The world needs more ‘desk-bombers’
From time to time, office life breeds a catchphrase that sounds deeply strange and yet makes sense as soon as someone says it.
I came across one the other day: “desk-bombing”.
As a colleague at work explained, this is the act of approaching someone at their desk without warning, and talking to them.
But it is part of a pattern that seems to be on the march: an outbreak of overweening shyness, or intolerance of interruption, that is at best self-destructive and at worst unproductive and annoying.
