Compliance vs Values
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for progress and being compliant with incoming laws and new trends in the corporate world. However, one thing that I cannot STAND is incompetance. One day you're happily typing away sending and receiving external emails, then the next day you don't receive and people start smsing or calling asking why you haven't responded to their urgent emails.
