Your Boss Sucks

Nick Steele Leave a comment

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.

Nothing really annoys me more than people correcting my spelling on my social media sites. It just urks me for some reason. It’s the same with when I talk and don’t say something correctly. Dude, calm down. I’m not giving a speech or writing a thesis so as long as the message is communicated then the goal was accomplished. “I think you meant YOU’RE” oh shut up. You obviously understood the post right? Thats the whole point of communication! So after saying that, it pains me to say that you should probably watch the way you post on Facebook. Why?

Ex-STRESS Yourself!

Nick Steele Leave a comment

I’m not really sure what the title means but I just got done writing that Madonna/Lady Gaga post and it made sense to me so DEAL WITH IT. What this post is supposed to be about is some hidden stresses in your life that will most likely make as much sense as the title.  For instance, leaving a night light on could be a contributing factor to your stress. What? I always sleep with a light on and I don’t feel stressed (GET OFF MY BACK ALREADY!). There are 3 more hidden stress givers…hidden after the jump. (Get it? I HID the HIDDEN stresses! Get it?…classic Nick right there.)

Asking someone to marry you isn’t the only time that you may need to get down on one knee. You should be there daily at work behind your boss, if you want to succeed that is. 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!

Do you ever feel like you’re not creative enough at work? We all have days where the brain just does NOT want to cooperate.

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 . . .
