The IRS Is Outsourcing..............................

If anything, here may be yet another reason that you may want to consider working from home!

Although this may be old news, there still may be some people out there that don't know that the IRS is outsourcing their work to areas outside the United States.

What this means is that the IRS is choosing to go the route of paying less money in expenses - ie hiring and paying workers who are paid less money and hiring workers that are outside the United States.

What this means for us is that there are less jobs out there.

I came across a very interesting article online about the IRS outsourcing its work. The article is called Don't Mess With Taxes - Another strike for IRS outsourcing.

Be sure to tell me what you think about this article and the fact that the IRS is outsourcing work to another country.

Don't Use Automated Check-Out Machines at Supermarkets?

Even though this is a working from home blog, I came upon a very interesting blog post online.

The blog post was about automated checkout machines at supermarkets and how they take away from using the cashiers at the supermarket.

I honestly have to say that I am quite torn about this because I can really see both sides of this. Number one I used to be a supermarket cashier myself before I started working at home for myself. And honestly I have to say that I really hated this job. I had to stand on my feet all day, got ruly and rude customers and I hated working 6 days a week with only one day off.

On the plus side, however, it was a steady and regular paycheck!

Now when I shop at the supermarket I used the automatic/self-serve registers because I like bagging my own groceries. But I know that my opinion is only one and I am curious to hear what others have to say about this.

Do the self-serve automatic registers take away from the cashiers that work at the supermarket? What is your opinion of this?

Survey Says That Nearly Half Of People Are Considering Quitting Their Jobs!

I found another interesting article online about people who hate their job!

Here is an excerpt:

"To no one's surprise, the top reason employees are unhappy is that they're not making enough money"

There is also included in the article a list of common mistakes that small business owners are guily of which would probably be a big benefit to those you who are thinking about starting your own business.

I do know that when I was working for others I wasn't very happy. Even when I was a DJ and I usually worked alone, there were times when office "politics" got in the way.

Working From Home - Another Reason Why!

GM Workers Face Possible Strike!

It really is a sad thing when your job security is dependent on someone or something else. In this case it being the company that you work for.


Such was not the case in the past where when you had a job you would have that same job until you retired.

The one interesting thing about this is if the workers do go on strike they will receive $200 a week in "strike" pay - that's the first time I have ever heard of someone being paid to be on strike. But since this is such a big union the funds to be able to pay such a salary is probably coming out of the membership dues that the workers are paying to the union.
