Regarding the de-legitimization of black hair in the workplace-sadly that is a stigma that is reinforced within the AA community. I've worked in several states in the union, from the Pacific Northwest to a very rural town in upstate NY now. All while having natural hair. The only individuals who ever questioned Read More...]]> http://geofile.info/analysis-on-an-interracial-fix-for-black-marriage/feed/ 0 http://geofile.info/an-opinion-on-mcdonalds-says-it-may-drop-health-plan/ http://geofile.info/an-opinion-on-mcdonalds-says-it-may-drop-health-plan/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:32:15 +0000 admin http://geofile.info/an-opinion-on-mcdonalds-says-it-may-drop-health-plan/ The WSJ Reports: Last week, a senior McDonald's official informed the Department of Health and Human Services that the restaurant chain's insurer won't meet a 2011 requirement to spend at least 80% to 85% of its premium revenue on medical care. McDonald's and trade groups say the percentage, called a medical loss ratio, is unrealistic for mini-med plans because of high administrative costs owing to frequent worker turnover Read More...]]> http://geofile.info/an-opinion-on-mcdonalds-says-it-may-drop-health-plan/feed/ 0 http://geofile.info/analysis-on-dispute-over-timing-of-obama-speech-shows-rancor/ http://geofile.info/analysis-on-dispute-over-timing-of-obama-speech-shows-rancor/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 20:31:44 +0000 admin http://geofile.info/analysis-on-dispute-over-timing-of-obama-speech-shows-rancor/ Nope. While it's more difficult for the US Congress to pass laws without the cooperation of the US President, it is both possible and has been done. One example of this is the War Powers Resolution of 1973 that was passed despite a presidential veto, and, coincidentally enough, this is the very War Powers Resolution of 1973 that Obama flouted when he trampled all over Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution when he Read More...]]> http://geofile.info/analysis-on-dispute-over-timing-of-obama-speech-shows-rancor/feed/ 0 http://geofile.info/commentary-on-university-of-wisconsin-madison-and-unions/ http://geofile.info/commentary-on-university-of-wisconsin-madison-and-unions/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:46:36 +0000 admin http://geofile.info/commentary-on-university-of-wisconsin-madison-and-unions/ I was a T.A. at UW Madwhen will i get my tax refundson and a member of the union. When I transferred to a different position within the university that was not covered by the union, the TA union continued to deduct dues from my paycheck. I noticed the deduction and called them to demand a stop to the thievery and a refund. They claimed that they continue such payroll deductions after employees change jobs because many Read More...]]> http://geofile.info/commentary-on-university-of-wisconsin-madison-and-unions/feed/ 0 http://geofile.info/my-view-on-book-review-its-always-personal/ http://geofile.info/my-view-on-book-review-its-always-personal/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:32:39 +0000 admin http://geofile.info/my-view-on-book-review-its-always-personal/ Excessive emotions are a foul in the work place. Please hear me...emotions are OK but excessive emotions are a foul. When you lose control of your emotions (yelling, unprofessional language, crying, fighting, etc...), you are in effect, attempting to manipulate your co-workers with your emotions. It is no different than trying to manipulate with sexuality. It is inappropriate workplace behavior. Disagreements, anger, happiness, Read More...]]> http://geofile.info/my-view-on-book-review-its-always-personal/feed/ 0 http://geofile.info/analysis-on-donkey-turkeys/ http://geofile.info/analysis-on-donkey-turkeys/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:30:52 +0000 admin http://geofile.info/analysis-on-donkey-turkeys/ Maybe Governor Rendell is saying that the 2008 election was the voters acting irrationally. While the 2010 election was just the voters, after 2 years of calm reflection and 4 years of Democratic control of Congress, acting in a more calm manor and not in the heat of the 2008 panic that required McCain how to calm nerves rush back to Washington to save the day and Paulson to propose sweeping powers for himself to save the Read More...]]> http://geofile.info/analysis-on-donkey-turkeys/feed/ 0 http://geofile.info/an-opinion-on-asian-diplomats-point-to-progress-on-sea-dispute/ http://geofile.info/an-opinion-on-asian-diplomats-point-to-progress-on-sea-dispute/#comments Thu, 15 Mar 2012 19:29:56 +0000 admin http://geofile.info/an-opinion-on-asian-diplomats-point-to-progress-on-sea-dispute/ I don't mean to imply that I - overall - agree with Mr. Ocean's posting; however, Mr. Lee, your response is partisan to the extreme. Obviously Mr. Ocean was not providing an exhaustive list. In addition, the allegiances and involvement of the US on the world stage cannot be compared to that of PRC. In this light, interpersonal conflict for the US can be said to be the cost of leadership. In comparison, the conflict in the Read More...]]> http://geofile.info/an-opinion-on-asian-diplomats-point-to-progress-on-sea-dispute/feed/ 0 http://geofile.info/commentary-on-rose-mcdermott-polygamymore-common-than-you-think/ http://geofile.info/commentary-on-rose-mcdermott-polygamymore-common-than-you-think/#comments Wed, 14 Mar 2012 18:56:14 +0000 admin http://geofile.info/commentary-on-rose-mcdermott-polygamymore-common-than-you-think/ HALF or more of married men have girlfriends? Are you sure you aren't speaking about upper-middle class men in Mexico? I''ve known a whole lot of American men who were or are married, and not a single one has had a wife and girlfriend (aside from situations where one woman is both) at the same time. But with one caveat: advance knowledge, and even consent, on the part of one wife. I've only known a few men in Mexico, and Read More...]]> http://geofile.info/commentary-on-rose-mcdermott-polygamymore-common-than-you-think/feed/ 0 http://geofile.info/my-take-on-when-mentoring-goes-bad/ http://geofile.info/my-take-on-when-mentoring-goes-bad/#comments Wed, 14 Mar 2012 18:56:03 +0000 admin http://geofile.info/my-take-on-when-mentoring-goes-bad/ Not everyone is a good mentor and anyone wanting to use one needs to know what a mentor is. I have trained and worked with many mentors and there are key criteria's that they must abide by. They are not parents, they should not tell the person what to do or be watching over their shoulder. I much prefer to align new managers (or any leader) with an executive certified life coach outside of the organization because it Read More...]]> http://geofile.info/my-take-on-when-mentoring-goes-bad/feed/ 0 http://geofile.info/my-analysis-on-where-have-the-good-men-gone/ http://geofile.info/my-analysis-on-where-have-the-good-men-gone/#comments Wed, 14 Mar 2012 18:55:38 +0000 admin http://geofile.info/my-analysis-on-where-have-the-good-men-gone/ Absolutely. One of the hard lessons of life is that well behaved women rarely make history looking for boyfriends and husbands don't want equality, they want advantage. That said, women have been ambitious throughout history, but also throughout history much better at gender public relations. This is possible because in America, women keep their corruption to themselves. They go silent, disappear from public record, and Read More...]]> http://geofile.info/my-analysis-on-where-have-the-good-men-gone/feed/ 0
