There is some humour in the credit crunch!

Another week goes by, and inevitably there has been more bad news and job losses!! Bearing that in mind, I thought you would appreciate these two videos I came across that at least takes the lighter side of the credit...

Ten crazy jobs created by UK Councils!

I have been a little serious lately, so I thought I needed to redress the balance!! My last post gave me the idea for this, as I got thinking about the stupid jobs that have been created by councils in...

Are non-UK workers costing UK workers jobs?

Here is a quick thought for you to get your brains engaged! Are all the foreign (non-native UK) workers having a detrimental effect on the quality of workers in the UK? I have been traveling around the UK & Ireland...

Is your workplace a 'great place to work?'
