a varying levels of sponsorship available, but the primo spot is actually getting your brands name in the title of the film. As you can see, POM Wonderful were convinced to take that offer. The movie is worth watching just for the TV spots Morgan picthes to the POM Wonderful executives. A fun, and funny, film that teaches you a lot about strategy, Objectified (2009) A Movie About The Objects That Surround Yo u Objectified (2009) is another dive into the world of design by Gary Hustwit, who also directed Helvetica. In Objectified, Hustwit goes a little broader than a film purely about typography, and in doing so cannot paint nearly the lavish picture. But saying that, Objectified is still an excellent and thought-provoking movie, and still one of the best documentaries made on the subject of industrial design. Objectified examines the relationship that we, as consumers, have with the many products and objects around us. Everywhere, in so many ways, products are part of our lives, and they have all been designed. We drive to work in cars, work on computers, make calls on cell phones, wear shoes, watches, rain coats, eat pre-packaged food, and all of it has been touched by a designer. Sometimes, not for the better, either. The September Issue (2009) A Fly-On-The-Wall Documentary of Life at Vogue Magazine The September Issue (2009) is an expos of the biggest fashion magazine out there, Vogue, and the woman who controls it all. Her name is Anna Wintour, she is the Editor-In-Chief at Vogue, and she rules the world of fashion. Anyone whos ever seen The Devil Wears Prada will already be very familiar with the story here, although to be fair our lead here is much more likable than the demon played by Meryl Streep. That being said, Wintour is a strong woman, professionally uncompromising, and rules her world with an iron fist in a couture glove. She has to be. Anyone operating at this level, under this kind of pressure, cannot afford to be anything other than a powerhouse. Exit Through The giftstoff Shop (2010) A Documentary That Only Banksy Could Have Made If you know the name Banksy (and if youre in this business and dont know it, where have you been?) then you already have a solid foundation for graffiti art and anti-establishment design. In fact, the name Banksy is so powerful that many people will be surprised to learn that this is not a film about Banksy himse lf, but rather an eccentric French chap called Thierry Guetta. But that doesnt make Exit Through The Gift Shop any less interesting. Far from it. Helvetica (2007) An Exploration of a Typeface If youre reading this review, you should already know Helvetica - if not by name, then definitely by appearance. It is perhaps the most popular typeface of the last half centuryand has never gone out of style. But before we get into the film itself, a little background Helvetica is a typeface that was designed over 50 years ago, in 1957, by the type designer Max Meidinger. In the late fifties, there was a revival of older sans-serif typefaces like Akzidenz Grotesk (still used today) and Meidinger was commissioned by the Haas Type Foundary, in Switzerland, to design a new sans serif font in this style. He used Akzidenz Grotesk as a basis for his new font - Helvetica (a name derived from Helvetia, the Latin name for Switzerland). The rest, as they say, is history. Lemonade (2009) Its Not a Pink Slip, its a Blank Page. If theres a movie that sums up the current economic climate for creative professionals in America, its Lemonade. The synopsis provided by IMDB.com includes this startling statistic More than 130,000 advertising professionals have lost their jobs in this Great Recession If thats not enough to send a shiver down your spine, you must have a really secure job (is there such a thing?), be independently wealthy, or you just dont care. Alas, most of us have none of the above, and thats why Lemonade is such a great movie to watch. Milton Glaser To Inform Delight (2008) A Documentary Following The Work and Outlook of Milton Glaser Say Milton Glaser to anyone associated with art, design or advertising, and the reaction is usually one of respect and awe. Milton Glaser is responsible for some of the most important and archetypal pieces of graphic design done in the twentieth century, including the I ? NY logo, Bob Dylans psychedelic hair, and the bullet logo for DC comics (1977 - 2005). To say he is an icon would be to undersell the meaning of the word. And in 2009 he was awarded the National Medal of Arts by President Barack Obama. If anyone deserves a documentary movie about their lifes work, its Milton Glaser. And Milton Glaser To Inform Delight is quite the homage.

