Controversy Alert Unions Close Hostess (who is the Ding Dong)

Controversy Alert Unions Close Hostess (who is the Ding Dong) In school I read The Jungle.  This was an awesome, eye-opening book.  If you havent read it I suggest you get it and read it over the holidays. This book showed me why unions exist.  To battle the atrocities of what a big, abusive company did to employees.  From wages to working condition, unions swoop in to solve problems. Unions had a very important purpose.  But many have questioned whether that purpose is now in the past, and ask if unions have grown too abusive? I know a guy who didnt join the union at the U.S. Post Office.  He left work and the union boss drove after him,  harassing  and threatening him like a crazy man. What the heck is that?? I went to school with a guy who was a prison guard in Denver.  He said the union would protect other guards who came to work drunk or high.  They would not ever fear losing their jobs, because the union was there to save them. That the heck is that?? And today we read that Hostess is saying, because of failed negotiations with multiple unions, they will pull the plug, and 18,500 people will lose their jobs. My guess: Another company will buy all of the assets of Hostess (patents, trademarks, factories, etc.) and continue production, and hire a lot of people back but there will be people hurt because two groups (Hostess management and the multiple unions involved) could not come to an agreement. It sounds like Hostess is saying Look, were hurt.  Were wounded.  Were not as financially healthy as you think we are.  We just cant pay the wages you are demanding. And the union is likely saying Get over yourself.  We know you are rich and wealthy.  We want fair pay!  Our union members work really hard for this stuff! And Hostess probably says Competition has taken market share and eaten into our profits.  The cost of goods has gone up.  We simply dont have the money to cover what you are demanding. And the union says We dont care what you say, and we arent willing to work things out.  Its all or nothing. And Hostess must have to say Well, there is nothing there to take from.  Were done.  We have no choice. Who loses?  The people.  What about the people who *had* pensions.  If Hostess closes, will anyone who acquires them continue or honor those pensions?  If not, did the unions just make a whole lot of retired people lose everything? We dont need another 18,500 people on the streets looking for work. Unions have got to figure out how to stop bullying companies (and members and non-members).  It seems like right now they act like the spoiled kid who demands more than his parents can give him.  Maybe instead of playing the entitled kid role, the union should play a partner role with the company. But then again, is it the obligation of the company to share equal footing with unions, who dont seem to have the long-term, sustainable health of the company in their interest? A sick company that pays higher-than-fair wages is not sustainable. This is a lose-lose-lose situation, and I think you can tell where I place the blame.

4 Unique Ways to Fundraise for Your Nonprofit - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

4 Unique Ways to Fundraise for Your Nonprofit - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Most nonprofits face a dilemma at some point in their existence. They are supposed to focus on a positive goal without being driven by profit, yet funds are always necessary to continue operations. Grants are increasingly competitive and the market is crowded with other nonprofit groups, so it is difficult to stand out. Also, there are pitfalls along the way: Organizations that devote much of their time and efforts to fundraising can raise eyebrows. It’s hard to take an organization dedicated to feeding hungry refugees seriously when they blow a portion of their budget on paying for Bono to fly out and promote them. Luckily, it is possible to fundraise effectively without needing to dedicate half of your staff and time to the cause. Strategic use of social media and crowdfunding can help fund your nonprofit, in addition to connecting you to power donors and corporate sponsors. Find Great Volunteers Volunteers can play a crucial role in any nonprofit organization. They benefit not only the nonprofit with their skills and time, but also themselves by gaining valuable experience. In an increasingly tech-savvy world, it is easier than ever before to have volunteers work remotely on projects of direct interest. They can program apps, manage social media accounts and organize crowdfunding campaigns from halfway across the globe if need be. Online fundraising is particularly suited to volunteers. Volunteers can have a meaningful impact without needing direct oversight by management or field staff, which allows staff to faithfully complete their jobs in saving or transforming lives through charity without having to worry about spending their time online fundraising. When posting a volunteer position, it is important to explicitly state the organization’s aim in overseeing a volunteer â€" specific goals and deliverables with due dates. A flexible schedule will respect the volunteer’s time constraints, while allowing the organization to receive results by concrete deadlines. Finding volunteers is easy through the following jobs boards: Devex.com Reliefweb.int Idealist.org Use Social Media to Start a Buzz There are an endless number of worthy causes in this world, so yours needs to make an impression. Social media is a key multiplier when it comes to financing. A well-made video highlighting an important problem, like starvation or children with HIV/AIDS, can go viral on YouTube and raise massive amounts of awareness about your organization. It’s especially important to make sure the video isn’t too slick or expensive: Donors can tell if you just blew thousands of dollars on a PR agency to shoot your latest fundraising ad. Better to hire local staff and beneficiaries to tell their own story on camera, and pay local journalists a fair wage to produce it. Don’t forget that social media exposure can be a liability as much as an asset â€" remember the disastrous Kony 2012 campaign? Crowdfund to Bring Your Work to Individual Donors Finding a corporate sponsor may sound like the easiest way to secure lots of funding, and I guess it’s a more likely scenario than winning the lottery for your nonprofit. Corporate sponsors accounted for only 5 percent of all donations in 2016. Compare this to the potential of individual donors â€" a study this year by the Marts and Lundy, a philanthropy consultancy, found that 71.1 percent of charitable donations came from individual donors. Technology has enabled unparalleled access to the masses today. A donor could provide a gift using only five minutes of her time and a few swipes on a smartphone. Give it a shot and start funding a project. The following crowdfunding platforms are great ways to generate individual donations and spread awareness of your cause: Kickstarter.com Indiegogo.com CauseVox.com Crowdwise.com Causes.com You can crowdfund for specific projects, but what do you do when a different project ends and your organization is left with a trove of laptops and extra medical supplies? Online auction spaces are playing an increasing role in fundraising efforts for nonprofits. You can sell used equipment or even event tickets, sometimes at a premium, at market value or more to reduce your costs and free up cash for new projects. Know Your Donors Your method of communication should be tailored to your desired demographic. You need to be selective in the types of donors you approach away from social media. Some corporations may already have designated philanthropic interests, and if you are a woman’s health organization pitching your cause to a company that wants to decrease global warming, you will have an uphill battle ahead. Ask your contacts in advance if the company is likely to have a serious interest in your nonprofit. It is also important to realize that donors have specific objectives they are trying to achieve as well. They are driven by profit â€" how will donating to your nonprofit increase their bottom line? Outline your pitch so you can show executives exactly how you would to that. Maybe you have a huge, positive social media presence and their donation would end up increasing their brand awareness. At the very least, your organization should obtain 501(c)(3) status so donations to your nonprofit are tax-exempt. It exempts you from most state taxation schemes and allows your donors to receive a tax break. Aside from the desire to improve the world, tax exemption can be one of the most compelling reasons to donate. Striking a Balance Has Never Been Easier in Fundraising Funding is almost always the most difficult part about running a nonprofit. It doesn’t matter how great and effective your project may be â€" without the funding, it’s a no-go. At the same time, however, it’s important not to focus too much on fundraising, which could lead to criticism that your charity is more about the money than actually helping those in need. It’s thus important to strike a proper balance and ensure you stay grounded to your nonprofit’s real mission. If you are truly passionate about your project and can prove that it actually works, getting funding will come far more naturally. Saving the world just got a tiny bit easier.

