 IS YOUR JOB FUN???

It should be. I wasted so many years of my life as a shopgirl, working for a low wage to earn managers and a corporation big money, working the hours they wanted me to work, putting up with bad moods, bullying supervisors, poorly trained and mentally ill managers, and unfair, discriminatory office politics.

Now I am my own boss, working the hours I choose, working from my home, car, the park, the pool-- in fact, I can take my office with me wherever I go!

Squidoo to Retire Upmarket Business Magazine

Squidoo is retiring their Upmarket magazine. Launched about 8 months ago, the content and feel of Upmarket was geared towards business owners and entrepreneurs. With its niche following, Upmarket has focused on insider business tips and techniques through targeted articles.

 

In mid August, Upmarket will be retired from the regular Squidoo magazine line up (which includes GoodVeg, SoCrafty and a new home decor magazine called  'Cozy.') The existing business pages (known as "lenses" on Squidoo) will still be live, but no longer promoted in magazine form, and the Upmarket theme will no longer appear on the lenses.

 Squidoo is a community of writers and web pages where self-employed writers and photographers can earn a little money creating web pages about various topics.

What Makes a Shop Girl or Other Employee Disgruntled?

We so often hear of disgruntled employees in the news. I know quite a few shop girls who are disgruntled -- for good reason.

These managers drive their workers crazy and ensure that productivity falls off due to their poor management techniques.
