Very interesting and funny Financial Times piece on how many of the features of today’s office, including constant technological interruptions and working from a coffee place are not that new. The article then goes to list some things that are novel in the new world of work. My favorite are the idea that you should like your job: “A clerk writing in 1907 referred to his colleagues as ‘miserable little pen drivers – fellows in black coats with inky fingers and shiny seats on their trousers’.”
