Tracy, California Police Officers Forgo Raises to Save Jobs

Thanks to police officers in Tracy, Califonia six of their fellow officers retain their jobs.  Six jobs saved! Reported on Mecurynews.com  Government can't save jobs, nor should it be expected to. However business and people themselves can.  Hats off to police department in Tracy! 

Time Off Without Pay? Would you Volunteer?

Would you volunteer for an unpaid furlough to keep your colleagues from losing their jobs? This blog entry from "The Responsibility Project" is an oldie but goodie with plenty of comments!


The take away is that layoffs and dismissals should be the very last resort. They are devastating! This is only one way to avoid them. We need to look for better ways. My thought for today, when you find one, share it quickly with your employer, particularly is things are slow. Be part of the solution, We can stop job loss! Yes we can!
