What Recruiters Don’t Tell You...
 If you’ve agonized for hours over writing the dreaded cover letter for your resume (and who hasn’t), check out Anthony Meaney’s post on Recruiting.com - and while you’re at it, read the threads.
You may want to rethink the amount of effort you expend on this exercise. Especially if you’re looking for a job with a company that has more than, say, 100 employees. In my recent interview with Heather Hamilton, I asked her if she had a “stack of resumes” on her desk. Heather can’t even remember the last time she looked at a paper resume. Which just might tell you something about cover letters.

No Surprise: CEO is by Far the Best Job.
 “I am not a paranoid deranged millionaire, goddammit, I’m a billionaire.” - Howard Hughes*
According to The Economic Policy Institute: Today's average CEO earns more before lunch in one day than the average minimum wage worker earns all year, with a compensation ratio of 821-to-1. CEO pay continues to climb, while the federal minimum wage has remained unchanged since 1997.
"The average CEO in the United States earned 262 times the pay of the average worker, the second-highest level of this ratio in the 40 years for which there are data. In 2005, a CEO earned more in one workday (there are 260 in a year) than an average worker earned in 52 weeks. CEO pay has exploded and by 2005 the average CEO was paid $10,982,000 a year, or 262 times that of an average worker ($41,861)," according to the EPI

Another Sad Chapter in the Tragic Destruction of AT&T Unfolds
 Bell Labs - Photo: Charles Hayden
Driving up to Bell Labs in Holmdel, New Jersey, was an experience itself. The scale of the building is immense. Like driving up to the Mall of America. This was once the Research Center for America. For all of those who still believe great brands are somehow immune from CEO hubris, and executive egos run amuck, look no further than AT&T. Just ten years ago, AT&T was ranked number 5 on The Fortune 500.
The New York Times reports on the demise of Bell Labs.
“For 44 years, a six-story, two-million-square-foot structure nestled here in a 472-acre exquisitely pastoral setting was a habitat for technological ferment. The vaunted Bell Labs, whose scientists invented the laser and developed fiber optic and satellite communications, touch-tone dialing and cellphones, modems and microwaves, was housed in the glass building, set far off the road, providing the community with some luster — not to mention a tax bonanza. These days, the building's lobby, with its magnificent glass ceiling, is off limits to all but those having formal appointments with Lucent Technologies, which disassembled and dispersed much of Bell Labs after the collapse of the technology market in 2000.

Rethinking the Value of Talent
 Jeffrey Joerres and Dominique Turcq
If companies managed financial assets as carelessly as they do human assets, then shareholders, auditors, and regulators would come down hard on them for inefficient use of funds. Yet although it is commonly accepted that individuals are crucial to an organization’s success, many companies cannot measure or manage their employees’ contributions to corporate value.
