AtricleZine - The Instability of the Current Workforce
A tremendous amount of time, money, and energy is invested in corporate America teaching customer service reps and other associates how to avoid, reduce, and remedy conflicts with customers.Examine the classes offered by giants in the training industry, and you’ll always seem to find something pertaining to “Dealing With Conflict & Difficult Customers.”It’s an appealing title, to be sure, and robust registrations will support such offerings.But it’s all based on a faulty premise: That the major impediment that needs to be addressed, remedied, overcome, is dealing with angry people.What if customers aren’t angry?Wouldn’t this make most of these efforts misguided, if not utterly wa
White collar workers are feeling the pinch too. The stereotypical laid-off steel worker has a lot of company these days. In 2002, the technology sector dumped 150,000 jobs in the software sector. And computer chip maker Intel just announced in September 2006 that it will be cutting over 10,000 jobs in the next few months.
These technology jobs have been touted by politicians as the future for the American worker, but it is not a secure future. Those secure jobs from a bygone era when you could count on a company being around and taking care of you just are not reality anymore. This means that you have to start looking out for number one because no one else will. Your first step toward security is getting information about starting your own home based business.
America might be hard on workers, but it loves business!
Many companies screen the employees before recruiting them. This helps them weed out undesirable candidates at the outset. It also protects them from litigation, regulators and the risk of high turnover. Besides verifying the details on your resume, employers most commonly screen for criminal behavior, drug abuse, regulatory violations, and appearances on a terrorist watch list. They also keep a check on employees’ tax liens, bankruptcy filings, ongoing divorce or custody proceedings, driving violations or bounced checks. Employers are also concerned that someone with monetary problems, health issues or family concerns may not be fully focused on the job. During the screening process, companies gauge a candidate’
Your seniority at a job won't protect you from job cuts.
Seniority can actually hurt you because older workers tend to be paid more and companies have many creative ways of removing older workers from their ranks. The "golden handshake" is the nicest way of losing a job, but sometimes a company will just close an office or plant that has an older workforce and that's the end of it.
You may not enjoy thinking about these uncertainties, but deep down you know that you need a plan for maintaining your income in the future instead just relying on companies to employ you. Expecting to find a well-paying job that will be there for you until retirement is just not a realistic idea anymore.
Manufacturing jobs that used to be the pillar of well-paid secure employment are disappearing. The headlines always tell the same story. For example, Ford Motor Company, whose founder Henry Ford made sure his workers earned enough to actually buy one of his cars, has started massive job cuts.
In the coming years, Ford will shut down 14 factories in North America and it has already started laying off workers. It plans to shed 25,000 to 30,000 jobs before it's done. These shocking job cuts include white collar workers as well.
Overall, in the years from 2000 to 2003, the United States lost almost 3 million manufacturing jobs according to the Economic Policy Institute. There is no sign that this trend is going to change.
You can also be leery of getting one of those "good union jobs."
Tied in with the crumbling of manufacturing is the decline of union membership. Compared to 1945 when nearly one third of Americans were union members, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that only 12.5% of wage and salary workers were in unions in 2005. Unions that used to command high wages and protect jobs are fast becoming a thing of the past.
Then there is "offshore outsourcing" in which your job can be transferred to someone in India or Mexico who will make 15% of what you earn. Outsourcing doesn't just happen to factory workers whose plant is moved overseas. It happens to software developers and it happens to administrative support jobs and to medical service jobs.
Why does this happen? The greatest factor motivating employers to scale back on secure employment is cost. Companies want to make money, and well-paid full time employees in America aren't cheap. That is why companies look for ways to switch to lower cost employees in other countries or use non-union, lower paid, or part time workers here. And, because major employers tend to be very large multi-national companies, it is easy for them to play musical chairs with jobs among different countries.
This logically leaves you asking: "What can I do to be financially secure?"
As the above statistics show, looking to the job market is not going to get you what it used to in the past. You'll need to take charge of your future and start making your own secure income. When you are the boss, there is no one to lay you off or cut your hours. Fortunately, there is an exciting home business opportunity that offers you a way to create your own safety net.
Security and financial success can finally be in your hands - not someone else's.
Yes, it is tempting to keep putting all of your eggs into one basket and believing that your good job will last - or believing that you will find a good job for years to come. You hear about job growth and new jobs, but they are not the same jobs that are being lost. The new jobs are lumped into the category "service industry" - that means working in sectors like retail or customer service. These service industry jobs are notoriously unreliable in the amount of hours given and they pay less than the old manufacturing jobs.

America might be hard on workers, but it loves business!
When starting a business, you have to take a lot of consideration on which items you would want to invest first in order to create a spot in the industry. Anyone who is just starting on a business usually is on a tight budget and stick to their own priorities.If your business is concentrated in providing services, you should invest on the products you need for the business as well as on the things that would help you make your own identity like a letterhead.Getting Ahead Letterheads should be eye-catching but should also embody the values of the company it represents. Letterheads usually create the company’s first impression. This happens when you are sending an invitation or a promotion to a potent find a well-paying job that will be there for you until retirement is just not a realistic idea anymore.

Heather and Mark work at a leading attorneys’ office in Seattle. They order fresh ground coffee for the office every month, and sent me this comparison between two major coffee vendors.Coffee company ‘Torrefazione’ (I name the winners)• We received a call from a customer service representative about a coffee order placed at their website earlier in the week.• We were informed that shipments are sent by UPS, but their coffee warehouse is only a few blocks from our office. So they offered to send future orders via courier the next day without a shipping charge.• They also noted we order coffee monthly and provided information on how we could qualify for a frequent customer discount.
