WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS POSSIBLE ISSUE!! AND NOW IT IS HERE!!

In prior posts, I have talked about what businesses are doing due to the onslaught of people who are quitting. This particular post is from the perspective of the person leaving the organization. This article is great because it urges caution on how you should resign. It does not suggest you should not leave, just how is the best way to do it. The author urges you to think through exactly the steps you should and should not take when quitting. It does not attempt to suggest that you should not quit, but what will be the best and most effect way to accomplish this. It's a good and reasonable read from Rachel Feintzeig of the Wall Street Journal.

These questions are: "How much time do I spend on Facebook? How's my pulse when I get close to a deadline? How often am I distracted? Does my work improve when I sleep better? Do I get more done if I exercise before work?" All great questions which we would want to know if we are interested in our productivity. I know I certainly would. The article when you read it goes on to point out that there are software tools available right now that can

How True!!

In a recent Huffington Post Business posting, Jodie Levin-Epstein could not have said it better in her piece, "Don't Cut Off Your Knows." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jodie-levinepstein/dont-cut-off-your-knows_b_832286.html Congress is killing our future and any potential increases in productivity by their drastic cuts in education and particularly in worker training. Their drastic cuts to such programs as the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) and other programs are illogical and so poorly thought out that they are killing our future. Yes, we may need to cut some of the fat out of our budget, but this is not the place to do it. She says and I quote, "Even though unemployment has declined in recent months, it's still significantly higher than it was before the start of the recession. Further, given the skills/jobs mismatch that many economists have noted, now is the worst possible time to cut investment in workforce devdelopment programs." Sheer lo