Dos and Donts The Office Holiday Party - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Dos and Donts The Office Holiday Party - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career With office holiday parties just around the corner, workers are wrestling with that age-old question: do you let loose at the holiday party, or do you treat it as an extension of a day in the office? Your workplace environment and position within the company will dictate some of that, but one thing is for sure, the holiday office party isn’t a place to gorge at the buffet, get sloppy drunk or hook up with a colleague. “It’s got to be about moderation,” says Dan Andrews, the Human Resources Manager for Allison+Partners, an international communications firm. “People want to cut loose because it’s a festive time but you are at a work function, so you always have to keep that in mind.” The Do’s: If you like your job and plan to work there for a while, then it’s a good idea to attend the office party even if it’s only for an hour or so. If you are sick or going on vacation it’s one thing, but if you are blowing it off for no good reason, it’s a big no-no.   “Not showing up, unless you have a legitimate excuse, makes you look like you don’t care,” says Vinda Rao, the marketing manager at Bullhorn, a recruitment software company. According to Patricia Rossi, a business etiquette coach, arrive early and ask whoever put the party together if he or she needs any help. “The person that put it together knows everybody, and no one else is making that kind of gesture. It echoes in the office, up and down the ladder,” says Rossi. Once the party is over, send that same person a thank you note. You may be tempted to send an email, but don’t. Mailing a hand written thank you note will show you made the effort and genuinely mean it. Since the holiday office party is a rare opportunity to network and make connections with people in you organization you normally don’t have access to, make sure to capitalize on the opportunity. Career experts say you should go armed to the party with good conversation starters, and an idea of who you want to connect with at the party. Doing a little research on the person or people you have your sights on will ensure you’re not blowing your limited time with them discussing the weather or making a comment that could offend them. “It’s an opportunity to build your brand and build your worth inside the company,” says Rossi. The Don’ts: The holidays are a festive time, but that doesn’t mean you have to get rip-roaring drunk to have a good time. Career experts say that if you must drink at the office party, limit it to one drink. After all you don’t want to be the one everyone is gossiping about the next day because you got too drunk or worse yet got behind the wheel smashed. “If you have to have a drink have only one because you don’t want to make a mistake,” says Rossi. “Loose lips sink ships.” How you dress also matters. It’s understandable to want to dress up for the holiday party or let your style shine through, but it’s not the time to put on the sequins tank top, tight skirt or ripped jeans. Andrews says to dress appropriately for where the party is being thrown. It’s ok to be business casual if the party is in a bar, but if it’s at a country club you’ll want to get dressed up. “Being a little conservative in your dress is probably a good thing,” says Andrews. While everyone has their guard down at the office holiday party, it’s not the time or place to over share or to tell off-color jokes that may offend someone. It’s also not the time to eat like it’s you’re final meal, hit on a co-worker or stay long enough to be the one creating a scandal. “The day after an office party you should be thinking: ‘Oh that was really great food, and I never realized Gail was a rock climber like me,’ and not, ‘I have a killer hangover, and all I can remember is throwing up on my supervisor’s shoes and having her call me a cab,’” says Rao.

