Gen Y at Work: Are we intolerant and demanding?

May 8, 2010 / Career Development, Opinion

Career blogs and business publications, like this article from the Wall Street Journal, all have a knack for painting a harsh picture of Generation Ys (people under 30). Here are some things they’ve been saying about us. We… want work life balance and a good pay can’t handle criticism – even constructive ones are flaky…

March 5, 2010 / Psychology

I’ve wanted to say this for years but I was afraid that everyone would think I’m a lunatic, but I’m going to say it anyway because my interest for Pet Society has recently been revived: Rooms in Pet Society reflect a person’s state of mind. Now I’m no psychoanalyst so I don’t have the knowledge…

I have a perpetual struggle against the word FREE. I always caution against FREE because I know it always entails some sort of cost or condition.
