New Device Alerts Co-workers To Potential Office Rage
NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Office workers now have a new way to tell if they are about to walk into a den of "office rage" when they enter a colleague's cubicle.
Nancy Moses is the inventor of the Mood-Voo Pole, a device that lets office drones alert their co-workers to their current mood. She says had the idea a while ago but shelved it until two years ago when she read a news article on office rage.
The device is a soft pole with signs on the side that indicate several moods, from "Stressed" to "Good" to "Sick" to "Angry" or "Depressed." You simply pin a marker in one of the categories to announce to the world how you're currently feeling.
Moses says she pictures the device on the desk of every office worker, so if you have a row with the boss you can put the pin in the pole to tell everyone how you feel.
