  1. I once got quite a bit of respect for pulling the HR thing here at my firm, with someone who was a total batshit crazy person (who I’d worked with once and she was totally normal).

    HR freaks people out but they are there to protect good employees.

  2. This is why I stay here at the firm I’m currently at though woefully underpayed…no hassle, get along great with head of the firm, can trade my own account, etc, etc, etc.

    It’s just that the underpaying is beginning to get old!!!

  3. I agree with Dave. Politicians on both sides are over promising re jobs. I liked when Rubio (R, Florida Senate candidate) said that he didn’t see it as government’s role to create jobs, but to encourage the private sector to do so. Rare honesty & doesn’t seem to have hurt him in the polls.

  4. DIBS, I’ve been the one who’s be polling who’s joining the boyz for lunch. Duh, of course I’m for lunch.

    like CGar, I get shit from my boss and boss’ boss all the time. only diff is they “smile fuck” pretty often vs. outright hostility

  5. “We are still, however, bordering on another downfall and the current administration needs to implement some spending away from some areas and towards others that will actually boost employment and spending. ”

    What areas would that be? Companies are sitting on stacks of cash and NOT hiring. Do we expect the government to hire people?

    I really believe this is something the market can and will work out overtime. People really just need to get used to unemployment being what it is for a while.
