What if your manager told you whom you should vote for?
This isn’t far fetched. During my many years covering workplace issues, I’ve heard a few cases of employers trying to sway the voting preferences of their employees. But Wal-Mart takes the cake.
The company actually held formal meetings with employees and talked about how it would be better to vote Republican than Democratic.
First off, I think it’s a sad commentary if workers for any company choose a president based on what they’re bosses say. I have more faith in all of you out there.
But, Wal-Mart may have stepped over legal boundaries with this latest move, one in a series of attempts by the retail giant to derail unionization of its workers.
This from the Wall Street Journal law blog:
Labor groups — including American Rights at Work, the AFL-CIO and WakeUpWalMart.com — are filing the letter with the FEC (Federal Election Commission), asking the Commission to determine whethe...

I’ve had quite a few bosses in my career. The majority I disliked (to use a nice word). The majority! Can you stand it? That means out of the maybe 20 to 25 bosses I’ve had I only liked about three. Now, I will be the first one to admit, I’m tough to get along with sometimes. I’m opinionated and extremely honest. I’ve found bad bosses hate that in their subordinates more than anything else. Sometimes I felt that being a woman didn’t help me with cert...

We’ve all got our New Year’s resolutions, right? This morning I woke up with a renewed sense of purpose. I’ve got lots of projects on my plate, and I’ve already started developing new ones that I hope will propel me in my career.
The main thing is being positive and not letting your own negativity or failures derail you. All the stories the media does this week are about how everyone makes resolutions but few stick to them. NEGATIVE. Disregard all these stories.

I wrote an Op-Ed piece for USA Today that looks at the issue of whether teens should be working for a paycheck or only concentrating on academics and extracurricular activities.
Research suggests teens who work part time gain in a bunch of areas, everything from building confidence to understanding the value of a dollar.

Charlie Brown’s stupid tree…From: evetahmincioglu.com

So I’m sitting here on a Sunday thinking about work, thinking about money, thinking about how my life is going to play out next year. I should be hanging with my kids, watching some holiday movie. Netflix just delivered Rudolph and some Santa Claus movie but here I sit thinking about what the future holds.
What about college, healthcare, the electric bill. Our bill last month was astronomical and we didn’t even turn the heat on that much. I’m afraid of our January bill. M...
