That lingering festive hangover

Talking of Christmas, teleconferencing provider Powwownow’s latest irreverent press release focused on an unusual New Year spike in activity. “What’s so surprising about that?” I hear you ask. Well, Powwownow says this isn’t caused by a drive to cut travel expenses; it’s a consequence of post-Christmas party embarrassment. Its research showed third of employees feared they’d made a fool of themselves at the annual bash, whilst 30 per cent of men had had a sexual thought about a colleague during a meeting. So next time you’re in what appears to be a boring meeting, be aware that it’s actually maelstrom of rampaging hormones. Think clean: book a teleconference.
