Theres a reason your purchases are getting expensive and mediocre

Theres a reason your purchases are getting expensive and mediocreTheres a reason your purchases are getting expensive and mediocreThe United States has long relied on capitalism to fuel its economy, and capitalism, in turn, depends on competition for a healthy market. But as the U.S. government has turned a blind eye to monopolistic tendencies the last few decades and companies have increasingly acquired large market shares for their products, Americas capitalistic ideals have gone by the wayside to benefit large corporations, their shareholders and few others, according to New York Times columnistDavid Leonhardt.In an environment where union-busting seems mora popular than monopoly-busting, the think tank Open Markets Institute has published a report on some of the industries where a few companies control an entire product or service. From domestic airlines to coffin and casket manufacturing to smartphone operating systems, the findings are dramatic.Because a select few corporate parents dictate the economy in this country, they can drive up prices, pull down wages and perpetuate other practices that make the lives of average Americans more stressful.Due to extreme concentrations of wealth and political power, our country is experiencing severe economic inequality, stagnant household income, the collapse of business formation and innovation, and historic levels of political polarization, the Open Markets report reads.Heres a look at some of the industries that have been taken over by corporate giants.Domestic airlinesFour firms control 73% of this $140.6 billion industry American, Delta, United Continental, and Southwest. Perhaps thats why planes keep getting more crowded and uncomfortable and one-time givens such as carry-ons have now become add-ons to the price of a ticket.Social networkingAs the parent company to youth favorites such as Instagram and WhatsApp, Facebook controls an astounding 72% of the market for social networking sites. LinkedIn controls another 11% and Twitter 6% of a $25.6 billion industry.Baby formula and diapersThe largest four firms that sell baby formula control 89% of the market, and the largest two firms for diaper manufacturing control 64% of the market.Cell phone providers and smartphone operating systemsThe four largest cell phone providers - ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint - control 98% of the industrys market, with ATT and Verizon far outpacing their competitors. Meanwhile, there are only two major firms in smartphone operating systems Google and Apple together control 99 percent of the industry.Pharmacies and drug storesWe now romanticize a time when kids would pop over to their local pharmacy for a root beer float. That culture barely exists anymore Major chains Walgreens and CVS control 61% of the market for a $270.6 billion industry.Washer and dryer manufacturingThree firms control 100% of the industrys market.CandyTwo recognizable names - Hershey and Mars - control 60% of the candy market.C offin and casket manufacturingEven death can be monopolized, and two firms control 76% of the coffin and casket manufacturing market.From necessities to lifestyle splurges, our economy is monopolized by a handful of major corporations that set the prices we pay and the salaries we earn. But not all is lost Were the ones with buying power, and we can elect politicians who believe in stricter regulations for corporations. The choice is in our hands we just have to learn to wield our power.

