\nI agree helpful information has nothing to do with anything personel. Its more like things that the peron needs to know to perform their job.

\nExactly. You can gossip on your own time, and it doesnt make you look professional at all.","dateCreated":"1324320158","smartDate":"Dec 19, 2011","userCreated":{"username":"Russel_Manwarren","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Russel_Manwarren","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"}},{"id":"48408432","body":"@MitchGirres35
