Is work personal?


I can’t understand why certain people would say, "It’s just business; nothing personal."


Many people use this phrase as a signature license to do whatever they want to whoever they like in order to achieve their own selfish ends.


Their favorite quotation is: "The end justifies the meanness." This should not be.


Business is personal.


Our work life is personal.


We spend a great deal of our time in it so how can it not be personal?
