Company Gets F*ed by Former Employee |

Found a new favorite blog for my RSS feed today - consumerist.com. It’s a blog for and by consumers of retail products and other goods and services with rants, raves, and helpful tips for getting your way. As a retail employee, I’ve learned lots of tricks for getting exactly what you want from a company (mostly from dealing with asshole customers on my end and having to give them exactly what they want). But this site is good for everyone, as there’s info about credit cards, coustomer service reviews, and the government organizations that regulate consumerism.
Posted on Consumerist today was a big, f-you goodbye letter from a former employee of Circuit City. In this blog, he lists 27 “confessions” of ethically-debatable business practices forced upon unwitting consumers. I found this funny, informative, and am now inspired to do something like this the next time I quit a job.
Thank goodness for disgruntled retail workers. You (and me) make the world go ’round…

More men reporting sexual abuse at work |

Everything is politically correct these days, so much so that doing nice things like opening a door to the local coffee joint for a stranger who is walking in at the same time could be perceived in a wrong way. At work, in certain environments, each and every word that you speak to a co-worker needs to be thought out, same with email. Sexual harassment is something that is to be taken very seriously and the days of men speaking like men in a workplace are mostly all over.
Woman on the other are also often in a position to not only be higher in the food chain in the office but can also be on the dominant end of sexual harassing.
Cases filed by men made up 15.4 percent of the 12,025 sexual harassment charges in fiscal year 2006, compared to 14.3 percent in 2005 and 11.6 percent a decade ago
The study does not say who the harasser is though so it could be other men, it is too tuff to say. From my personal experience, it is always best to air err on the side of caution in the workplace but by no means be rude and ignorant. If you have the opportunity to open the door for someone, do so. Small gestures of kindness should never be looked at in the wrong way.