The research shows that, if youre focusing mora on growing the nuggets of whats good, you have a better chance of having ahappy relationship. In other words, know yur strengths and spend time maintaining them. Here, then, are five tips that Suzann and James say will lead to better days for you and your spouse.1. Cultivate a healthy passionThat idea of starry-eyed lovers who are forever on each others minds and obsess over each other daily? Total B.S. In fact, per Pileggi this thinking is detrimental, as it can give rise to the idea that obsessive passion is a healthy thing.In the beginning of arelationship, you cant stop thinking about your partner, you might be distracted at work, you might cancel plans with friends to see your girlfriend or future spouse, she explains. But if that continues months or years into the relationship and youre leid seeing yourfriends anymore, youre not engaging in activities that you did before the relationship, and you cant focus on anything else, that could be more of an obsessive passion.In bestellung to create a healthy passion, Pileggi says to be sure to make room in your mind for your other interests and other people. Then, when you are with your partner, find ways to connect over things that you both enjoy. Its about forging a deeper bond, not trying to be competitive, Pileggi says. So dont choose something that you really like and enjoy and your wife has no interest in. The idea is to connect, not to compete.2. Embrace the upsideAt thebeginning of a relationship, positive emotions are flowing with regularity. Excitement, joy, passion are all right at your fingertips. But, as the relationship progresses and you both get more comfortable with each other, some people expect that those positive emotions will just happen without any effort. Not so.The research shows that thehappiest coupleswith the most sustainablemarriagesare the ones who actively cultivate them all the time and prioritize them as opposed to waiting around for them to happen, she says. Because, like with anything, the newness of something, those heightened positive emotions, the level and the frequency just naturally dont occur as much as in the beginning of a relationship, the falling-in-love stage.So, couples inlong-term relationshipswho are looking to cultivate positive emotions have to ask themselves what can they do each day, what activities or actions can they do in order to keep positive emotions flowing in a marriage.Imagine if you just bought a gym membership and went once and then said, Okay, now Im going to be fit, Pileggi says. No, you work out regularly and throughout your lifetime.One activity that Pileggi and her husband discuss inHappy Togetheris a Positive Relationship Portfolio, And yes, it is actually a portfolio of pictures, mementos, and other such items that mean something in your relationship. If thats your style or not, we get it. The point of the exercise is to devote time to thinking about the fond me mories, which, per Pileggi, is extremely important. However you do it is up to you.3. Savor experiencesPositive emotions and moments are fleeting. Pileggi says that its important to slow down and take time to enjoy them. Research shows that if you spend at least 15 minutes savoring something you could increase your satisfaction, she says. One way to do that is sharing secrets with one another. Ask your spouse about a favorite childhood experience, or a secret they never told anyone or big idea or dream they always had for the future. The point is this The more you open up and talk about these sorts of things, the deeper a bond youre able to create.4. Locate and focus on character strengthsWhat are your partners strengths? Do you know? Positive Psychology researchers have identified 24 character traits that people possess in different measures. Things like creativity, curiosity, zest, love of learning, leadership. Pileggi recommends taking a Character Strengths test with your partner (one is availablehere).Then, once youve determined what your strengths are, you can have conversations with each other about them. From there, Pileggi says, you both can go on what she and her husband call a strength date. Sounds weird right? But the idea is sound each of you to pick a top strength and go on a date that plays to - and satisfies - both of them.5. Emphasize gratitudeIf your partner feels taken advantage of and not acknowledged, theyre not going to be satisfied, she says. And just saying thanks isnt enough.An example If your spouse gives you a gift or does something kind for you, dont just thank them, but also say something like, You really know what I need and youre such a good listener. or Youre so thoughtful, and I can see how thoughtful you are with our children and the way you are at work.Its about being deliberate and specific in how youexpress appreciation for your partner.Express your thanks and express it well, says Pileggi.

