Today is Snark Free Day – [VIDEO]

Did you know that today is 'Snark Free Day'? Whatever...

Do you think you can go a day without being snarky? I don't even know if I can. I don't even know if there would be a Q Morning Show without the snark...

A group of public relations professionals representing 50+ markets across the nation are hosting the second annual “Snark Free Day” today Tuesday, October 21, 2014 to build awareness around the growing incivility and snarky behavior all around us. The nationwide affiliates of PRConsultants Group (PRCG) including The Knight Canney Group of Portland, have pledged to lose the snark and embrace civility for 24 hours — at work, home, school, and online.

What is Snark?

Snark is more than just occasional sarcasm or snide remarks. It’s a negative attitude that shows up in our daily communication, face-to-face or in social media, and it often damages relationships and brings down morale in general. It's really bad at the office. According to a study last year, 78 percent of those who were on the receiving end of incivility said their commitment to the organization declined and 66 percent said their work performance declined.

Well...when you put it like that - it does seem like we could loose the snark for 24 hours...
