Weber Road to undergo extensive road construction By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

onstruction season has begun, and motorists can expect to see the familiar reflective orange and white horses dotting stretches of Weber Road for the next few seasons. According to Jeff Ronaldson from the Will County Highway Department, a section of Weber Road is undergoing routine maintenance and another stretch will begin a much larger project. Between I-55 and Airport Road in Romeoville and between McGilvary Road just south of Renwick in Crest Hill, a simple overlay, or a grind and replacement of the surface course of the road is being completed. Crest Hill is near completion and paving and pavement striping will be complete in the Romeoville section over the next two weeks, Ronaldson said. The larger reconstruction project involves widening and the complete reconstruction of Weber Road to a six-lane section. The section will have three lanes in each direction, including appropriate turn lanes.The project will start just north See WEBER, page 3

Village Notes By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Though one is not slated for this year, the village board passed a new ordinance that would allow for such a venue. According to Mayor John Noak, the village has received a couple of requests over the years and now has laid the groundwork so that the village could entertain the idea in the future.

safety and well-being of the motoring public, and to provide a deterrent for those who might violate laws and ordinances pertaining to the safe operation of a vehicle. The safety checks will be used to find those using defective equipment; driving without a license or permit, without insurance, or while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Roadside Safety Check

Testing vision obstruction for drivers

The Romeoville Police Department will be conducting a roadside safety check Friday, May 25 throughout the village at various locations and hours deemed appropriate to monitor illegal activity. Police Chief Mark Turvey advised that safety checks are being conducted to promote

The village will be further reviewing a move to change a system that determines what can be defined as an obstruction of vision for drivers, essentially checking for any obstruction on street corners that could block a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s view when making a turn.

WEBER Continued from page 1 of McGilvary Road and north to the existing six-lane cross section south of Airport Road. In addition, Renwick Road will be widened and reconstructed at the Weber Road intersection. A four-lane cross section with two through lanes in each direction with appropriate turn lanes will

be added. The existing traffic signals at Weber and Renwick roads and at Weber and Gaskin roads will be replaced to accommodate the wider pavement. Ronaldson said this project will start construction over the next few months once utilities have been relocated. The project is expected to extend into late 2013. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

An ordinance was before the village board that would have changed the current system which enforces that a 30â&#x20AC;&#x2122; triangle measured along the right of way line at the corner of any two intersection streets have no obstructions between three and

ten feet high, mainly on private property. The village was proposing to adopt a system used by the Illinois Department of transportation that bases measurement on the design speed of the roadway and looks

at the area in the right of way as well as private property. Village trustees requested further information on how this would work and affect certain residential areas of town. The item was tabled until the next village board meeting.

Housing crisis forces area residents to seek assistance By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Month after month, the number of foreclosures in the area are still on the increase, and area agencies are reaching out to help and encouraging those in need to take it. According to the Illinois Foreclosure Listing Service, foreclosures have been steadily rising each month throughout the six counties of Cook, Will, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and DuPage. The total home foreclosures in January for the combined counties were 5,138. In February, the total number jumped to 6,168 - almost a 20 percent increase from January. In March, the number of foreclosures increased even higher to 6,442 - a 5 percent increase from February. Overall, there was about a 25 percent increase from January to March of 2012. Locally,Executive Director Robert

Kalnicky of the Community Service of NorthernWill County,says though the ramifications of the economy have been leveling off for the last six months to nine months,foreclosures or not declining, with the agency handling about 100 cases each month with residents throughout its service area of communities Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Lockport, Plainfield, Lemont and Naperville. “The number one message we want to get out is that residents should seek help,” said Kalnicky. “A lot of times people are too afraid or embarrassed—there is no reason to be. This is the sole reason we exist—to help. I am confident we can help you and to realize you are not alone.” According to the latest Chicago foreclosure statistics from ILFLS.com, the total number of foreclosures in DuPage County increased by about 9.2 percent from January to February. In January, there were 448 foreclosures in DuPage County. In