The Definition and Tracking of Workplace Attendance

The Definition and Tracking of Workplace AttendanceThe Definition and Tracking of Workplace AttendanceTracking your employees attendance is important to your companys bottom line. Attendance is defined, quite simply, as showing up for work, but how can you track every employees attendance? While it may seem like a daunting task, its quite simple if you implement a well-defined policy and a tracking system. In regards to hourly or nonexempt employees, an attendance system clearly defines when employees are supposed to show up for work. This is especially important for nonexempt employees who frequently perform jobs that require abedrngnisher person to be present to serve customers. It is also important for employees who are a part of an automated process that requires a worker to be present at each workstation in order to produce a particular product or a service. In general, attendance policies exist because of these kinds of workers. They do notlage exist for the sake of exempt empl oyees. Attendance is also used to define the number of persons present on a particular day and most frequently refers to employees who are paid hourly. Present at Work and the HR Department Attendance is also referred to as present at work or presenteeism. For example, an HR department may make notes in an employees personnel file or in a companys assessment of its workplace challenges or goals. Examples of presenteeism notes kept by HR include Rob had a wonderful work attendance record he rarely missed a day of work.Mary has a challenge with attendance and arrives late to work at least two days a week.The attendance on first shift averaged only 75 percent on Mondays because employees were recovering from their weekend fun.Obtaining qualified employees who want to work a second shift with good attendance is challenging. Employees prefer to work days as opposed to working nights or, they prefer to work the midnight shift so that they have their days free. Second shifts cut into e mployees free time in both days and nights. What is an Attendance Policy? Simply put, an attendance policy provides the guidelines and expectations for employee attendance at work as defined, written, disseminated, and implemented by an organization. Attendance policies exist most frequently for hourly or nonexempt employees for whom an organization must generally track hours and pay for overtime exceeding 40 hours a week. Time-at-work record keeping is required by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)which governs the payment of overtime. Additionally, employees for whom attendance is tracked often perform jobs that depend on other employees being in attendance. Such jobs include production line work in a manufacturing facility. An attendance policy is sometimes used interchangeably with an absenteeism policy. However, an attendance policy is much more narrowly defined and limited to attendance, as opposed to absenteeism policies which address absenteeism management issues. A Sample No-Fault Attendance System A No-Fault Point System is one example of an effective attendance policy. The goal of this system is to reward good attendance and eliminate the employment of people with poor attendance records. Because it uses a point systemand does not excuse absencesit leaves managers and supervisors out of the role of judge and jury. It is an objective system that places accountability and responsibility for attendance on the shoulder of the employee which is where it ought to be. In a no-fault attendance system, absences may be recorded using this system Each absence 1 point (no multi-day occurrences)Each late-in (tardy) or early-out 1/2 pointEach no-show for work 2 pointsEach return with no prior call 1 pointEach absence-free quarter eliminates all points and rewards the employee with a day off with pay.Each employee starts fresh, with no points, each year. Progressive disciplinary action accompanies a no-fault attendance system.If an employee earns a c ertain amount of points, they receive a warning that progressively worsens. A system such as this allows both the employer and employee to know exactly what the consequences will be for poor attendance. 7 points verbal warning8 points written warning9 points 3 day suspension10 points termination Its important to get your employees on-track with adetailed attendance policythat includes rewards and penalties for hourly employee attendance.

The Best Time to Take Your Graduation Year Off Your Resume

The Best Time to Take Your Graduation Year Off Your ResumeThe Best Time to Take Your Graduation Year Off Your ResumeAge Discrimination is a real thing. Unfortunately, when you apply for jobs erreichbar the forms you fill out will make Graduation Year a required field in order to submit your resume.Now, this is a bit of a tricky situation. For one thing, companies are notlage allowed to ask you your age (but they can ask if you are over 18). You know your graduation year may give a company a ballpark estimate of your real age. Typically, most get their bachelors degree between ages 21 to 23. At first, it is great to have on your resume to indicate that you are a fresh job seeker on the market. But when should you take it off?As your career progresses, that graduation year combined with more than a decades worth of experience can lead to companies discriminating against you due to your age. In this post, we can explain one method to handle this and also the best time to take your gradu ation year off your resume.Methods of handling online forms with required fieldsThe simplest and most direct way to answer thisLie about your graduation year.If you are job seeking in your 40s, you had most likely graduated in the early 1990s. But you are protected against Age Discrimination in the United States. However, this is very difficult to prove. So, on your required graduation year, claim to have graduated 10 years later. Do the math and try to make it seem like you are really in your mid-30s.After this, go through your social media accounts and make sure your birthday and graduation year does not appear. Companies are allowed to ask if you are older than 18, but they are never allowed to bluntly ask, How old are you?.The other thing you can do is skip the job application for requiring your graduation year. Any company that is deliberately trying to get around a law protecting you from Age Discrimination should give you cause for concern.The best time to take the graduation year off your resumeYou can imagine, given the fact this topic is taboo and can lead to legal problems in companies, there is no official rule that says you have to include the graduation year on your resume. More so, there is no rule as to when it should be taken off.However, when applying for jobs, the recommended amount of time for keeping the graduation year is about 10 to 15 years. Just like your work history, anything you learned 10 to 15 years ago will no longer be relevant to future jobs. You have grown so much since graduation and what you learned in school was just your starting point. You are now capable of so much more.If you are not sure you like having the date on your resume, no matter when you graduated, it is best to remove it completely.Why remove it completely from your resumeAge Discrimination is not just a privilege of those seeking work after age 40. It happens to newcomers, too, and that can be discouraging. Some who are new to their industry come out of coll eges and universities with fascinating experience in traveling, internships, and advanced degrees.They are thentreated as, too young when the resume is already abundant, can be as equally painful for the experienced 40+ job candidate who is treated as too old.The very appearance of a graduation year on a resume can, by itself, lead to a discriminatory way of thinking that counts against the job candidate at some point.Do yourself and your resume a favorThere is no way to get around the discriminating thoughts of a person hiring. The best thing to do is keep the graduation year off the resume.By the time you get to an interview, and they meet you in person, they will start to put the pieces together as to whether or not you will be a great fit. At least by that point, you are meeting people face to face.If they discriminate based on age after meeting you, but they thought you were qualified enough to interview, that is a company you were never meant to work with.