How Your Credit History Can Impact Employment

How Your leistungspunkt History Can Impact EmploymentHow Your Credit History Can Impact EmploymentWhy do employers check leistungspunkt history? Employers use leistungspunkt reports to judge how responsible and financially stable you are. The results of a leistungspunkt check can hinder your chances of getting a job offer if your credit report isnt top-notch. In most states, employers can, with your permission, check your credit history as parte of the job application process and what they discover can be an issue for job seekers. What Employers Can and Cant Learn From a Credit Check Your credit score and credit report are not interchangeable, even though many people use them that way. Your credit score, the three-digit number that signifies your loan-worthiness to lenders, is not part of the report thats available to prospective employers. So, when you authorize a credit check, youre not sharing your digits, so to speak. Of course, theres a lot that employers can learn from th e employment-screening version of your credit report, even without that score. That includes how much credit you have, how much credit youre using, and whether youre habitually late with your bills. In short, employers get all the information that goes into making up your credit score, but not the score itself. However, they cant learn anything without your permission. Before a company can run a credit report for employment purposes, they must notify you in writing and get your written authorization. As of 2018, 11 states go even further than that, limiting the degree to which employers can use credit checks in making employment decisions. For example, California prohibits most employers from gathering credit information for the purposes of making hiring decisions. The exceptions include specific jobs including managerial roles, law enforcement jobs, or positions with the state department of justice and certain responsibilities, such as transferring money on the employers behalf o r regularly having access to more than $10,000 during a workday. Credit Report Red Flags What items in your credit report could be a problem when it comes to getting hired? There are several red flags that employers are going to pay attention to if they run a credit report and use it as part of the decision-making process. Ken Lin, founder and CEO of Credit Karma, shared information with The Balance Careers on the items in a credit report that may appear as red flags to employers. These red flags include Liens - Any type of lien against you could be a sign of irresponsibility. It suggests to employers that you werent responsible enough to pay off your debt or negotiate a settlement. 100 Percent Credit Utilization - This shows employers that youre in over your head and cant stick to a budget. Bankruptcy/Foreclosure - Again this shows a lack of responsibility for things youre committed to. To an employer, this could suggest that youll bail on large projects and arent resourceful enough. Recent Late Fees - Recent 30-, 60-, or 90-day late fees show finances are causing you significant stress. This activity may appear as more of a red flag for financial positions because it suggests you have trouble budgeting. Significant Activity - A recent opening of several new accounts or closing of several accounts could appear as a red flag. Significant new activity may trigger employees to think you are desperate and need extra credit because you are in over your head. Closing several accounts could appear as a sign that you arent good with money and dont know how to avoid charging up a large sum of debt. What to Do If Youre Worried About a Pre-Employment Credit Check Familiarize yourself with your credit report. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, youre entitled to a free credit report from each of the three major credit reporting agencies every 12 months. These reports contain similar information to the employment-screening report that would be available to a pro spective employer. (You can also get your free FICO score, but thats less relevant to your employment situation.) Fix anything thats incorrect. A 2012 study from the FTC found that one in five American consumers had an error on one of their three credit reports. Five percent of consumers had an error that was serious enough to lead to them paying higher rates on loans. Its possible that a mistake is all thats standing between you and getting hired. Dont be scared off by a potential issue on your credit report. What seems serious to you might not phase an employer. Or, you might be able to provide a reasonable explanation for a negative item and convince the hiring manager. If you think the employer is using credit reporting as a cover for more discriminatory practices, dont hesitate to contact the ?Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. They can determine if the employer is using credit reporting as a viable part of its screening process related to business necessity. Be prepared to explain your situation (but wait to be asked). Dont bring up your credit history unless asked again, you never know what a hiring manager might take in stride. But, be prepared to give context to anything negative that might come up. Employers that conduct credit checks as part of hiring are primarily worried about dishonesty or financial irresponsibility that might make you a risky hire. But, schwimmbad things happen to good people all the time. A temporary reversal probably wont reflect as poorly on you as you think.

