"What is the single most important thing for a company? Is it the building? Is it the stock? Is it the turnover? It's the people, investment in people. My proudest moment here wasn't when I increased profits by 17%, or cut expenditure without losing a single member of staff. No. It was a young Greek guy, first job in the country, hardly spoke a word of English, but he came to me and he went 'Mr. Brent, will you be the Godfather to my child?'.

Didn't happen in the end. We had to let him go, he was rubbish. He was rubbish!"

The real reason we work from home:

sometimes when I'm alone I plagiarize myself...

What's the deal with plagiarism?

If something was written and published with my name in the list of authors, is it possible for me to plagiarize it (since perhaps the words were actually written by one of the other contributing authors), or is it impossible for me to plagiarize it because, as one of the contributing authors, I own the whole thing and you can't plagiarize yourself.

I welcome any relevant and non-relevant information alike!
