Have you recently had your salary cut-back? Perhaps by 100%? Do you need to vent? Do you just want to talk about it? If so, here’s the place to do it. FYI, my salary was recently cut back, but thankfully wifey and I had some wiggle room in our budget to keep things moving.

Not having a BlackBerry now-a-days is tantamount to admitting you live in a cave and you carve out messages on stone tablets. But do you really need a BlackBerry (or other smart phone) to make it in today’s business world? Believe it or not, I had to negotiate carrying a company BlackBerry out of my current employment agreement.

You see, when I’m at work, I check my email on my desktop computer, talk to colleagues, go to meetings, and keep busy doing other work stuff – BlackBerry not required. But when I am in transit to or from work, I’d rather be sleeping, reading, or vegging out. At home, I’d rather spend time with wifey and the kids than be thinking about work, much less reading or writing emails to colleagues. It’s really that simple.