The Oil Information Cartel Is (Finally) Broken

The Oil Information Cartel Is (Finally) Broken The Oil Information Cartel Is (Finally) Broken A determined James Stafford of OilPrice.com just busted wide open an oil industry information cartel that has existed for decades.Most investors look at West Texas Intermediate and Brent prices on Bloomberg or CME Futures, figuring the oil price is in the public domain. That assumption is about 2 percent correct, because there are hundreds of different grades of oil and hubs where it is bought and sold - and they all have different prices.Since the age of oil began up until a few months ago, most real-time oil prices were jealously guarded by marketers, who used the information to their advantage in the daily multi-billion-dollar physical oil trade.Today, Im going to tell you the story of how Stafford and his small team made 18 months worth of calls, cajoling and ultimately paying for an amazing service you now get for free. Its a true David vs. Goliath story, and just like in the origina l, the little guy wins in the end.What Stafford and his team have assembled to date is remarkable - and free. You can access it through the link belowhttps//oilprice.com/oil-price-chartsThis is an incredible and unprecedented collection of information available to the public.(Click to enlarge)Stafford says that the feedback he has received has been exceptional. With no marketing effort, the oil price page is already receiving 40,000 visits daily.It was an 18-month quest to democratize the world of oil pricing and bust the information cartel that has existed for decades.A Simple Question With No Easy AnswerStaffords quest started well over a year ago when he received a phone call from a reporter working for the Wall Street Journal. The journalist wanted help finding a simple piece of information. He was writing an article about the African oil industry and simply wanted to know the current price for BonnyLight crude oil,the main benchmark price for Nigerian crude.Now remember, this is a Wall Street Journal writer with access to an incredible network of contacts and research, not a casual retail investor sitting at home with pedestrian web search skills and no industry contacts. You would expect that finding the current price for Africas main brand of crude would be a simple task for aWall Street Journalwriter.You would be wrong.Not only did the writer fail to find the current price for Bonny Light, but the best he could do was get a price from six months agoWe were passing information around faster with the Pony Express 150 years ago.The trouble that the writer was having surprised Stafford, who then realized that he, too, couldnt get access to the current price of Bonny Light.Given that Stafford is the founder of the very popular website OilPrice.com, not being able to find a price for a globally important type of crude did not sit well with him.So Stafford put his head down and got to work.Information Held Hostage the Ransom?$30,000 Per YearThe internet has made information available to everyone with ease. Nowhere is this more true than in the investment world. I can tap into any SEC filing of any company within seconds. It wasnt that long ago that I would have had to request that information by telephone and wait to receive it by mail.The internet has sent the encyclopedia the way of the dodo bird, ruined many a local newspaper, and made the world a much smaller place. It has also leveled the playing field in many cases, especially when it comes to investing.When it comes to obtainingglobal oil price information, however, the internet has done nothing. We are totenstill completely in the dark.Your first inclination may be to disagree with me. You know that you can look at the current (or historic) price of West Texas Intermediate or Brent crude any time you want. What you are missing is that those are just two oil benchmarks out of hundreds, perhaps even thousands.People generally believe that oil is a single homogeneous substance. A barrel of oil is a barrel of oil is a barrel of oil.That is not the case.In its natural unrefined state, crude oil differs in consistency and density from very thin, volatile, andlight oilto very thick, almost solid, heavy oil. It also differs in color, ranging in hue from pitch black to a light golden yellow.Depending on where it is found, each type of oil has very unique properties when it comes to volatility, viscosity, and toxicity. In Canada alone, there are north of 70 different oil blends. You read that correctly - 70(Click to enlarge)Knowing the exact blend is essential for the refinery process, which has to account for the specific chemical properties and viscosity of the oil being processed.Stafford knew that if he couldnt find pricing for a major type of crude like Bonny Light, then there were countless other prices that would be even harder to get.Staffords quest quickly led him to a discovery The only place to obtain a fairly complete set of current oil price data requ ired a subscription, which went for$30,000 to $50,000 per year.The people behind this source knew they had the upper hand over people who needed that oil price data, and they exploited it. Even at such exorbitant cost, however, the oil price information wasnt complete. The source only provided end-of-day prices for the various sources of crudes - nothing in real time.This just motivated Stafford more. His focus became finding a way to open up the world of oil prices, making the information available to everyone.But it wasnt easy, and it certainly wasnt cheap.It took Stafford and his team almost 18 months of making phone calls, getting rejected, making more phone calls - over and over again. When Stafford found the right people, they were often reluctant to release the information for fear of ruffling the feathers of senior management.Stafford ultimately succeeded simply by knocking on enough doors across the globe to find enough oil-industry people who were sick and tired of this oil price information being held hostage. Like Stafford, these people felt there should be transparency with respect to this information.Stafford will be out of pocket by acouple hundred thousand dollars per yearin order to secure the continued contractual commitments to supply this data.The Result Global Oil Price Information for Everyone (Finally)Stafford and his team arent done. They are still making calls, sending emails, and adding different blends to their pricing list. Stafford knows of a few hard-to-get-ahold-of blends his pricing list still lacks. Certain OPEC blends in particular have been hard to pin down.Well done, Mr. Stafford.By Keith Schaefer viaOil and Gas Investments

