The annual premium for individual coverage has risen more than $225 per year on average, and family coverage has risen more than $700 per year on average from 2010 to 2022. Statistically speaking, prices for healthcare grow much faster than inflation and that combined with increasing employee demands has companies, both large and small, forced to make difficult decisions. […]
There is simply not enough time in the day to meet life’s demands. Aside from working 40 +/- hours per week, we stretch ourselves so thin just to keep up. Pressures to perform come from every direction – play with our animals, keep our kids fulfilled, spend quality time with family and friends, maintain our homes (i.e., laundry, dishes, house projects), keep active, embrace a healthy lifestyle, somehow get 7-8 hours of sleep every night and don’t forget about your partner. […]

Searching for a job, whether currently employed or not, is taxing, and due to unfortunate mass layoffs, there are many qualified candidates who now find themselves in the “job seeker” category. We may be biased, but establishing and maintaining contact with a trusted recruiter is always a good idea. There is no fee and no obligation to further a search until you see fit – and an unforeseen layoff seems like a great time to start.

Being “fashionably late” is an excuse that people who are always late give to make themselves feel better, and it isn’t acceptable to your employer. Unfortunately snoozing your alarm 3 or 4 times and rushing out the door is an easy habit to adopt and a very hard one to break. We are creatures of habit, and we tend to lean toward the solution that gives us the most satisfaction now even if it means difficulty later.
