It’s Man vs. Machine in the Battle for Employment
Robots are a popular theme in science fiction. Usually they start off doing all the menial jobs that humans don’t want to do anymore, like street sweeping, housework and baby sitting. But then they start to think for themselves and it all goes horribly pear shaped.
10 reasons why people hate their jobs!
I’ve seen this question asked over and over – what do you hate most about your job? Well, here are 10 peeves from employees around the world (in no particular order)!

My Top 5 Unexpected Workplace Benefits
There is always a lot of negative chatter within the job hunting industry – it can be a frustrating time for anyone looking for job or having a tough time in their own job. So here’s a quick post on some of the reasons I’ve enjoyed my various jobs over the years…
Let it all out – what do you hate about your job?
OK, everyone has had a job that they hated to varying degrees – maybe it’s just one small thing that annoys you, or perhaps you remember an old job that still makes you shudder! A few years ago I started a thread on our old forums so people could share their experiences and let off a bit of steam, so I thought I would revive some of the comments here. Feel free to post a comment with your own stories!
Surviving the office party
Aka – get drunk and tell the boss what you really think of him!
What to do about problem supervisors
If you have ever quit a job because you didn’t get along with your boss, you are not alone. A Gallup Poll of over a million employees found that how long workers stay at companies and how productive they are is determined by their relationship with their immediate supervisor.

The Right Way to Quit Your Job
After the stressful process of looking for a new job while you’re still employed, accepting an offer is a huge relief. At last, you’re free! You probably can’t wait to share your good fortune with the world and tell your boss where she can shove that evil assignment she gave you last week. You might think that since you’re leaving, you don’t have to worry what people think of you anymore. This is not the case. Unless you want to erase everything you’ve accomplished since you first accepted this job, your departure must be as strategic and deliberate as your arrival.
Resignation letter – how to write a resignation letter
So you’re handing in your resignation? Well assuming they don’t escort you off the premises straight away, they will probably ask you to hand in your resignation letter. Clearly you can’t say, “I hated my boss, I was offered more money elsewhere” when writing a letter of resignation! Well, you could, but you would end up burning some bridges.
People are not pegs
“…start thinking of yourself as an artist and your life as a work-in-progress. Works-in-progress are never perfect. But changes can be made…Art evolves. So does life. Art is never stagnant. Neither is life. The beautiful, authentic life you are creating for yourself is your art. It’s the highest art.”

Minimum wage law – information about the minimum wage
Governments implement minimum wage law to provide employees with a minimum level of standards and fairness in the workplace. Obviously the minimum wage rates and legislations vary from country to country.
