I told someone in the kitchen how much I hated my job and I’m afraid she’ll tell. What can I do?
Wow, you’re a Bizpain kitchen talker…….hummmmm. What to do? Overall I don’t think you have much to worry about. So what if she tells? All you have to do is apologize for having a bad [...]

First Thing - Fire All The Elected Officials!
After all, they stopped being “elected” officials the minute they got their first paycheck. That’s when they entered a level of Bizpain that drives their thinking, their posturing and their actions. Their “election” turned into a “re-election.”
Our current elected lot has made a mess of just about everything. They’ve blamed the other guy, they have [...]

Hi. I’m Anita. I’m a Battered Employee.
I’m abused at work. And it just gets worse and worse.
I work in a small office of 4 employees with the owner/boss. I share something with the other employees that you may relate to - the battered employee syndrome.

29% feel a depression is not very likely and 13% believe it is not likely at all.
We can label things any [...]

Members of Congress are Wieners!
They’ve been winners so long that they’re struggling with who they really are. When you’re winning, it’s hard for people to see your errors or limited competence as an elected official.
You get sympthay if a loss is through error, but if you’re incompetent, well, you’re just a dick in office.
The job market, workforce experiences, [...]

I Lost My Job Last Week
I’m worried about my job and have started to drive less, look for coupons, do more on line than in person. Money is already tight and the tension at my company is really bad. People smile less and talk less. Beside worry, what else can I do?

You’re in Bizpain……. You’re not alone. Everyone [...]

The Sky Is Not Falling
A lot of things are falling today and people need to make sure that they are not those things. People need to hang on. People need to be the solution to the problems and stop blaming everyone else.
The world is being strangled by panic and professionally inadequate government. The strangle-hold will not last forever. The [...]