February, the total rose to 492. The total number of foreclosures in Will County increased by 10.4 percent between January, when there were 482 foreclosures, and February, when there were 538 foreclosures. However, Kalnicky says there are fairly new programs,like the Hardest Hit Fund,that are making it easier for residents to get help. The Hardest Hit Fund is designed to offer those who have reduced their income by at 20 percent due to under or unemployment a chance to modify their loans. An application can be found online at www.thecsc.org. “We also have seen a lot more effort on the part of lenders this year, “ said Kalnicky.“Bank of America is one of the banks we work with and we we will continue to work with them to help customer’s get the help they need.” In fact, Bank of America is one of the industry’s largest banks, and has recently opened a customer

assistance center in Bolingbrook to serve its mortgage customers throughout Illinois.The Bolingbrook Customer Assistance Center is the second location in the Chicagoland area. The center is designed to provide customers facing financial hardship the opportunity to receive personal assistance with their mortgage and home equity loans. The center will be staffed with home retention specialists who will be able to process modification applications from start to finish onsite with full underwriting so many customers can receive decisions onsite. This will give borrowers an opportunity to meet face-to-face with Bank of America home retention specialists to review options for home loan modifications or other alternatives to foreclosure, as well as review loan modification files already in progress. “Bank of America has assisted more than 40,000 Illinois

homeowners with permanent modifications since January 2008, but there is more work to be done,” said Tim Maloney Illinois president, Bank of America, said in a statement. “We recognize the importance of face-to-face outreach, and expect that making ourselves even more accessible to homeowners who are having difficulty making their payments due to economic conditions will have a significant impact on our statewide foreclosure prevention efforts.” Bank of America customers can make appointments and get more information on required documentation by calling the center at 630-296-2500. Home retention specialists are available to meet with borrowers by appointment only Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. or Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com

Commuters can save on trip costs with Pace vanpool By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

Looking for an alternative to the daily stress of driving to work? Vanpooling is an economical, convenient, and environmentally friendly alternative to driving alone. In a Pace Vanpool, at least four people, with similar schedules and routes, often working at the same company, or in the same building, share a Pace-provided vehicle. For a monthly fee, the riders receive the van, complete with a fuel card, maintenance card, insurance, I-PASS, roadside assistance, car washes, and more. Driven by one of the participants, who receives their share without a fee, riders make

a three–month commitment to the program. The driver also receives 300 miles for personal use, including gas and insurance. That mileage can be banked as well, up to an extra 500 miles. “If you figure a driver may bank 800 miles, then they can take a nice trip with that,” said Pace representative Beth Gonzalez.“It becomes like a second vehicle for them.” After the three-month minimum, a month-to-month commitment is required. Riders are responsible for physically taking the car in for gas and repairs, as well as filling out a monthly report, and getting the vehicle washed. To be a driver or a back-up driver, participants must have a good driving record, pass a

physical and a drug test, and take a one-day safety and orientation class. Vanpools save employees money on their transportation. Gonzalez said in addition to saving money on fuel, tolls, parking, and vehicle wear and tear, many insurance companies will lower rates once they know a person is no longer driving their vehicle to work every day. Additionally, the vanpool gives riders time to relax, reduces pollution and traffic congestions. “You can socialize, read, or work on your computer,” Gonzalez said. She added that studies have shown employees who participate in vanpool programs have less stress, better work performance, and

participating companies have experienced less tardiness from staff members and increased retention by offering a reliable means of getting to the jobsite each day. Twenty-mile fares begin at about $122 dollars per person, and the program does qualify for the Pre-tax Commuter Benefit, which allows people to use pre-tax dollars to fund public transportation. Employers must participate, or, for companies that don’t participate, there is an option for a four percent discount for automatic payment withdrawal. Another vanpool option is available for those commuters taking METRA trains, but who need a ride from the train station stops to their places of

employment. Working with the municipalities, Pace offers the METRA FEEDER Van Pool for $58 per month, with many of the same arrangements as the traditional VanPool Program. Mini-vans, ramped minivans, conversion vans, and liftequipped conversion vans are available through Pace. More than 300 Van Pool routes are in operation and the program has been going for 20 years. Interested commuters can find out more at pacerideshare. com. The website helps riders connect with others from their area who have similar commutes. The website also has links to all the necessary forms to set up a rideshare, Gonzalez said. sdauskurdas@buglenewspapers.com

