Video Pick: Why the Office is a Bad Place to Work
Feel like you can never actually get work done in the office? In this video, Jason Fried explains the root of the problem—and what we can do to make offices better places to work.

Take a moment and think about this question: Where do you go when you really need to get work done?

If you answered the office, you’re lucky. Despite the amount of time and resources that businesses put into creating great offices for their employees, very few people consider the workplace somewhere they can get meaningful work done.

In this video, Jason Fried explains why he thinks that is, then gives important suggestions for managers on how to create an office where people can actually get the job done.
