Carre d'Agneau avec de l'Asperge Grillee a la Gregoire

Staffing Talk

My wif'e's down in Peru doing cleft palate surgeries with a bunch of other docs which leaves me cooking for the first time in about 12 years. Normally, as in before I was married normally, or rather before I had seven kids normally, I would have just high-tailed it down to La Belle Vie, the Twin Cities finest chef-owned French restaurant. But no, I've only got an hour to cook and eat before carting the 12-year-old off to a basketball game.

The Japanese government has 'temporarily' closed down a staffing company and sent its stock tumbling. Despite having done business in Japan for 17 years, I don't understand it much. The notion of temporarily closing down a business for several months seems odd. Once closed down, how does it ever start up again? Apparently, investors don't have a good answer for that either.

Tom Cruise, Lap Dances, and the Difference Between Sales and Operations

Staffing Talk

Staffing company owner, are you expensing Lap Dances? I'm not trying to be moralistic here although I could, it's just a question: how long do you expect hard working operations people who actually make things happen put up with a double standard? I remember my Dad going through this epiphany when after launching Manpower's Technical Services in the 1960s he realized that his relentless effort to generate profit by reducing expense was squandered by entitlement-seeking sales staff.

A robust job market has done nothing to stem the crash as the Office for National Statistics reports the fastest increase in employment in 11 years according to the Financial Times.

Muckraking blogger Dennis Howlett, [link] , details the situation.
