Talk:Office/Archives/2013

Definition
The Free Dictionary says an office is A place in which business, clerical, or professional activities are conducted.

Should this be incorporated in the article ?

 * AS NO OBJECTION RECD _ am inserting to the article Sanjiv swarup (talk) 03:02, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

No, a) because it's a dictionary definition, b) because it doesn't appear to be under a free licence and is therefore a copyvio, and c) because the article already says this. Marnanel (talk) 19:31, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * can we archive this sub section ? Sanjiv swarup (talk) 10:12, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

More Please ?
I would very much like to see some building statistics in this article, such as tallest buildings; oldest buildings; et cetera. --Therealhrw 20:56, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

This is an article about the office and not about buildings. Such information should be in Skyscrapers or in superlative buildings themselves, like the Vehicle Assembly Building. --AlainV 21:36, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

The first picture is quite small, enlarged, maybe someone could take a better picture?
 * Agreed, that is a terrible image. I can't even tell that it is of an office. - Steve
 * You might be watching this article there right now!!

===I feel we can use this picture. ===

Yes, I feel this image is more clear & suitable for this article. 59.183.42.232 (talk) 09:59, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Office Culture
Working in Office can be both rich and varied experience.There are wide range of people whom you work with-a wide range of personalities,cultures,experiences.There is a challenge of being highly organised-figuring out priorities,which task to do first,which one can wait.There are the deadlines,the pressures,the conflicts,the new skills to learn,the old ones to hone and update.but many technological changes have redefined office like Letters don't have to be retyped,only corrected on screen,Pulling out files to find a piece of information isn't necessary,computer can do the searching for information in fraction of seconds.Jain puneet (talk) 11:05, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

The Janitorial Store
Regarding the recent removal of the grading system based on the belief that the only source is a janitor supply co, see http://www.thejanitorialstore.com/public/34.cfm

The history does talk about the specific businesses that the Co-founders ran/run, but as the last paragraph shows, this site is not their business site, but a community site for professionals in the janitorial bussiness:
 * The Janitorial Store is a community for owners of small commercial cleaning companies that is designed to allow you to share your knowledge, ask questions, participate in tele-seminars, find training programs designed for the smaller company, and so much more!

Now more sources would be nice, but the current citation appears reliable for what it is used for. IMHO (talk) 00:30, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Etymology?
Originally office meant 'service', how did this notion turn out to mean a room?
