Go on vent - you'll feel better!

Heather Mundell points to a great tool for creating your fantasy resignation letter. The Resignator allows you to choose the type of letter you want to write depending on your mood (choices include abusive, passive-aggressive, bitter or whiney).

Heather posted this under her 'just for fun'category, but I think it can also be a nice way of letting off steam. Just as long as you don't actually send the letter!

The Employees Revolt!

It's a cold Saturday and we're bracing for a huge storm, so I started surfing the blogosphere and came across this wonderful example of karma.

I wonder if this manager will rethink his approach when he finds a new batch of employees.

Oh, and if you recognized your boss, what are you waiting for? I'm not recommending walking out and putting up a sign, but it's definitely time to polish up that resume.

Ed Helms' Job Search

Johanna at Hiring Technical People, points to a great job search segment on Jon Stewart's Daily Show. I'm a little late with this as the clip aired two weeks ago, but I didn't know the Daily Show put videos online until I saw Johanna's piece. This is definitely worth a look.
