If he shows good initiative and is able to work under pressure when given a task, he will survive and later a permanent work status can be a reward for him.

      The Office

      An office is generally a room or other area where administrative work is done, but may also denote a position within an organization with specific duties, such as the president, manager, supervisor, secretary and the staff.

      People is use to travel from home to office to work, this is done for almost centuries. Today, office has changed from physical spaces to respond to cultural, technological and social forces. Changes in technology also influenced the office. Now digital maturity seems a signal to the end of the office, with online connectivity, where people could potentially work from home. The office of the future may be as familiar as home, but only time will tell.