Forum Letter to the Editor

Illustrated Opinions

Gentle Giant Pets are very important to people. I can speak of dogs. I have first hand knowledge of one named “Cody.” Any type of pet can help people. Dogs in general help lonely seniors, service disable persons, help police, firefighters and veterans. They bring comfort and joy to sick children. Pets are true friends. The gentle giant that I write about is Cody. He has beautiful blue eyes. He is a siberian husky. He is now two years old and weighs about 751bs. He loves people and is very friendly. I am “grandma” to him. When he knows he is coming to visit me he goes for his leash.Upon arrival he gives me a much appreciated kiss. When his two owners go to work, they give him a treat.They then put on cartoons (softly)

on the TV - so he does not feel alone. He also enjoys sleeping with his owners. I read stories on how dogs or pets have saved lives. I believe this. Most homes in our country have some type of pet. They are true friends.They teach us many things. Our veterans with posttraumatic stress or some type of physical (loss of limbs, etc.) are helped greatly by dogs.They deserve our “unconditional” love. They give back so much more. Our humane society needs people to “adopt” a pet. They are wonderful companions to anyone (young or old) that is in need of true friendship. Shirlee J.Pergler Romeoville

Everything you need is right at your fingertips. In the week to come, you can use your brains as well as your brawn to make your dreams a reality. You can make progress with financial security.

You have a handle on the big picture. Use your broad vision to fix problems at work or to deal with health issues in the week to come. You will find plenty of opportunities to use leadership abilities.

Think your way out of a box. In the upcoming week, you can stay on the right track by using the power of thought and all the communication skills at your disposal. Perfection and poise is attainable.

Edge out the completion through education. Learn as much as possible by studying successful people. Seek business advice that will keep you heading in the right direction in the week ahead.

Carve out a path to the future using the past as a template. In the week ahead, you will easily find ways to overcome old obstacles. Use resources at hand to learn more about subjects close to your heart.

Thinking and doing go hand in hand. This week, cut expenses that are a drain on your piggy bank just as you would remove the chaff from the wheat. Make a wise appraisal of the domestic budget.

If you have been feeling overwhelmed or burned out at work, it is time to learn to use recovery time. In the week ahead, tackle your job the way pros tackle exercise. Work hard in intervals; slow the pace.

Life may be the ultimate comedy of errors. In the week to come, your sharply honed instincts will keep you from making mistakes or at least allow you to laugh and them and promise to do better.

Sometimes you suspect that you are a marionette unaware of the strings. If you think for yourself this week, you can do justice to your own principles. Use intelligence to overcome an obstacle to your success.

You will never be tired when you are inspired to reach your goals and achieve ambitions in the upcoming week. Although it is admirable to win, remember to be generous; shake hands with the loser.

Shedding tears could be a good thing. You might cry from joy rather than sadness in the week ahead. People may forget what you say or do but they never forget how you make them feel.

Listen to the rhythms of the earth and get grounded. In the week to come you may shrink back from those who are more energetic, outgoing or ambitious than you are. Daydreams distract from real issues.

Retire Smart: Reverse mortgages not for the uninformed By Jill Schlesinger Tribune Media Services

“Why do I need to save? I’ll just tap the equity in my house when I retire,” said a former client at the end of 2006. He and his wife were in their late 50s, and I was recommending that they increase their retirement contributions. During the real estate boom, I encountered a lot of people who thought they would use their home equity to fund everything from big splurges, to college tuition, to retirement. When the bubble burst, many were forced to spend savings and cash in investments and now face retirement with home equity that is on average 30 percent lower than it was at the peak. For some of these near or current retirees, the allure of a reverse mortgage is calling. A reverse mortgage is a home loan that allows homeowners 62 and older to convert a portion of the equity in their homes into cash, as long as the home remains their primary residence. Most reverse mortgages are offered through the Department of Housing and Urban Development and are guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) through a program called Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM). (FHA provides online counselors as well as valuable information at: http://1.usa.gov/ nJKRpy or by phone at (800) 569-4287.) Unlike a traditional mortgage,

