One would think that a really crowded physical situation would have a negative effect on productivity- people require a certain amount of their own space in which to best perform the tasks. I would not be able to stand it if I felt cramped against someone else all day at work!

Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992\nThis act places a duty on employers and the self-employed to assess risks to heath and safety from their business.  This includes any risks from seating.  The person or employer must also identify what measures are needed to comply with health and safety requirements and make suitable arrangements to manage these measures effectively.

I have been a professional for six years now.  In this time, I have worked in 4 different offices. It totally depends on the office culture. In my current setting, we all have televisions and it's not uncommon for people to rock their music so loud that everyone within a 20 foot range could hear it. But, I am in a studio and it is totally appropriate for the office culture here. In your avg. office though, I would totally not leave on my ring tones, I would not have wallpaper on my computer, and I would try to be as plain-Jane as possible. Although these may be things that you like, they may totally disturb someone elses workflow and they may consider it to be distasteful.

There are different legal requirements for each state. For example, Kentucky's Code says: The ring shall have an area of at least six (6) feet between the edge of the ring floor and the first row of spectator seats on all four (4) sides of the ring. So we need to know where the match is for a more accurate answer.

Two years. I work in a utility office and I've seen people that mess up and don't realize it for a year. So I would say two to be on the safe side.

You will have to contact human resources and payroll dept.  Depending on the company, I am sure there is a handbook somewhere that has all the rules and regulations(most of it is in small print).  Good luck!

I hope it is not your boss doing that. I once had a boss who would come into my closet, I mean office, and close the door, then proceed to rant and rave at me and tear my files apart and throw everything around, leaving a huge mess for me to clean up. I was scared to death of him.  That job lasted three months before I left, but it seemed like three years.\nIf it is a co-worker on the same or a lower level than you, can you go to your supervisor? That is not a good working environment, and could even be harmful to your health, mental and physical.  Until that person either receives the therapy so obviously needed, try to avoid confrontations, and see if you can get transferred to another area, or have your hours changed so you don't work the same shift as the nutcase.  Good luck with all that.  Take care of you and your safety first.

That's really gonna' depend on the regulatory bodies in your area.  If you're in the US, call your state's Department of Health.  They should be able to point you in the right direction.  Other than that, I'm not sure exactly what to tell you.  Mine is a consulting practice so I'm working with basically a corporate office type of setting.

you are going to need about 5 or 6 for desk staff (3 full time, 3 part time) and depending on whether you want housekeeping fulltime or not I'd say about 10, plus at least 1 manager for each department. With 240 rooms you may need additional staff for busy seasons. AKA 2 desk clerks for AM and PM shifts on weekends and during the busy season, also a few extra housekeeprs during those times. Also consider 2 mainteance personel 1 FT and 1 PT. More employees will be needed if you have things like a pool, restaurant and such. I'd say Approx 30 employees.
