      Workplace in 1955
      Walking into an office setting like an attorney’s office, an advertisement agency or even an executive office the smell of smoke would permeate the room. Cigars and cigarettes were common place on many managers’ desks as they puffed away and carried on lively conversations. You might be stricken by the thought that women, other then the secretary, were nearly absent from most management positions. If you paid well she may even light your cigarette for you.You might also be surprised by the amount of unionization at most industrial organizations (Hirsch, 2008). Unions were at their peak in the 1950’s and had strong labor support. By 2006 the situation would have changed to be only 7.5% of the workforce as government regulations stepped in to protect worker rights.As you walk down the

      School's ban of tag underscores why the workplace bullying movement might catch on
      Today's example of society's downward spiral to wussification, which plays right into the hands of the anti-bullying movement, comes from the Washington Post, which reports that a Virginia elementary school has banned tag at recess: Robyn Hooker, principal of Kent Gardens Elementary School, has told students they may no longer play tag during recess after determining that the game of chasing, dodging and yelling "You're it!" had gotten out of hand. Hooker explained to parents in a letter this month that tag had become a game "of intense aggression." ... Many schools nationwide have whittled down playground activities in response to concerns about injuries, bullying or litigation. Dodge ball is a thing of the past in many places, and contact sports are often limited at recess. ... Sin

      ISSUES IN THE WORKPLACE: PILING ON
      I watched the last Democratic debate between Sen. Obama and Sen. Clinton, last night. It aired on ABC. That debate serves as the inspiration for this post because the first two words that popped into my head were, “piling on.” You see, Sen. Obama wasn’t just going up against his rival for the nomination. He was also, apparently, going against Charles Gibson and George Stephanaplous, the moderators. These two seemed to come in prepared to try to swing momentum in Sen. Clinton’s favor by keeping Sen. Obama on the defensive all night with questions about Rev. Wright (and anyone else Sen. Obama knows who has said or done anything questionable), the fact that he doesn’t wear a flag pin, Sen. Clinton’s desperate allegation that he is unelectable, and on Sen. Obama’s much publicized
