iPad requires more power than standard USB port puts out due to larger higher capacity battery.

Use the wall charger or buy a computer with hi power USB ports.

If your work computer is a desktop you can try the usb ports in the back of the computer because sometimes they are high powered usb ports. If you are buying a new computer you should look at the specifications on that computer before buying it. Maybe the specifications will tell you how many usb ports are on the computer. If it is a Windows computer you can follow thiis article to tell which ports on the computer art 2.0 usb ports http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1174
