Every great economic system has flaws but the current system in our country seems to be riddled with fleas.
Bailout, rescue, seizure, melt-down, infusion, fire-sale, screwed, foreclosure, failure, the words go on and on and none of the them are pretty.
Lawmakers tout the hours and hours they spent in the last week or so trying to [...]

I want revenge. Help me. We had a big project due and Ellen didn’t do her part at all. When we presented, Ellen took all the credit. Later, I heard that she actually told our manager that I was the one who didn’t do their part. The boss believed her and chewed me out [...]
Washington Mutual is a sad story for everyone but at least two very savvy guys.
CEO Kerry Killinger, fired in early September earned about $15 million in 2007 and will get a lot more for 2008 just by being asked to leave due to a general feeling that he wasn’t performing very well.

It’s clear that it is far easier to run away from office than it is to run for office. Come on, neither the Dalai Obama nor McCain can really do the job and they’re apparently the best that we can offer Americans.
It’s pretty pathetic – they’re both wishy washy, they’re both too presidential to be [...]

Would a Four Day Work Week reduce your bizpain?
Would it [...]

The boss’s son is an idiot and is going to take over the business. We make about a thousand sandwiches a day for a lot of busy business people and all he does is walk around and nibble on pieces of sandwich meat and look at everyone as if they’re lazy and stupid. I [...]

Dear W2
We have strict meeting rules that everyone has to follow – except the executives. We’re expected to be in a room early, ready to begin a meeting exactly at the scheduled time. Today, we started one late and ended it late, which made me late for my next one, and I didn’t have time [...]
….and the four marched in to save the world from financial failure….
It’s hard to grasp just how close all United States workers came to being broke and unemployed last week – there are so many pundits, debaters and commentators and, of course, appointed and elected officials arguing about it that no one knows for sure.
