In today’s economic situation it is almost impossible to understand why people who currently have jobs and a means to pay their bills, would ever leave their current jobs. It is not like we are still back in the 90’s and all it took to find a
job was to throw a rock and pick what ever it hits as our
employment. Today’s economic market is one where, when a person is
unemployed, the status of being unemployed is one that lingers for a long time. Yet people are still leaving their jobs and the reasons include some examples such as unfair working conditions, abusive employers, unethical practices, drama at the work place, dead end jobs, and some who are fortunate find better opportunities.
A very common reason for quitting that I have come across is the abusive boss. An abusive boss can cause a person to quit because they can make the working environment a nightmare. More commonly it has to do more with personality, as some employers can show a lack of professionalism. If you were to imagine yourself in this sort of working environment, imagine how you would feel if you were dealing with a boss who lacked the manners to treat you properly, who constantly under-minded everything you did, or made you their perpetual scapegoat. Under these hellish conditions, would you not also leave?
What if the pay is very low? Because of the recent economic situation, a lot of the jobs that are available come at the cost of a very low pay for a massive quantity of work. These jobs are often a dead end. Though some people would stay because of the comfort of having a steady pay, many do choose to leave as they find that they are capable of better. What they come to realize is that in order for them to be able to have greater opportunities, they must take a step backwards and quit before they are stuck in an endless spiral, which is only going to waste their time
Though a tough economy often means that people would be willing to lower their standards in order to find work, what it does not mean is that people would be willing to sell themselves short and do damage to their own integrity and accept being treated less than they believe that they are worth. Because of this, even while our nation is in a recession, people are still willing to leave their current employers rather then deal with unfair treatment.

On Thursday, May 20th, 2010, Millennium Personnel was invited to attend the book signing and press release of Souls of My Young Sisters, a book written by our dear friends, Candace Sandy and Dawn Marie Daniels. Gladly, many joined us in celebrating the release of an extremely moving, empowering and inspiring book, which tells the stories of young women’s journeys in their conquest of victory over adversity. The event had an amazing turnout, with people such as Nicole Paultre Bell (Sean Bell’s fiancée) in attendance. I can’t express enough how amazing it was to meet such strong, wonderful and beautiful women. I definitely had a great time and appreciate the contributors’ efforts to inspire strength, confidence and success in the lives of those currently facing hardships. I must also add that I enjoyed the most delicious cake donated by the very talented Pastry Chef, Emily Cotto of Pastry Delights by Emily. Believe me when I tell you that she practically brought out the little pigs in us; having us crave for second and even third pieces. Yum, Yum, YUMMY!
Please pick up the book today. It will leave you with a sense of encouragement and assurance. Also, if you are in need of a sweet treat for your special occasion, please feel free to contact Emily Cotto, Pastry Chef at emily.cotto@gmail.com.
