A few weeks ago I went to meet a really nice woman - it was an informational interview for a job where I'd roll up my sleeves and be in the trenches of the business. This is a large high-tech manufacturer in the suburbs, unfortunately. In the good ole days of skyrocketing growth (2000), this company had 300 people on staff. When the high tech boom went bust, 300 dwindled down to 50 and with our economy in a recession, the staff level is at 8.

I think this is the first time I heard of an airline sale at least here in the Philippines with airfares which include fuel surcharge, insurance, other government fees and the mandatory 12% VAT. I'm glad that this will be a permanent feature of Cebu Pacific as it shifts to an "all-in" pricing format so passengers will immediately know the total amount they need to pay. The 'all-in' pricing format is introduced with a seat sale across CEB’s domestic network. The promotional offer will run from Car Rentals in Romania - Toyota

Last week, the New York Court of Appeals held that executives are “employees” within the meaning of the State’s Labor Law. Accordingly, employers must comply with the provisions of New York Labor Law §193 with respect to the types of allowed deductions made from the wages of executive employees. The case is Pachter v. Bernard Hodes Group, and can be found here. In Pachter, the Plaintiff was employed as a corporate Vice President who had elected to be compensated on a commission basis. The compa
improving gas mileage, I can vouch for pretty much all of these. 1. Drive at a moderate speed. Keeping a lid on your speed is the #1 thing you can do to improve mileage. In their test car (a Toyota Camry), CR estimated that mileage dropped from 40 mpg to 35 mpg when they increased cruising speed from 55 mph to 65 mph. Speeding up to 75 mph dropped mileage another 5 mpg. While the extent of the drop will vary across makes and models, keeping an eye on the speedometer, especially when driving on £100 to fill up the tank? Just get used to the idea…
