Chrysler’s Crisis

Chrysler is on the chopping block again, joining GM with tales of corporate survival — including having weak GM purchase Chrysler as one of the options for survival.
Chrysler, in the past five years or so, has downsized by some 40,000 jobs and has announced its intention of downsizing by 10,000+ more.
No matter what happens with […]

A Jet Blue Perspective

When I was enjoying myself in sunny Costa Rica on vacation, the United States East Coast enjoyed one of those great consecutive snow blowouts that snarled traffic, cancelled school, and created general havoc for everyone.
Jet Blue got caught in the crosshair as well, stranding passengers on planes out on the runways for hours, canceling a […]

Change Your Perspective to Pimp Your Work

Here’s a great one from Kevin Eikenberry in his post “What Could I Stop Doing?” –

I met with a new friend today. He is the Vice President for Business Development at a bank. He told me he made a decision about six months ago. His decision?

Contracts Pimp Your Work?

One of the principles of contract workers is exactly that: the contract. The contract governs the relationship between the person, the project, and the company for the work being done.
Contracts, of course, are two-way streets when it comes to the relationship with the company paying your for the work. You can request what you want […]

Resistance is futile: Reflection time

One of the things I decided to do for myself the year before last was to attend one of those GTD: Roadmap seminars from David Allen. The place was packed with people from all over the country coming into the seminar — I was fortunate in that I was able to simply take a bus […]

Resistance is futile: System Check

When you are doing your work, you are really following a process. Either your process or the one the business set up for you to follow.
Need to get some supplies? If you work for a company, for example, that could mean anything from going to speak with Paul to order the supplies to going online […]

Resistance is futile: Attraction

Since it is Valentine’s Day, I thought it would make a bit more sense to talk about “attraction” today than “resistance.” Have to go with the flow, you know, here on Pimp Your Work!
Over time, no matter how strong your passion about your work, your life, or your mate, resistance will start to build and […]

Resistance is futile: Passion

You’re passionate about your life and work, aren’t you? You’re supposed to be.
Yet, here you are, dragging your sorry behind into work and barely getting anything done in spite of the fact this is the work you were most excited about doing in years. Ignoring all those cool tricks and toys that Tris has been […]
