One small problem: the "Ark of the Covenant" refers to a relic that held the original Ten Commandments. (See Exodus, Leviticus, et al). The Ark referred to here is the one that had all the animals (two of every unclean, seven of every clean one). See Genesis chapters eight and nine.
No one mentioned Microsoft Office. Most people who use it hate it, but almost no one in the corporate world can live without it. it's the classic situation of "I use it because I have to."
This works when sharing company problems with those in charge, or for conflicts in general.
1) Never challenge. Don't tell someone that if they do (do not) do something, then you will do (not do) something.
2) Never condescend. Don't try to make people think that you know more than they do. What you'll end up doing is making yourself look like a smart-ass who will soon need a job.
3) Never condemn. Avoid using words like "always" and "never." These words leave a sense of finality with people, and they feel as if you're not giving them a chance.
