Human Resources Human Resources Employ People Manage People Succeed at Work From Susan M. Heathfield, your Guide to Human Resources Vol. 12 No. 60 - ISSN: 1533-3698 May 7, 2011 Dear People: Despite predictions of economic recovery, unemployment was 9% for April 2011. The total jobs gained were 244,000. In the private sector, 268,000 jobs were gained but government jobs dropped by 24,000. Yet, my mail box is still filled with PR pitches telling me that up to 75% of employees are planning to leave their current employer when the economy improves. For now though, I'd advise employers to develop and add in employee retention strategies before the predicted exodus begins. The employees you will lose, without these strategies, will be your best and most skilled. I have advice for employees, too. You want to hold on to the job that you have, until you find a better one.

The Cynical Girl: F@%k It Friday: Chicks & Beer

---

F@%k It Friday: Chicks & Beer Posted: 06 May 2011 03:45 AM PDT I don’t drink beer. It makes me burp, it makes me fat, and it makes me stupid. I would just rather drink Pepsi and stay sober. But I know plenty of chicks who drink beer. In fact, it’s something the women of my generation (Gen X) do to distinguish themselves as interesting & complex & masculine. (There. I said it.) The chicks who drink microbrews? OMG, don’t mess with them. They can do anything: solve math problems, watch football, and play sports. Go equality! Are you a chick who drinks beer? Do you drink Keystone Light or a fancy mircobrew? Are you a dude who hates beer? Do other men mock you? Does anyone really like the taste of light beer?! (Gross.) Give us the deets. And PS — what really bothers me is when a woman looks like a stereotype, acts like a stereotype, and drinks like a stereotype. If your hair is ratty and you’re wearing denim cut-off shorts and rocking an MGD bottle while smoking, I’m going to shake my head at you. I’m sorry.
