Checking the Rep: How to Keep a Close Eye on Help in Product Fulfillment
The Third Man People like people. No matter how much one might hold a sense of distrust towards mankind or a misanthropic attitude regarding civilization, even the hardest cynics need partners and friends. People are social animals; they need to have some support from other individuals.
