Bruning Successful Again

Sarah Bruning flew into my radar once before with her article in Cosmopolitan about proper etiquette in the work place, and she is at it again in the most recent issue with her newest article.

She Did What at Work?! is the second article I have ever read by Bruning and once again she has shown the world things we should all really know. Obviously there are still people struggling considering this article Bruning used real life stories as examples.

Bruning went straight to the reliable sources for her article by asking different people in charge of various fields about work horror stories.
People who "jerked around helpful contacts", left for cats, swore at clients, and dressed inappropriately were called out by the bosses in the article.
In addition to the stories, Bruning added both her comments about what can be taken from the story and also some expert opinions.

I have to say, adding the opinions of Kristina Moore (worker at the Corporate Fashionista blog) and Ron Alsop (author) brought in a different feel to the article. It allowed there to be an outside opinion from people that have dealt with difficult work situations.
To add more, Bruning also added the opinions of how things could go differently from two of the office higher ups that provided the stories.
I know my Dad used to tell me all the time what employers will be looking for seeing as he hired people himself. I think the opinions of the CEO and Executive Vice President are important because they know exactly what they are looking for; they are the real life people, not just experts.

I personally don't find anything wrong with this article other than the fact it has to be written.
What does that say about society that one of the opening lines is "You know not to sleep with your boss (right?)" The first story is about not dressing for work like you are dressing to go out to a club...

I mean, isn't this stuff we should all just know off the bat? It kills me that articles like this have to be written, but Bruning steps up to the challenge and tries to knock around our common sense.
