#20: White collar workers laid off
Work bit 1: If you are a white-collar worker, you are more likely to be laid off nowadays. But you are also likely to get rehired. Unemployment among college graduates is just over 2%.
Work bit 2: Why does your male boss often look so cross? Researchers at the University of Melbourne in Australia have shown that men are acutely sensitive to the anger of other men. So it seems that if a male wants attention, he should get angry.
Work bit 3: Every time I hear about layoffs I think of Akio Morita, the founder of Sony, who said: “If we face a recession, we should not lay off employees; the company should sacrifice a profit. It's management's risk and management's responsibility. Employees are not guilty; why should they suffer?”
Work bit 4: I also remember a Polish proverb: Under capitalism man exploits man; under socialism the reverse is true.
