Dont read the comments
Dont read the commentsDont read the commentsAdvice from Theodore Roosevelt this Fourth of July weekIt is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his distributions-mix shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.I share this TR quote every year on the 4th of July, for the 16 years since we started. Each year, it seems to get more relevant.In an era of social media, there are more c ritics, haters, naysayers, and negative people than ever before. And the tools they have at their disposal for spreading their fibs, poison, and unhappiness are more powerful than ever before in our history.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moreSo it feels like TR is on to something when he says those cold and timid souls who point out our stumbles, shouldnt be our focus.Rather, this Fourth of July, its worth remembering that it is professionals like you who make this country great. You lead your companies, you lead your teams, you lead your communities, churches and synagogues.And being leaders, you know that someone always has something to say about it. A critique, a carp, a complaint. Seems like everyone else can do your job better than you - at least in their own minds.But, funny, isnt it, that theyre not the ones getting up early, getting the kids off to school, completing the TPS report, wooing the new recruit, talking the client off the ledge, lending a patient ear to an employee in trouble, explaining to the higher-ups why investing for the future is the right move, all while balancing a back-to-back meeting schedule, fighting an inbox that seems to sprout emails, and trying to get in some quality time with the family, the spouse, the squeeze at night.You do understand the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, the worthy cause. You didnt put yourself through the trials of studying hard, working your way through grad school, slogging it through those early years, pushing yourself harder and harder, because you were looking for an easy life.You wanted a successful life.You wanted to make something of yourself.And, thanks to TR and all the Americans who came before and after him, you have the chance.The chance to be devoted. The chance to be worthy.This Fourth of July lets give thanks for TR, lets give thanks for America, and lets give thanks for the co untry we love.Im rooting for you. Marc Cenedella, Founder

Work Sharing to Reduce Layoffs
Work Sharing to Reduce LayoffsWork Sharing to Reduce LayoffsWork sharing, or short-time compensation (STC),is an Unemployment Insurance (UI) program that allows an employer to reduce the number of hours an employee works during a week while ?unemployment compensation makes up some of the difference in income. Work-sharing would typically become available during a business slowdown. Work sharing is a win for both employers and employees. The employer can reduce the number of hours that an employee group works without potentially losing the employees. Employees affected by reduced hours can have their lost wages made up through a portion of their weekly unemployment compensation payments. So, for example, if a company is experiencing less demand for its products, and consequently fewer sales and down revenue, it can submit a plan to its state UI program requesting work sharing to cushion the reduced hours for its employees. Work sharing also allows employers to avoid layoffs and potent ially, the loss of critical employees, who might job search in a situation such as a mandatory job furlough. When the business has weathered the down business climate, it has the skilled and trained workers it needs to get back up to speed quickly. The employees were spared the cost and pain of job searching during tough economic times. They had the income they needed to tend to life and family needs. Key to the Success of Work Sharing The key to the success of work sharing is the income replacement factor for employees. The use of this gestalt of unemployment insurance (UI) enables employers to pursue this option for their employees. An example of work sharing is the employer needs to schedule employees to work four days (32 hours) a week for six months as an alternative to layoffs. The employer develops a plan and applies to the state UI program. If the plan is accepted, employees can then apply for and receive a portion of their normal compensation from the UI program. Beginn ing in February 2012, according to the US Department of Labor Blog, guidance to states wasissued by the departments Employment and Training Administration about thepractice of work sharing. The ability of states to use UI benefits for short-term compensation programs, often known as work sharing, was clarified with the signing of the Middle-Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012. One of the goals of the legislation was tohelp enable states to implement or expand a work sharing program, through the availability of approximately $100 million in federal grants. This also means that states that already have active work-sharing programsmay now be eligible to begin receiving 100% federal reimbursement for working sharing payments. Rules and regulations about work sharing vary by state. But, with the issuance of the Federal guidance in 2012, basic clarity exists in the states. According to the National Employment Law Project, as of October 2014, 26 states had adopted work sharing pr ograms. 24 states had not. As you might expect, during tough economic times, employers use of work sharing skyrockets.

The typical conversation would go something like, why didnt you tell me? Followed by, I assumed that The more egregious garden variety of lies include massive and destructive lies. A massive lie, for example, is promising an employee a promotion or salary increase and later going back on your word.