there’s no lengthy underwriting process, and you don’t make monthly principal and interest payments. You are required to continue to pay real estate taxes, utilities, and hazard and flood insurance premiums. The amount you can borrow depends on several factors, which include the age of the youngest borrower, the current interest rate, the appraised value of your home and whether the rate is fixed or adjustable. The more valuable your home is, the older you are and the lower the interest rate, the more you can borrow. If the home is sold or no longer used as a primary residence, or the borrower dies, then the loan, the accumulated interest and other HECM finance charges must be repaid. All proceeds beyond the amount owed belong to your surviving spouse or estate. If the house sells for less than the money owed, the FHA takes the loss - no debt is passed along to the estate or heirs. In essence, a reverse mortgage can help retirees convert an illiquid asset - a house - into a liquid one that can help supplement retirement income. Sounds too good to be true, right? For some, it is. One big downside to reverse mortgages is that younger retirees who use them may run out of money and options at too young an age. These folks may have been better off selling their homes and using the equity to purchase another home or renting. Additionally, it

may make sense to spend other assets before extracting home equity via a reverse mortgage. Another consideration regarding reverse mortgages is the cost. FHA charges a single upfront mortgage premium equal to 2 percent of the home’s appraised value or $625,500, whichever is less. The borrower is also charged a 1.25 percent annual premium on the entire loan balance. In addition, the borrower is charged a monthly servicing fee of up to $35. Add it all up, and it’s clear that a reverse mortgage isn’t a good choice if the borrower will move out of the home in three years or less because of the high costs upfront. It’s also important to remember that reverse mortgage payouts can impact a borrower’s eligibility for meanstested benefits programs, like Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and/or Medicaid. Consumer Union issued a warning on reverse mortgages, which noted “deep concerns about the suitability of the products for some borrowers” and “the aggressive marketing and misleading advertising of reverse mortgages to seniors.” Celebrities like James Garner, Robert Wagner, Fred Thompson and Henry Winkler have all been paid to tout the benefits of reverse mortgages. You may be wondering, “What does the Fonz know about reverse mortgages?” The answer is not much, which is why I

strongly recommend that, if you are serious about a reverse mortgage, consult a registered investment advisor or an attorney who can help determine if it is in your best interests. (Jill Schlesinger, CFP, is the Editor-

Romeoville sends four events to EIU By Scott Taylor Sports Reporter

The past two years the sprint relays for Romeoville have been solid state qualifiers. This year, they are a force.

GIRLS TRACK Thanks in part to a great finishing kick by Kaitlyn Hammock, the Spartans, consisting also of Angel Jones, Latasha Fizer and Colleen Lilly, took home the 800-meter relay title last Thursday at the Downers Grove North Sectional, clocking in with a time of 1:42.9, the top seed time in the state. “It feels great,” Jones said.“This is actually my first year with Romeoville. Running with them is awesome. I’m speechless. It was amazing. I’m so happy right now.” In addition to the win, perhaps more special to the girls was that they rallied to beat rival Bolingbrook after the Raiders beat them out in the 400 relay. “It was just the drive to want to win,” Hammock said.“What made it even better was that it was Bolingbrook. To come back and

Spartan tandem takes third By Scott Taylor Sports Reporter

The Romeoville first doubles team has just been playing doubles together this year. That didn’t show when the dup of Edi Alfaro and Rich Jett teamed to take third place Saturday at the Southwest Prairie Conference tournament.

BOYS TENNIS “I think we are happy to place,” Jett said.“That was our goal from the beginning. We wanted to place in conference and we did it. We played very well today.” “We had some good shots,” Alfaro said. “We wanted to place in the top three and we did. We went out there and just kept hitting and weren’t worried about things.” In the third place match they romped over Oswego 6-1, 6-0. They opened play with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Plainfield South. That set up a semifinal match with eventual champion Oswego

East. The Spartans took the first set 6-3 and were up 5-4 in the second and two points away from victory before the Wolves came back to win the set 7-5 and third set 6-4. “We shook off our really tough loss yesterday and came back strong today,” Jett said. “I know we could’ve had it. We were up 4-1 in the second set.They called a line judge over and kind of iced us a little. But, that’s the game. If we could’ve beaten them we could’ve been first.Things would have been different.” “We had a chip on our shoulder,” Alfaro added. “We had to go out there and win it today.” The duo of David Ridderhoff and Brent Ranchero also took third place at No. 2 doubles. They opened with a 6-1, 7-6 win over Oswego East, fell 6-1, 6-7, 6-3 to Plainfield North and beat Plainfield Central 6-4, 6-2. Overall the Spartans finished in sixth place with eight points. Oswego won with 24. Romeoville had the fourth best regular season though, going 4-3