10 harmless mind tricks that make people like you

10 harmless mind tricks that make people like you10 harmless mind tricks that make people like youWhen youre working hard and doing all you can to achieve your goals, anything that can give you an edge is powerful and will streamline your path to success.Mind tricks wont make you a Jedi, but using the brains natural quirks to your advantage can have a positive impact on everyone you encounter.As soon as you become aware of these 10 tricks, they start popping up wherever you look. With minimal effort on your part, their unconscious influence on behavior can make a huge difference in your day-to-day life.1. When a group of people laughs, each member of the group cant help but make eye contact with the person they feel closest to.This trick can make you an astute observer of relationships of all types. It can tell you which members of your team are bonding and learning to trust one another, just as easily as it can tell you if you might have a shot at landing a date with a certain someo ne. Of course, youll learn a lot about how you feel about other people just by paying attention to whom you make eye contact with.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more2. When someone does a favor for you, it actually makes them like you more.When you convince someone to do you a favor, they unconsciously justify why they are willing to do so. Typical justifications include things such as hes my friend, I like him, and he seems like the kind of person who would return the favor. behauptung justifications serve you perfectly. Not only did you just get help with something, but the other party also likes you more than they did before.3. Silence gets answers.When you ask someone a question and theyre slow to respond, dont feel pressure to move the conversation forward. Remaining silent plays to your advantage. Moments of silence make people feel as though they should speak, especially wh en the ball is in their court. This is a great tool to use in negotiations and other difficult conversations. Just make certain you resist the urge to move the conversation forward until you get your answer.4. Open hands and palms create trust.Theres an employee policy at LEGOLAND that says whenever someone asks where something is, the employee presents (open-palm gesture) their directions instead of pointing them. This is because the open-palmed gesture conveys trust, making people more likely to agree with what youre saying and to find you friendly and likeable. Pointing, on the flip side, is generally seen as aggressive and rude.5. Nodding your head during a conversation or when asking a question makes the other person more likely to agree with what youre saying.The next time you need to win someone over to your way of thinking, try nodding your head as you speak. People unconsciously mirror the body language of those around them in order to better understand what other people ar e feeling. When you nod your head as you speak, you convey that what youre saying is true and desirable, and people are more inclined to agree with you.6. People remember unfinished things better.The natural tendency to remember unfinished things is called the Zeigarnik effect. Ever notice how some television commercials get cut off early? The company paying for the commercial cuts it off so that it sticks in your head longer than other commercials. The best way to forget unfinished things (commercials or songs) is to finish them in your head. If a song gets stuck in your head, try singing the last lines to yourself. Youll be amazed how quickly it goes away.7. Chew gum to relax and focus.Chewing gum actually lowers your cortisol levels, the hormone responsible for stress. But chewing gum doesnt just reduce stress, it also makes you more alert and improves your performance in memory-oriented tasks. It does so by increasing the blood flow to your brain and alerting your senses. When y ou experience a stressful situation while chewing gum, your body is less likely to go into the primal fight-or-flight mode (which results in poor decisions and inability to focus). You probably dont want to use this one while youre talking, but its a great way to destress in preparation for a big presentation or challenging conversation.8. Peoples feet reveal their interest.When talking to someone, pay attention to their feet. If their feet are aimed at you, theyre interested and listening to what youre saying, but if their feet point away from you, theyre fruchtwein likely disinterested and mentally checked out.9. When you meet someone new, work their name into the conversation in order to remember it.The goal here is to repeat their name three times in the first five minutes. It works extremely well, but the trick is to do it naturally. When you rattle off their name unnecessarily, it sounds foolish and awkward. Try to use phrases like Hello ____, Nice to meet you _____, and Where are you from _____.10. Showing excitement makes other people like youThis one goes back to the idea that we mirror the behavior of those around us. If you show excitement when you see someone, they naturally mirror that excitement back at you. Its an easy way to make a strong first impression and to get people to like you.Bringing it all togetherGive these tricks a try, and youre bound to notice a difference in how people respond to you.This article first appeared on LinkedIn.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people10 harmless mind tricks that make people like youWhen youre working hard and doing all you can to achieve your goals, anything that can give you an edge is powerful and w ill streamline your path to success.

