Its always the lowest in heirarchy who get beaten. Never does Layoff affect non-performing Leads and Managers. Ppl who have no support often get laid off in name of poor performance. Most of it is personal bias :( Hope things improve

The Idea of Work-sharing This the new mantra in the organizations in some parts of Europe and Japan where they are not laying of employees due to recession, rather than there is salary cut and the work is shared between two or three people what was previously one person's job. The idea is that employees are required to share the pain of coping with hard times while everyone gets to keep their jobs even if they're paid less. Worksharing is the latest buzzword in Japan Inc. Proponents say it's a good way to avoid American style layoffs in a society that has long fostered lifetime employment. Companies like Toyota Motor Corp, Mazda Motor Corp, Toshiba Corp. and ...

Switching off for Earth Hour Come March 28, all 123 Starbucks stores across Malaysia will switch off its non-essential lights from 8.30pm to 9.30pm to mark Earth Hour.

Sony is yet again ready to layoff 10,000 employees. It is not clear if this will be from Japan or overseas. This makes us think that how unpredictable can working in big brands be. We normally think that we should go for a big brand instead of working for a small company but when incidents like this happen they tear away our dreams, make us rethink and take away our sleep. If a company is going to lay off so many people where would they go, what would they do and how will they move forward. We have no answer to these questions. According to Nikkei‘s sources, Sony might also request that its seven executive directors — including Stringer — return their yearly bonuses. Sony hasn’t officially confirmed the report, but Hirai is set to brief the company’s business plan on Thursday, March 12.

Many of us use facebook. Job hhunting on facebook does not look much believable and we are forced to think that will it work? Still there are few things which can be done to atleast increase our possibilities. 1. Join right communities and interact with right poeple. 2. Search for apps which have job search options. 3. Potray yourself in the best possible way. 4. Mention your professional skills on your profile. 5. Keep an eye on adverts, there are many job openings in them We all work hard for a better life and we always want better job than the one we have. So we should use all the possible means to make it happen.

The changing work dynamics increasing pressure is making many employees to change their job. Many of them either change their profile, change companies, or pursue their passion....... One wrong reaction and you are most likely to severe relationships.But it comes as a pleasant surprise that things are changing for the better. Increasingly, the attitude of organisations towards the person who desires to leave is becoming amicable. How notice period issues can be better managed??? Here are some simple steps which can be followed to serve your notice period in a constructive smoother way.... a) Good reason: Separation requires a good reason, so first have a good reason to leave and stick by it. Counter offers might come your way but stick by your gun, decline politely. b) Complete your obligations: You should complete your obligations towards your current employer. Do your work with the same enthusiasm as before give your best. Don't give them the last chance to raise finger on...

HI The most stressful part of job interview is to get stuck in those questions which are generic in nature but nevertheless difficult to answer. Here is a few answers to those questions, that should help you. 01 Tell us about yourself? For a long time, I would go around talking about my place of birth, education and work experience etc etc. Then I realised how silly it sounds. Interviewers want to know the candidates skillsets, strengths and achievements in the past and how these are related to the requirement of job. For example: “I am really passionate about my work. Whatever I do I do it with full of my dedication, determination and devotion. I am working in insurance sales for last two years and that has given me a lot confidence and taught me the importance of time management and goal setting. I have been consistently achieving my targets for the last 3 quarters. I also have organized and been part of various road shows and counseling activity for lead generation”. To read...
