Why You Should Never Miss a Company Holiday Party or Invitation to Your Boss’s Home
Harrison Barnes  |  Dated: 02-04-2012

A few years ago, I spoke with a man (now retired) who had worked in a large corporation for forty years and in his last twenty years, he basically did nothing. He was paid very well and was more or less forgotten—doing very little of anything. He would show up at the office at 9:00 a.m. each day, try to look busy—do a task now and then—and then get in his car at 5:30 p.m. each evening and drive home. When he finally retired from the company, he felt as if he had achieved a great victory. For the past twenty years, his friend (who had risen very high in the company) had protected the man and made sure he kept his job—despite the fact that the guy was doing next to nothing and was of very little use to the company whatsoever.

Female Attorneys Unite Across Nations

By Rebecca E. Neely

Female attorneys from St. Louis, Missouri and Iraq are working together to try to improve Iraq's oppressive legal system in regards to women - not only to get them into more powerful positions within the legal system, but to protect them.

The criticisms are many - Islamic laws that allegedly protect women are by no means adequate, and laws that are in place are generally not enforced. The culture itself serves in general to defeat women from the get go, as they are more often than not treated merely as property. It's a given that men are in charge and that domestic violence is a way of life.
