62

In some ways, it’s good for company culture to build things that are intended to fail because it creates an environment where it’s OK to fail. A lot of people are very scared of that, especially in the workplace.

I like to have a simple workplace.
101

103

105
By the way, if you ever watch Prince Harry on a panel or giving a talk, you can tell that as royals go, he’s comparatively normal, and I think that’s largely because he had a workplace experience with people with radically different social backgrounds.

108
As we all know, sexism in the workplace is a serious issue. It’s something that needs active disruption and change.
109

I’m not saying that women shouldn’t pursue careers, but if it is going to be equal in the workplace, it should certainly pan out to be a little bit more equal in the home, too.

I have actually had to ask my supervisors not to curse in meetings or in general in the workplace.

121
Men are angry at women because they aren’t doing what they are supposed to do, which is support men. They are in the workplace claiming their own rights and often outdoing men. They are daring to bring charges of sexual assault and harassment. They are just not behaving themselves!
122
I’m a big proponent of young women dressing appropriately in the workplace to get ahead. We need to demand respect as women, and part of that involves how we present ourselves.

138
I have now spent over a year trying to figure where in the workplace I belong.
139
I write what I call precinct drama, and I tend to write things set in the workplace. Having an institution which gives a workplace its distinctive identity is really important to creating something which feels different.
140
If I make your workplace conducive to walking at lunch, or working out at some time during the day, or I get people to use the stairs more by creating incentives to do such, then people will start doing it naturally.
141
The nice thing about ‘Futurama’ for me personally was that it was a way to honor some of the traditional ideas in literary science fiction, not so much movie or television science fiction – although we have that too, obviously. Our situation, a workplace comedy, led to all sorts of stuff.
142
During those days, we formed working relationships that lasted beyond the workplace. So even after ‘Dil Diya Dard Liya,’ Shyama and I would meet often.
143
My main message is for people to live your life through love. That doesn’t necessarily mean through a relationship. It could be your friends, your family, your workplace, even just walking down the street and smiling, saying ‘Hi!’ Embracing positivity!
144

146
Our minds are slowly changing and men are taking up larger roles at home, while women are doing the same at the workplace.
147
I know a lot of CEOs who are looking for three- to four-year varsity athletes – not necessarily because these people are going to be doing pushups or spiking volleyballs in the workplace, but because they’re looking for that continuity, that person who was gritty about something.
148
We have a collective responsibility to do everything we can to make sure that everyone feels that the workplace is a safe and equal environment.
149
And that’s actually the brunt of what we do is, people going straight from their workplace, straight from home, straight into the classroom and working directly with the students. So then we’re able to work with thousands and thousands more students.
150
The workplace can be a good place to find opportunities to socialise, but what if you don’t meet any like-minded people there, or what if you work alone? Is it, somewhat counter-intuitively, easier to find yourself lonely in a city than in a small town or village?
151
The issue of women in the workplace is not a women’s issue: it’s an economic problem.
