We see them every day at least 40 hours per week. We share coffee rituals in the morning. We may have lunch at one table. We make compliments to each other about new fashionable outfits or hairstyles. We are looking forward to saying "TGIF". We wake up for the sake of the same goal. We know every little detail about them. Or we may know only their name. Extremely immersed in our duties and endless tasks, we may not even pay attention to who we are working with. As a rule, we`re not interested in someone`s life but don`t lose a chance to gossip or judge. It inevitably affects the performance.