in dual play. “The past few seasons have been kind of rough and I’m hoping this season is a turning point for the program as a whole,” Jett stated. “We had a winning record in conference this year and it’s the first time we’ve done it in this conference. Hopefully the younger players will continue that into next season.” The first doubles team will have their work cut out at the Joliet West Sectional with a strong doubles contingent, but the way they have been playing, the chance is there to advance to state. The top four singles and doubles teams advance. “I think it will be tough,” Jett said. “But if we play the way we did today and in the tournament, we will do well. We’ve been practicing a lot together, even outside of practice. We have to be consistent.” “We’ve been playing a lot of doubles together,” Alfaro said. “In See THIRD, page 16

That’s a really good feeling, and it’s the fastest time we’ve ever run.” “I think it was all the adrenaline,” Fizer said. “We weren’t that far behind Bolingbrook in the 4x1, so that gave us hope in the 4x2. We just never gave up and did everything coach told us to do.

practice all we’ve been working on is doubles, too. We have to do what we know we can do and try not to think about it too much.”

Being a sectional champ stands out a lot, especially beating Bolingbrook. That has been our rival forever and people at school don’t think we can beat them. Shows that our hard work pays off.” While taking second in the 400 with a time of 48.34, it was good enough for the same four girls to advance to state. “That was our best time of the year,” Jones said. “We’re really happy about that.” “It’s a good feeling,” Lilly said. “We came a long way. The good competition makes us work harder. We encourage each other

Sports BOYS TRACK Perez Ford went 4-for-4 at the Southwest Prairie Conference meet, winning all four events he

entered. He took home titles in the shot put (49-8.5), discus (151-8), 100 (10.91) and 200 (21.77). Adam Thomas added a fourth-

place finish in the triple jump (39-7.5). Daniel Quan was fifth in the pole vault (12-3).

and we’re going Downstate. The key was having it in our heart and the handoffs.” Now that for the first time in the past three years they have the strong seed time, they are ready to advance to the finals of the state meet, which take place Saturday at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston. Friday is the prelims. “That’s been the goal since the beginning of the season,” Hammock said about making it to finals. “We opened the season kind of shaky, but now we are having phenomenal times. At one point we were 12th and

we just beat that time by more than a second and they take the top nine, so Saturday is within reach.” “The goal is to get an even faster time than today,” Lilly stated. “This gives us a lot of confidence.” “We’re hoping to get new PRs,” Fizer said. “We have a lot of confidence. Being sectional champs give us a big boost. There’s going to be no looking back since it’s my last year. Also headed to state for the Spartans is senior Shannon Hensley in the shot put and discus.

She won the discus title with a heave of 117-09 and placed second in the shot with a throw of 37-01. “All practice I worked on disc and barely worked on shot,” said Hensley, who was coming off a first place finish in the shot at conference. “I think that showed in shot, too. I could’ve popped a 40 out. I should have worked hard on both of them. I feel going to state is going to bring me publicity so I can go to school, even though it’s my first year out. I’m going to have to work on both equally now.”

If fans are wondering why there are fewer runs scored this year in high school baseball, they have to look no further than the bats that are being used. There was a rule change this year that the IHSA put into place, making all bats be BBCOR (BallBat Coefficient of Restitution) certified.

SPOTLIGHT “The bats have changed things,” Plainfield North coach John Darlington said. “We (went) 11 games and I (didn’t) see a home run from either team. Normally you (would) have some guys with five by now.” The BB core has changed in the bats, which is the ratio the ball goes off the bat. The goal was to make the aluminum bats to have the performance of wood bats. “You can tell,” Darlington said. “There were some balls we hit earlier in the year that just died and didn’t go anywhere. I think the key is to play defense and not make mistakes.”

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

BBCOR bats have had an impact on IHSA baseball.

