Baldwin said that one of the parts of office etiquette he dreaded most was the question of kissing on both cheeks. "It was each person's responsibility, upon arrival, to visit other people's desks and wish them good morning, and often kiss each person once on each cheek, depending on the parties' personal relationship, genders, and respective positions in the corporate hierarchy," he wrote. "It definitely wasn't appropriate to kiss your boss, except when it was, though it was correct to kiss your underlings, except when it wasn't.... Honestly, I had no idea how it worked."
