In addition to the community we’ve built here on The Collared Sheep, there’s a fun group of folks on Twitter who make the work day easier by broadcasting live from their cubicles and offices. We use the Twitter hashtag #newsfromthecube (or #nftc when we’re pushing 140 characters). And because we know you’re pulled into meetings [...]
I was sitting at my desk yesterday at about 4pm when I get an email from my boss with the subject “WTF MAN.” That’ll make your stomach drop. Lucky for me, it was an issue that was out of my control and something he was only half mad about. But there’s really nothing worse than [...]

We’ve used this space many times to preach the importance of keep your personal life out of the office as much as possible. You have relationships, interests, hobbies and complexities that should be kept outside of the workplace. Many of these oddities and nuggets about you can be occupational hazards. That’s why we weren’t surprised [...]

Employers hate kids. Can you blame them? A kid is a distraction for you, the employee. If you’ve seen “Anchorman” you might remember the problems the boss has with his son at school. Companies might throw you a party to say “congrats” on the new kid, but they don’t mean it. They’re pissed. A lawsuit [...]
Actor James Franco is someone who isn’t shy about wearing a lot of hats. His latest resume bullet: Occupational hazard. That’s right. The “127 Hours” star’s name is coming up a lot recently in relation to a recent firing of an NYU professor. Much was made of Franco earning his Master’s degree in fine arts [...]
A few years ago Father Von Kaiser moved into a consultant role for a nice company and he’s since traveled the world many times over. He actually told me that he shredded about 150,000 miles in the air in 2011. The perks are pretty sick. He has seen so much of the world on the [...]
Just in time for the holidays, my favorite ad of the season was released over the weekend. Unsurprisingly, it comes from Apple. It’s another classic.

Did you know who Herman Cain was in 2008? We didn’t. We didn’t even know what Godfather’s Pizza was in 2008. Now everyone knows who Herman Cain is. He’s the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza and was very recently making a highly publicized run at the Republican seat for the 2012 presidential election. Former CEO [...]
