American Workers Beware

Who's Sorry Now?

Looks like American workers are getting (and maybe deserving) the #^$& kicked out of them at every end. Do you feel like you're working harder but getting less done? Turns out you're right. Americans work more, seem to accomplish less (Yahoo here) says that we're just spinning in circles and that technology is not your friend. "Technology has sped everything up and, by speeding everything up, it's slowed everything down, paradoxically," said John Challenger, chief executive of Chicago-based outplacement consultants Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc." Is this why our government is happy to outsource and insource jobs to other countries?

Oh, and don't even think HR is your friend.
