Look at some of the classified job ads on the internet today, read the descriptions and then compare the descriptions to the titles. Now, take a look at your own job title and compare it to what you actually do. Does the information match? Companies are obsessed with productivity nowadays, to the point where there are actual metrics for how much time you spend in the bathroom (seriously). Funny thing is, we are more productive than ever thanks to technology. It seems we are constantly plugged in to some kind of information stimuli, even when we should be relaxing, and companies seem to want to capitalize on this trend until they can discard you for the “newer model". There is no social contract at work, and the expected ramp up time for jobs is getting shorter and shorter. Now back to the job description. The descriptions are so general or so all-inclusive that it borders on false advertising; and the reward for doing a good job is more work (with no pay increase). There...

Being anti immigrant does not make you a patriot, especially since this country was built on immigration (listen to what I just said not what you interpreted) You do not have to be...

As we enter this early political season of presidential candidates, I have certain hopes, wishes, and dreams for the immediate future. ·          Imagine all candidates actually talked about what they can do to improve things rather than why the other person sucks… ·          Imagine all candidates talked about issues that matter to the masses rather than annoying red herring and distractions… ·          Imagine all candidates actually campaigned with viable solutions rather than platitudes… ·          Imagine all candidates stopped labeling themselves (and their opponents), just to score political points… ·          Imagine civil debates, where m...
