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. 'We’re turning off our back-of-the-house and lobby lights, for one hour in an effort to raise awareness for a worldwide energy conservation effort,' said Sydney Quays, director of marketing communications, Berjaya Starbucks Coffee Company Sdn Bhd.

The King is ailing, who will succeed the King? That is of course the question on the mind of Apple’s shareholders, employees and to a lesser extent its customers and clients (who will jump to a Droid or Google, if and when they create products that excite and service them as well as Apple products). Despite protestations and reassurances from Jobs and Apple COO, Tim Cook, and despite their not just weathering, but thriving during Jobs-less times, an Apple without Jobs makes many nervous to their core. If we were to think of Jobs not as a unique and irreproducible person, but as a mindset, skill set and capacity that could be deconstructed and then modeled, not only could Apple continue its amazing growth, but other companies might follow suit. Much has been written about Jobs trying to figure out his “secret sauce” so that others might use it to propel their companies and careers to extraordinary outcomes. 1. Dropped out of Reed College 2. Calligraphy 3. Psychedelics...

Hi Friends, I came across this interesting review of RBS done by the employees of RBS on www.talentequity.in I am sharing it with you. An emoloyee wrote: What I like about RBS Associates: " Good work and personal life balance. Good compensation and benefits and domain learning opportunities though not very good but still adequate opportunities are there." What I don't like about RBS Associates: “Kind of work is not very good. Job Security in the turbulent financial markets is not very good. Good work mostly done out of onsite office locations " To read more of this and other reviews of RBS Associates: http:// bit.ly/xKILv Please revert with your views. Regards Samera

Hi Friends, I am sharing with the reviews of IBM on work culture, growth prospects salary, done by their employees. Please share your views. A Project Manager wrote: What I like about IBM: "IBM offers a very flexible working environment. In most cases, no one will ask you what time you come or go from office. Neither the logs of the swipe card will be analyzed to take some action against you in normal circumstances. In special circumstances, the company can even allow you to work from home. No blocking of internet or phones . All in all, you are "not" working in a jail. It has a wealth of knowledge..... " What I don't like about IBM: "Sometimes you feel that there are too many processes to follow. The company is so huge that it is a challenge to make people aware of existing processes. I have often seen it happening that sometimes small groups within IBM try to develop their own processes, often unaware that such a best practice already exists and can be leveraged.
