Аннотация

The American workplace has become a place for socializing as much as a place for work. During breaks, over lunch, and at the "Watercooler," American workers enjoy socializing with their coworkers. Sometimes the discussions are political, or family related, or perhaps they're about the latest TV shows and movies. Gossiping about other coworkers or even the boss might also be common. But since office camaraderie can be cultivated under these circumstances, this could also be a forum for discussing work projects, and because it's a more relaxed environment, creative solutions to work often come up among coworkers in unexpected places. Whatever the case, more company executives say they believe that "Watercooler conversations "focus more on business-related matters rather than gossip. Watercooler conversations are good for employees, since everyone needs a little socializing to get them through a day of hard work. And they're also good for business, since they encourage teamwork and creative exchanges of ideas.
