Your Boss Sucks

No matter what you think of your current boss, compared to this guy he SUCKS! That is unless YOUR boss is taking you and your fellow employees on an all expense paid 4 day trip to Majorca. Which is an island beach resort off the coast of Spain. If he is then I take it back, your boss is pretty awesome. Most likely though, he didn’t, hasn’t, won’t anytime in the near future be that cool.

Creditsafe is a finance company in Europe, and recently the owner decided to reward his employees for helping the company achieve 15 years of steady growth. So he’s taking them on an all-expenses-paid vacation. 46-year-old Cato Syversen will pay almost half a million dollars to take ALL 500 of his employees on a four-day trip to Majorca.

Kind of makes you want to quit your job huh? And YES that is a picture of Majorca.

I am the first person to admit I don’t do well with authority, which is why I am in radio, but some times you just need to put some chapstick on and pucker up! Oh, and stop using fake tanner. Believe it or not Cosmo found 4 things that you can do to make your boss like you more. Both of those things I said made the cut, read the others after the jump. Or continue to be a failure at work and never get ahead. YOUR CHOICE!

Facebook KNOWS You!

Although you may watch what you say or do on Facebook because of your job (Tell me about IT!) it still may give your employers more information about you than you originally thought.

Researchers from Northern Illinois, the University of Evansville, and Auburn found that looking at people’s Facebook pages for just ten minutes could predict how well they’d do on the job.

They had people in Human Resources look at the Facebook pages of job applicants and grade them on traits like intellectual curiosity, conscientiousness, agreeability, and whether they were extraverted.

After six months on the job, supervisors evaluated the candidates on the same traits . . .
