I imagine I won’t be alone in wishing a “good riddance” to 2008 once the clock hits midnight this evening.
And I can’t really argue with Marie Coco from the Washington Post Writers Group when she writes that the corporate fools who wrecked our nation’s economy were men. Coco makes the point that no top female executives were called before Congress to explain the dumb moves their companies made.
Author Richard A. Smith, writing for the Huffington Post, has created an extremely comprehensive list of 50 things you can do to help move your career forward in 2009.
I found an interesting blog the other day that chronicles the challenge that a recent college grad is having in landing a job in the public-relations industry. The blog, PublicRelations101, shows just how tough it is out there for new college grads. The blog’s author, instead of working in the PR business, is now holding down a job at a Subway restaurant. Not surpisingly to anyone who’s worked in fast food (let me tell you about my former glory days at a Dairy Queen in Chicago), the author absolutely hates her sandwich-slinging career.
In yet one more unneeded sign that the nation’s economy is in free-fall, we get the news, just one day after Christmas, that the holiday shopping season was every bit as dismal as everyone expected.
I’m no fan of the Catholic Church, I’ll admit. And I’m less than enamored with its new pope. But I will give credit to Pope Benedict XVI for the Christmas message he gave this year.
It’s easy with all the sour economic news flooding the airwaves and filling newspaper space to think that no one’s job is safe these days. But that simply isn’t true.
Baydan says that he has hired an extra 100 staffers to meet increased orders for the shoe. So, yes, Pres. Bush has managed to create some new jobs. It’s just too bad they’re not here in the United States.
Tough times call for tough measures. At least it does for employees. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that workers’ annual pay raises will hit a new low this December, one not seen for three decades.
But … did the holiday party this employer throw have to feel so corporate? |