If this sounds like you, consider using tools like Grammarly and the Hemingway app to make your professional communications polished, concise, and error-free.b) Verbal CommunicationYour ability to interview successfully, present your ideas publicly, and otherwise communicate verbally is extremely important. If you’ve stumbled your way through an interview or cringed at your awkwardness during a presentation, you already know this.If this area is a deficit for you, consider working on it. Joining a group like Toa stmasters could be a great way to start.4) Create a NicheMany people choose to cast as wide a net as possible when they try to further their careers. That’s not always the best choice. For one thing, it guarantees that you are always going to be competing with a large pool of other prospects.Sometimes, you can improve your career prospects by narrowing that focus. You can do this by finding a niche or a specialty. For example, you could focus on providing services to a specific market segment. You could also work to become an absolute master at a certain technology. Better yet, identify a need that isn’t being met and use your skills to meet that need.evaleval5) Set Your Sights HighYou’ll never achieve career growth if you only apply for the jobs that you are 100 percent qualified to do in every way. In fact, if you apply for jobs that you are overqualified to do, you could really be doing yourself a disservice. Instead, look for jobs where your skills are fit, but will also r equire you to learn new things in order to be successful.ConclusionIf you want your career to continue on an upward trajectory, try implementing a few of these tips. Chances are, you’ll find a job that is ideal for you in short order.

Is Your Business Fair To Its Customers

Is Your Business Fair To Its Customers The world has changed a lot over the last few decades. When it comes to the way that people expect to be treated by businesses, expectations have gone up by a huge margin. Laws have changed, new ones have been brought into place, and accountability has never been the same, making it practically impossible for a business to operate on an unethical basis for very long at all. Of course, though, it isn’t always easy to assess this side of your company. Being at the center of the chaos, the way you leave your clients feeling may not be on your radar, and this is something which needs to change. To help you put with this, this post will be exploring some of the key elements of your business which you can look at to understand where you stand. In Their Shoes: In reality, it’s very unlikely that you’ve ever been on the receiving end of the services which your business provides. Even if you were, your employees would know to treat you as well as possible, as they would want to make a good example of the company. To solve this issue, a lot of groups decide to use a mystery shopper for this sort of research. Having someone who can go into your venture, reporting back the way they are treated and made to feel, can offer a good insight into how your real customers might feel. This is very important, as these are the people who will be most vocal about issues your company has caused. Some Real-World Feedback: Over the last few years, loads of companies have started offering the chance for their customers to give feedback about the time they’ve had with them. Enabling them to do this anonymously is a good idea, as this will help to get the truth out of people, and can be done with a simple comments box. Of course, you will need to ask people to do this for you, and may even have to give them something in return, but this will be worth it for the information you gain. A Professional Assessment: Finally, as the last option available to you, it’s time to think about getting a professional to have a look at your business. A medical practice assessment, for example, will not only test your ethics, but also help you to answer other questions about your business’s operations. You will have the chance to have an expert give you advice, while also avoiding scrutiny from a party which could use the information they find to damage your reputation. If you haven’t done something like this before opening, it’s worth having it handled as soon as possible, as this can be a powerful tool if people ever make complaints. Hopefully, this post will inspire you to start working harder on the ethical side of your business. Being fair to your customers is very important, especially in a world where every business is under a spotlight. This doesn’t have to cause any trouble, as long as you’re happy to work on it.

How To Make Your Resume Pop

How To Make Your Resume Pop When applying for a job, you are not going to be the only applicant. You will be competing for the job with dozens of other qualified candidates. With so many candidates, it is not unreasonable to fear your resume getting passed over or lost in the mix of things. In order to avoid that from happening you need to create a resume that will stand out from the crowd. While you want your resume to pop, you do not want it to be unprofessional. Here are some concepts to create an impressive resume that will stand out. Eye Catching: You want your resume to catch your potential employers eye immediately so they spend time looking at your resume intently rather than just passing over it briefly. While it would be easy to do this using a wacky font, that is a bad idea. Using a wacky font looks unprofessional and can be hard to read. It might not look the same on their computer either. They might see an entirely different font. Instead, use a sans serif font. Another idea is to add a touch of color. Color in small doses can look great. This will catch their eye without looking unprofessional. Professional: You do not want to give your potential employers a bad impression by having a resume that looks unprofessional. This means you need to keep it easily readable and organized. No wacky fonts, bright colors, or pictures (or words) that are large, obscene or vulgar. A small clip art that has to do with the job may be appropriate, but for the most part you should not put any pictures on your resume at all. Impressive: Now that you have caught their eye and shown them a professional resume, you need to impress them with what you put on your resume. Keep them interested and invested in you by putting your greatest accomplishments, achievements, and job titles on your resume. This is what will make them want to call you in for an interview. It can be hard to get your resume noticed in a sea of resumes that all look very similar, but if you can find a way to make your resume stand out without compromising professionalism, then you will be one step ahead and closer to getting an interview and landing a job.