Bankers and lawyers will be routinely fired and replaced with algorithms

Bankers and lawyers will be routinely fired and replaced with algorithmsBankers and lawyers will be routinely fired and replaced with algorithmsOf all the white-collar jobs in America, bankers, stockbrokers and lawyers have arguably had it the best the most prestige, the most money, the most job security because of their extensive educations and personal knowledge.Obviously, our future robot overlords would have to topple those privileged positions if they ever want to take over, right? And lo despite the widespread conviction that automation is a risk only to blue-collar jobs like cashier and factory worker, the robots are coming for the finance workers and the lawyers just as fast.Those jobs, featuring long days complicated thought and analysis, those long nights of moral judgments - well, the harsh truth is, a computer can do those better.Exhibit 1 million in this case comes this week as BlackRock, a financial company that manages over $5 trillion in other peoples money, is tradi ng in two dozen humans for much cheaper and mora reliable algorithms. BlackRock is laying off about two dozen people, according to The Wall Street Journal. The reason The company has taken the view that it is difficult for human beings to beat the market with traditional bets on large U.S. stocks.Ouch.It all comes down to profits. BlackRock manages about $278 billion in mutual funds that include the stocks of big American companies. Traditionally, humans have picked which stocks should be in those mutual funds, curating the portfolio so that it all rises in value regularly. The goal beating the SP 500 Index, the group of 500 companies that act as a proxy for the health of the U.S. economy and the stock market.For decades, human stockpickers have had only one job beat the SP 500.And in recent years, those humans have consistently failed.Numerous studies have shown that active management by human stockpickers lags behind the passive investment of simply dumping money into an SP 500 In dex fund and leaving it there.In 2014, 80% of actively managed funds did leid perform as well as the SP 500. Investors have been pulling billions of dollars from funds managed by humans and pouring them into passive funds instead.Wall Streets love affair with algorithmsEnter the robots. Or rather, look around at the room, because robots have been making inroads on Wall Street jobs for nearly two decades.It all started with decimalization in 2000, whereby stock prices were set by decimal places instead of the old method of using fractions. Decimalization made humans less relevant (and paid them less profit) so computers started to take over the New York Stock Exchange and fueled the rise of the all-automated Nasdaq. Hedge funds have long favored automated trading of stocks, rushing into high-frequency trading that executes trades in nanoseconds. The obsession for empowering computers in trading became so extreme that a popular strategy is colocation, in which hedge funds moved their actual servers closer to the New York Stock Exchange and other exchanges so the bits and bytes of trading wouldnt even have to spend a few microseconds traveling down a longer length of cable. There are already nearly 1300 colocation centers in the U.S. - just giant gatherings of data servers, kept cool in dark, vast rooms. By one estimate, colocation itself may become a $50 billion market by 2020.And as the computers do better and become smarter at trading, it has forced humans to become mora thoughtful about what their jobs can be, besides just coming in to turn the switches on.Increasingly, the pervasiveness of algorithms on Wall Street is even challenging the old advice-based professions, like mergers and acquisitions. Mergers and acquisitions bankers were once the leaders of Wall Street, paid millions of dollars to know which companies should combine, and to develop deep advisory relationships with CEOs to make it happen.But here, too, human error played an enormous role merge rs more often fail than not, with estimates of that failure ranging from 50% or more,all the way up to 95%- a staggering proportion. Perhaps thats why Goldman Sachs, one of the leading investment banks for mergers, decided to trade in a passel of 100 juniorchef bankers for 75 coders who could match companies up by algorithm. (Goldman also replaced 600 human traders with 200 engineers as the banks chief financial officer crowed, those 600 traders, theres a lot of space where they used to sit.)Another financial function moving quickly under the oversight of artificial intelligence financial advice. So-called robo-advisors from E*Trade, Fidelity and TD Ameritrade, Betterment and othershelp you structure your investment portfolio faster and cheaper than your financial advisor from Merrill Lynch or Edward Jones once would have. MyPrivateBanking estimates that robo-advice could grow to a $3.7 trillion market in the next three years.The Lawyer AlgorithmSimilarly, other white-collar profes sionals who give advice are facing competition from robots. In time for tax season, HR Block struck a deal with IBMs Watson to have a computer give tax-preparation adviceon potential deductions.IBMs Watson, in fact, may also be behind the rise of what The Atlantic calls Robolawyers, computerized advisers who do for legal advice what TurboTax may do for taxes. The grunt work of junior lawyers, like diving into piles of legal documents, is ideal for computers. Automation of those unpleasant tasks may also force lawyers to spend more time on what matters advice. When the research is easier to do for legal professionals, more time can be spent on making better arguments and coming to the right judgments. At least, thats the theory.No wonder some big-name technology brains are worried. Stephen Hawking, the physicist, is worried about artificial intelligence and what it could do to human society. Elon Musk, the brilliant CEO of Tesla, seems to fret regularly that computers will destroy us (even as he has ambitions toimplant tiny computers into our brains.) Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, thinks robots should have to pay taxes if theyre going to take over so many jobs. This kind of worry is why artificial intelligence is just now taking off. For 25 years starting in the late 1960s, years known as the Dark Ages of artificial intelligence, scientists held off on doing too much with the science for a variety of reasons worries that it was all overblown, that AI would never scale up, and of course, pop culture feeding into fears that too much innovation too fast would lead to a robot apocalypse.It can call sound pretty dark, but robots have their human defenders, too, including former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, who is a staunch robot advocate (or robot apologist, depending on how you see it). The caveat from human allies like Summers is that artificial intelligence may not actually take human jobs, but merely help people by taking on grunt work and freeing us to do the really big thinking.All we know is that, whether or not robots will ever truly be our overlords, they really are going after the best and biggest jobs first. Now thats smar

