If you’ve been trapped in your workplace unable to leave, eating Doritos from the vending machine for dinner and sleeping under your desk, should you be paid for that time?

A hundred years ago, in the heyday of unions, non-unionized businesses needed a way to make their low wages, long shifts, and poor working conditions look a little more attractive. So they did what lazy corporate wonks have done to increase morale since the beginning of time: They threw a pizza party. 

Open-floor-plan offices may not compare to the shipyards, manufacturing plants, and airports that first brought over-ear headphones to the workplace. But noise pollution is still a serious issue in knowledge work.

I mean the people who take the time to walk to the sink with a single mug, dump out the contents, fill it with just enough water to cover the striations of coffee stains, add a few squirts of dish soap, and walk away. Why not spend the extra 15 seconds to wash it? Or put it in the dishwasher? The dishwasher is RIGHT THERE.
