| | | I have no idea why this occurs or where it comes from, but I'm always a bit perplexed when I hear people put the letter "r" on the end of words that end with "a." My personal observation is that it seems to be British people and some Americans from parts of the East Coast (maybe New Englanders?). | | Aug 27, 2008 | |
| | | Kudos to Scott Westcott, author of a recent Inc. article, for bringing a slightly different angle to the flextime story. | | Aug 26, 2008 | |
| | | I am 100% certain that my colleague Cara Welch will be blogging about the Democratic Convention in her Public Policy Perspectives blog, but thought I would post a quick item from my perspective while she's still on vacation. | | Aug 22, 2008 | |
| | | I had a chance to grind through the entire August 18 issue of Fortune last night. (Sidebar: The cover features a photo of a fairly serious and striking woman named Meredith Whitney, who is apparently one of the more prescient banking analysts at Oppenheimer. It's not until you read the article that you learn that she's married to a professional wrestler. Huh?) | | Aug 21, 2008 | |
| | | I must have missed it, but it seems that the most golden of all companies today, Google (and I admit that I too am a fan) increased its on-site child care cost earlier this year. | | Aug 14, 2008 | |
| | | I'm sure you noticed that we released our 35th annual Salary Budget Survey in the past week or so (that's officially the coral anniversary, in case you were wondering). | | Aug 12, 2008 | |
| | | Increasing postal service costs may be "the final nail in the coffin" for a bunch of consumer (not association) magazines that are barely staying above water at this point. | | Aug 8, 2008 | |
| | | If you attended our annual conference in Philadelphia a few months ago, you were probably abundantly aware that we did our best to make the conference "greener" than it ever has been before. | | Aug 5, 2008 | |
| | | I am on vacation this week (July 28-Aug. 1). | | Jul 28, 2008 | |
| | | Recent item published on MarketWatch got my attention with the provocative headline: "Fed Doesn't Want You to Get a Raise &." As you know, this comes out just a few weeks before WorldatWork issues our annual Salary Budget Survey. | | Jul 18, 2008 | |