Some players are noticing the change less as the season moves on. “I noticed it more when it was cold out, that was when it was really dead,” said Bolingbrook

senior Andrew Nordbye.“When it is warmer out, I don’t notice it as much.” Some like the change. “The sweet spot, I believe, is not as great (with the new

bats) as it was before,” Downers North coach Chad Isaacson said. “Personally, I like it. You earn the hits a little bit more. It’s just See BATS, page 19

Sports BATS Continued from page 18 the game of baseball. I like what they’re doing. College is doing it; why shouldn’t we?” Changes at the college level is probably one of the reasons why the change was made. “I think the rule was put into effect based on what colleges did,” Maine South coach Bill Milano said. “It’s based on safety and the ‘exit’ rate of ball leaving the bat. When the ball hits the bat, it doesn’t go as fast (now). Previous bats would have more life about them. With the new bats, the exit rates are not as high. A ball that’s hit 375 feet (for example) would have been hit 400 feet (with the old bats).That’s just me estimating. There was more ping in the bats (before).” The safety issue was likely the biggest issue for the change. “The bottom line it’s more for safety than anything, and I’m all for making the game safer,” Milano added. “On the flip side, the kids say with these bats when you use

them more you get more ping in them, but I don’t know if that’s true or not. That’s the rumor that’s out there. I don’t know how true that theory is. I haven’t done research on that one.” The changes have made coaches concentrate more on their team playing small ball and good defense. “We have to hit the ball the other way, it’s a big thing we’re believing in,” Romeoville coach Dave Haskins said. “We can’t just go up there and think about getting a hit. The most important thing is moving the runner along or bringing him in. I believe in our pitching and our defense. We’re taking a lot of pride in that. We’re focusing on defense, pitching and timely hitting.” “It’s about good defense and pitching,” Darlington said. “You have to throw strikes. You can’t allow a lot of base runners. “Fly balls aren’t going to go anywhere,” JCA coach Jared Voss said. “We get bunts down and execute hit and runs. Our guys buy into the small ball stuff and that opens up everything else, so we don’t notice it as much.”

The pitchers are the ones who are benefitting the most as they can throw a pitch and be less concerned with giving up a long ball. “It really helps the pitching because that one pitch you are worried about that can change the game probably isn’t going to happen anymore.” “The bats have really made a difference in this year’s game, scores are down and small ball is taking over,” Joliet West coach John Karczewski said. “Pitchers love it, hitters hate it!” The general consensus is that it is the major cause for the lower scoring, tighter games taking place this year. “Balls that were maybe home runs are (now) doubles,” Milano said.“We’ve only had three home runs this season. I think last year we had around eight total. Overall, the extra-base hits are down; home runs are down. We’ve had some kids get hits where the ball would hit the warning track or hit the fence where last year the ball would have gone over (the fence for a home run).” staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Real Estate & Business

Listen for heart of message Q. I have a coworker who is always giving me advice and trying to help me. I am good at what I do and tired of being insulted by this condescension. How do I get him to back off and quit assuming I’m incompetent? A. You can get him to back off by examining your own assumptions about your coworker and not automatically assuming he’s thinking you’re inept. Consider your workplace as a melting pot of different family positions and patterns. Your coworker may well be an oldest child who is accustomed to showing support to people he likes by providing help. Notice that the only motivation you attribute to your coworker right now is he’s trying to insult you. Ask yourself how often in your workplace you assume other people think you don’t know what you’re doing. If we pay attention to what makes us huffy at work, we’ll usually find a theme to what upsets us. If many situations at work that make you mad are about you believing that others think you’re incompetent, you may be consistently misinterpreting people in your workplace. The truth is that most people, most of the time, act the way they do because of what is going on in their world - not because of what they think of you! Imagine that everyone you work with is inside their own snow globe. Now imagine the outside of most people’s snow globes are painted black so they can’t see inside the snow

globe of others. You now have a more accurate picture of your workplace. What everyone does is not about you. If you don’t want the help of your coworker (or anyone else), try assuming he is attempting to be benevolent rather than invasive. Next time he attempts to assist, tell him privately that he is generous to take his time to help. Add that you’ve found it works better for you to do these projects alone as you can track them better. When we make negative assumptions about the motivations of others in our workplace, we have a hard time getting our coworkers to change. We tend to “share” our perception of why our coworker is doing the behavior we don’t like. Then we have the problem that our coworker is now insulted by our hostile assumptions about them. Instead, next time you are bothered by the actions of coworkers, deliberately contemplate possible innocent or positive motivations for their behavior. Now consider how you would ask them to change if you didn’t need to vent about their evil intentions.
