The leader chooses a career of any sort and starts with: What is my job? What is my job? Can you guess? Can you guess? Then based on the career he or she chose, he sings some clues about the career so the participants…

In theory, I claimed to understand the mechanics of what was happening with it every two weeks. But in reality, it made about as much sense to me as supply-side economics. And just like I am now with the new tax plan here in the U.S., I was surely unsure how it would all eventually trickle down to me. I understood that it was my money, but I literally had no idea how or when I would get…

Role Stress and Work family Conflict Literature on conflict between work and family roles suggested that work-family conflict exists when : (a) time devoted to the requirements of one role makes it difficult to fulfill requirements of another; (b) strain from anticipation in one role makes it difficult to fulfill requirements of another; and (c) specific behavior required by one role make it difficult to fulfill the requirements of another (Greenhaus && Beutell, 1985).

After 38 years with the State of Missouri working in the Children’s Division saving children from child abuse and neglect, Mary Murney retired. Mary planned to work a full 42 years; however, her manager drove her out the door with his arbitrary tactics of management. To make matters worse, he despised older workers; both male and female. Even though Mary literally held the division together and got things done, the manager saw no value in her. Off she went, out the door, shaking like a…

that I could handle it by myself. On top of the normal work that I expected, Mr. Fordiani tasked me with something that I thought would be fairly simple: as a first for Nashoba's team, I was going to design a vision tracking system that would allow the robot to shoot a ball into a small goal from up to twenty feet away. As the six weeks of build season began to pass, I realized that the key word in that last sentence was "thought." The work began building up on other parts of the robot and I…
