First thing in the morning

What is the first thing I did this morning at work? Join a gossip discussion group of course! It's only natural with all these recent 180-degree directional and organizational changes. I can't wait to hear what my manager has to say in the team meeting this afternoon.

I am not sure how many people have read an article on how AT&T Wireless blundered last November during the critical number-portability introduction, but basically one of the main factors leading to the disaster was low employee morale due to offshoring "rumors". It's interesting, but sad, to see it happening around me, though currently in a much smaller scale (I hope).
