Companies looking to hire older workers

admin — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 09:03:54 +0000

Paula Longfellow of Laguna Niguel wanted a job but wondered if her age – 54 – would be a barrier.

At the encouragement of her two daughters, who work at Wells Fargo Bank, Longfellow applied for a teller’s job and in February was hired.

“I was the oldest among 20-year-olds in the training,” she said. “But (bank supervisors) reassured me and I’ve never felt out of place.”

As the ranks of over-50 Americans swells, employers and older workers are grappling with perceptions of age discrimination in the workplace. Although it’s illegal, older job seekers swear such discrimination exists; many employers swear they are increasingly willing to hire or retain older. Read more

Stock holders need some help

admin — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 08:59:04 +0000

I believe in a day’s work for a day’s pay. I believe the workman is worthy of his hire. I believe extraordinary work deserves extra reward. I believe that in a sinful world, the profit motive of capitalism works because of the prevailing self-interest of people. I believe that in a sinful world, the temptation to cheat and steal ornaments the landscape.

If a clerk embezzles $20,000 from a company, we call it stealing. If a CEO arranges for the board of directors to give him a bonus of $20 million in a year in which the company loses money, we don’t call it anything. A clerk may not legally take money from the stockholders, but the board of directors can. When has a board of directors crossed the line in granting bonuses to a corporate executive? Read more

Outsourcing debate, Tata Nano factory in spotlight

admin — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 17:13:43 +0000

The U.S. presidential race drew more than the usual amount of interest in India last week, after Barack Obama said he would “stop giving tax breaks to corporations that ship jobs overseas” in a speech accepting the Democratic nomination. And it will likely continue to grab a fair share of headlines in coming weeks.
The speech didn’t specifically refer to India or its software industry, but after presidential candidate John Kerry’s anti-outsourcing debate four years ago, Obama’s comment was enough to get the local media’s hackles up. And it was also enough to open up a debate on what Obama’s stance could mean to the Indian information technology services industry, which still earns around 60% percent of its business from the world’s largest economy, if he were to be elected president.