Can you be Your own Life Coach 8 Questions to Assess Your Goals

Can you be Your own Life Coach 8 Questions to Assess Your Goals I was talking to a management consultant recently, and the conversation dipped into the coaching arena. You see, this consultant has more than 25 years of experience consulting geschftliches miteinanderes, government entities and schools. Yet, he also acts as a coach with many of the trainings he conducts through his consulting business. When reviewing his bio, I wondered why he never thought to include life coach in his credentials. His responseHow does one technically become a coach?This question made me think. Although hes done many personal and professional trainings (in a range of areas), this businessman hasnt been certified by the International Coach Federation or the Association for Coaching, to name a couple.Yet, with his education and immense experience in training, coaching, consulting and professional development, I would deem him fit to boast the title of coach or life coach.The convo led me to dig a little deeper into this subject. I dont know about you, but nowadays it seems like every time I turn around someone claims to be a life coach.When I see someone on TV or pick up a new book and research the author, 7 times out of 10 (as of late) the persons bio includes the title life coach.According to my good friend Wikipedia, the first use of the term coaching to mean an instructor or trainer arose around 1830 in Oxford University slang for a tutor who carries a student through an exam.Coaching thus has been used in language to describe the process used to transport people from where they are, to where they want to be.And this process of transporting people from their current to their desired status has blossomed into a billion dollar industry. In his article, Top 10 professional life coaching myths, Robert Pagliarini notes that the Harvard Business Review reported that coaching is a $1 billion a year industry. And IBISWorlds latest Business Coaching market research report notes a $9 billion revenue for the industry in 2014.Although business is booming, many people have been and continue to be skeptical about hiring a life coachand one of the reasons is, as stated above, because it seems like just about anyone can call him or herself a coach.In the same coaching myths article, Pagliarini supports this notion when explaining Myth 1 Life coaches are professionals who can help you achieve your goals. He writes, One of the problems in the coaching industry is that anyone can call themselves a professional coach, life coach, personal coach, etc. Jennifer Corbin, the president of Coach U, one of the largest and oldest coach training organizations in the world, has saidTechnically, anyone can hang up a shingle as coaching is not regulated. Many people coaching have no idea what coaching is as they havent been trained or havent been coached by a professionally trained and credentialed c oach. There are schools that will offer a credential after three hours of training and people read a book or watch a TV program and decide Im a coach As a result, the quality of coaches vary dramatically.Another problem is that life coaches can be expensive. Harvard Business Review explains that the median hourly tarif for a life coach (in 2009) was $500/hr.I would love to receive career advice and have help getting from my current location to my desired personal and professional goals, but at that rate (which Im sure has increased over the years) hiring a life coach to achieve this isnt likely.So, for those of us who cannot afford the services of these coaches and because, today, many with a little experience slap themselves with a life coach label anyway, I thought we could try our hand at being our own lifes coach.And to help us do so, below are eight questions to help assess your personal and professional life and goals. Think about each one carefully to make an honest assessmen t of your current status.Note These questions are simply to get you thinking and wont actually provide you with a step-by-step approach to reach your goals. Once you answer the questions, hopefully youll have a better understanding of your current status and then can proceed to create your own step-by-step plan to transport yourself from where you are to where you want to be.1.
