"In the modern professional workplace, people skills are
often an important part of "how well" people do their job,
particularly if that job involves interacting with other
people to obtain information, document reviews, etc., ... "

Agreed, but this is a different situation than I was thinking of. Here,
you *must* interact with other people to do your job, so it's directly
related to the performing of your job duties. (While we're about it,
I've encountered some cranky wait staff who I thought should be doing
something else.) In my library job, I didn't need to obtain any
information from others to do the work.

" ... and putting in 10-12 hour days while everyone wonders
whether the next product release is going to make or
break a fledgling company."

Also agreed, but this doesn't seem like so much a matter of people
skills as it does an overall attitude, willingness to do your part to
fill a need, and ability to care about what goes on around you.
