My staff is Tired!

Anita Newjob

(I got this email from an executive of about 20 employees in an advertising space, with about 5 direct reports)
 
The business is bad right now.  My team is fantastic and I’d like to take all of them as a group and as individuals on an amazing world cruise; money in no object.
 
Unfortunately, it is.  And, [...]

What skills are needed for jobs in the future?

Anita Newjob

At some point in this global economic no-jobs, no-credit, recession, something will trigger a recovery and a change.
 
We’ll see it when we see jobs and hiring improve in all sectors.  When this will happen is an uncertainty, but it will happen.
 
Are you ready for it and are your skills ready?
 
Chances are that when companies start [...]

The French Strike against…. More Work!

The Worried Worker (W2)

Is this actually news?  The Frenc20:16:39h Striking?   Or, the French wanting to work less?
 
No offense to the French, but these are pretty much truisms.  So, when the news recently published a report about more than 1 Million French people striking throughout France against their President’s proposal to “raise the legal retirement age” the Worried Worker [...]

So, a yea-hoo pastor in Florida with a bad moustache, and the very few followers in his [...]

Labor Day – a holiday for many, another day without work for more

The Worried Worker (W2)

(we’ll be on vacation until September 8 – please do what you can to manage your Bizpain without us until then.)

With so many people out of work and even more looking for work and those working stressed out about losing their jobs and not being able to “stick it to the man,” Labor Day [...]

Recognition is more than donuts on Friday!

Letter To W2

Dear W2:

Recognition is not bringing in donuts, its personal communication that is witnessed by others so everyone can enjoy the positive vibes.   But, my managers do very little in this regard, and the donuts he brings are pretty bad; they may even be day old.  How can we get the message to him to do [...]
