Modern Workplace

Take a moment and think back to a year ago? Where were you? Was it a cubicle? Corner office? Boardroom? Did you enjoy meeting coworkers in the break room or did you wake up every morning dreading the 6AM commute just to get a good parking spot? Was there ever a moment when you wished you could just forget all the white noise of the office and just enjoy work in the peace of your own home? Well that might not be a fantasy anymore.

Talking about money is taboo, so we avoid it. However, if you have worked long enough at an organisation, at some point, you are going to ask for a raise. Asking for money makes us feel awkward, greedy and extremely uncomfortable. But the fact is, asking for a raise is an integral part of our professional careers.

The transition from work-life to home-life is relaxing in many aspects but focusing on work has become harder than ever. Unlike in our work environments, there are many distractions ranging from being able to access our phones to having to work in the same place as your spouse, children or flatmates.