GOOD VIBRATIONS Stevens Students Test Bridge Safety

GOOD VIBRATIONS Stevens Students Test Bridge Safety GOOD VIBRATIONS Stevens Students Test Bridge Safety GOOD VIBRATIONS Stevens Students Test Bridge SafetyBy Carol MilanoTake Yur Child to Work Day in Niwot, Colorado always found Curtis Stecyk on a bridge. Growing up hearing his mother, an enthusiastic civil engineer, describing her road and bridge projects nurtured Stecyks infrastructure interest. A decade later, his childhood interests in civil engineering made him an ideal candidate for a special project at Stevens Institute of Technology.Associate mechanical engineering professor Frank Fisher researches energy harvesting. Marcus Rutner, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering, investigates structural health monitoring. For a 2013-2014 Student Senior Design Project, they proposed tapping an unutilized energy source for continuous bridge monitoring structural vibrations. Selecting six outstanding mechanical and civil engineering seniors, the professors chall enged them to design an inexpensive prototype for detecting structural defects before lives were lost and roadways endangered.Every member of our kollektiv was eager to have even a small impact on energy, Stecyk remembers. While researching published papers on capturing energy vibrations, they discovered an untested academic concept to fine-tune and apply to their goal harnessing energy from consistent, frequent, identifiable vibrations on bridges.In our dynamic process, we worked on modeling and fabrication, choosing parts that might become an efficient device for measuring bridges structural health, he recounts. The mechanical engineers focused on how to harvest and transform energy from traffic-induced vibrations. Next, they developed a prototype integrated system that creates and stores energy, 24/7. A mechanical engineer wrote the code for what data to transmit, and when. Diagram and photograph of prototype for Vibration Energy Harvesting for Structural Health Instrumentation ( 2013-14)Their Vibration Energy Harvesting for Structural Health Instrumentation (VEHSHI) device detects any change in consistency of a bridges vibrations, beyond what the human eye sees during routine two-year inspections. Identifying defects not visible on the surface, including internal cracks, swelling or stiffness, VEHSHI sends an alert about any drastic change or hazardous deviation.Our challenge was searching, targeting, implementing and finalizing a modular system to work seamlessly, in a theoretical environment, to address a real-world application, says Stecyk. Energy is captured by movement of a magnet passing through a copper coil. At rest, the magnet floats just above the center of the coil, due to a fixed repulsive magnet, and plunges through the coil during vibration. Optimizing magnetic forces and displacement of the floating magnet maximizes energy capture. This isnt something you get in your typical classThe gruppe built an energy harvester producing about 16 mW of p ower much more than alternative energy harvesting technologies can do, explains Rutner. Structure health monitoring becomes fully autonomous once power generates automatically. The team embedded energy harvester and monitoring devices in smart circuit architecture. Their breakthrough was embedding a super capacitor bank, which stores energy coming from the harvester, releasing it on demand to power structure health monitoring. The set-and-forget electronic energy harvester with capacitor bank powers accelerometers at critical locations on the bridge superstructure, transmitting performance data to the bridge deck. A single unit sends it wirelessly to a distant computer.What was Stecyks favorite part of the multi-faceted project? Garnering first prize at the 2014 Stevens Innovation Expo. At the projects conclusion, we realized this device has applications and diversity way beyond bridges. That became a key point of our winning Elevator Pitch presentation if you tweak it, VEHSHI can apply to anything with a vibration.Fourth-year student members of the first VEHSHI team.

