rude in the cubes

Have you had it with your rude, crude, and downright lewd co-workers? Apparantly, you're not the only one. CNNfn recently identified an "etiquette crisis at work," in which everything from stealing other one another's items from the refrigerator to perpetually empty coffee machines is increasingly creating tension--or even out-and-out hostility--in the office. CNNfn advocates making "proficiency in social skills" a hiring requirement, but bad manners often don't reveal themselves until an employee's settled in. 9-to-5 incivility getting you down? Check here for additional advice, or just an opportunity for a little virtual commiseration.
