Compassion - can it ever exist in the workplace?

A few years ago, I set-off on a path to teach the world love and compassion at work. I designed a program that would help re-connect people at the people-level. This included a lot of human-centric ideas like using eye-contact, the power of laughing, mindfulness, and so on. It was the program that summed-up all of my 20-year corporate experience and all of the hardships I faced at work at that time. I found the same issues happening in whatever position I was in, and in whatever country I was working in at the time. I felt the pain of my fellow employees and the rigid rules that get thrown at us by the companies that we work for.