The eleven students on the 2014-2015 team investigated how to harvest vibrational energy in three dimensions, and how to make the harvester operable up to a frequency of about 50Hz, Rutner reports. Then it would be viable not only for bridges, but also for railroads or airplane fuselages.This demanding, exciting, strongly interdisciplinary research involves professors and students in mechanical, electrical and civil engineering, he notes. Rutner anticipates testing V EHSHI outside the lab soon. Its first patent application was submitted in 2014 a second is in preparation.Transportation infrastructure is a growth area for mechanical engineers, predicts Chris Sensor, Northeast Account Manager for m+p international, a manufacturer of data acquisition and vibration analysis systems in Verona NJ. Many dangerous situations, like bridge collapses or train derailments, could be avoided by simple infrastructure monitoring and vibration analysis. Preventive maintenance saves the cost of having to clean up after a disaster. Thats where mechanical engineers come in we can do vibration analysis, which could even improve safety for things like industrial turbines. Continuous data gathering should be done in every major metropolis transportation system, says Sensor, who holds a bachelor of science in mechanical engineering from Stevens.

A third of tech workers have a coworker who makes them want to quit

A third of tech workers have a coworker who makes them want to quitA third of tech workers have a coworker who makes them want to quitWith looming deadlines, extra projects, and demanding bosses, life at the office can sometimes be a lot to manage. Add unstable work relationships between coworkers into the mix, and it can sometimes be too much.A recent study by Comparably, a company that provides data on compensation and workplace culture, delved into the nature of coworkers connections with each other.The study, which surveyed mora than 36,000 people working at tech companies of different sizes, found that one in three respondents reported working with someone who makes them want to leave their job.Of all the findings in the study, here are some that stand out.An annoying coworker can make you want to quitJust fewer than half of women surveyed (43%) said they wanted to jump ship because of a coworker, compared to 32% of men surveyed.People in business development and design position swere mora likely than those in other departments to want to quit their job because of a coworker, 46% and 45% respectively.Conversely, only 14% of those in communications positions said they work with someone who makes them want to quit.Where experience welches concerned, those more than 10 years of work showed the highest rates of wanting to leave because of a coworker, 37%, compared to 28% percent of those with one to three years of work experience.The benefits of work friendshipsNot all the findings were negative. Some people, such aswork spouses, actually enjoy each others company in the office,More than half of men (51%) and women (55%) surveyed reported having a close friend at work. According to the study, this is an important figure, as studies show that people who cultivate friendships at the office are happier and more productive at work.Experience-wise, 55% of people with one to six years of work experience said they had a close friend at the office, compared to 48% in e ntry-level positions and 50% of those with more than 10 years of experience.The office dating sceneSome people arent afraid to be more than friends while employed at the same workplace - the survey found 26% of men and 28% of women have dated a coworker.This was true for 33% of people working in Operations, 28% working in Marketing and IT, and 23% working in Engineering.How people feel about sharing their salaryIt doesnt seem like everyones jumping at the chance to divulge how much they make to those they work with.Among all age categories surveyed, 31% said they were not likely to reveal what they take home to coworkers, 25% said it depends, 21% would never do it, 13% were somewhat likely, and just 9% were very likely.Within the 18-30 bracket, more than 30% reported being somewhat or very likely to share their salary. In the 31-35 bracket, 29% said it depends on the circumstances, which the report says is the most in any age group. The 41-45 bracket was the least in favor of telli ng coworkers, with 28% saying they would never do so.How people feel about their bossesThe study also explored the loyalty people have to those they work with, proving that people tend to favor their coworkers over their supervisors.A plurality (36%)reported that they have the most allegiance to their coworkers. Next up in terms of popularity was Boss or Manager at 30%, then No One at 13% and Company Mission/Vision at 11%.The section that bottomed out on theother extreme was Direct Reports at a slim 10%.Its clear that people have strong opinions about who they work with and what they choose to share.
