Employee Kidnapped from Home and Forced to Work by Manager

I’ve never been in the restaraunt business, so I never really knew how hardcore they are about coming into work. Not sure if the economy is so bad that you’d continue to work for a manager who kidnapped you from home and forced you to go to work, but I’m glad I don’t have to worry about such things.

The victim reported it to the police even though the manager threatened “he would end up dead somewhere” if the police got involved. I wonder why the guy didn’t go to work that day; if he called in sick, was on vacation, or just decided to skip it. I’d also like to know what the manager’s response was.

10 Most Useless College Degrees and Classes

The worth of any college degree is obviously quite debatable, but this list of the 10 most useless college degrees and classes seems pretty spot on.

Some of my favorites from the list include Parapsychology (the study of the paranormal), doctorate of philosophy in Ufology (the study of UFOs), and Star Trek (luckily just a class and not an actual degree). Okay, so perhaps I’ve offended a few paranormal and UFO believers out there, but realize I’m not necessarily saying they don’t exist, just that degrees dedicated to them are quite rediculous. Your degrees are generally supposed to help you find a career in a related field, but I just don’t see too many job postings looking for graduates who have studied ghosts and UFOs.

Woman Wears Resume on Shirt in Hopes of Landing Job

Times are tough all around the world as unemployment rates continue to grow. If you find yourself out of work, you may need to use some unconventional tacticts in order to land an interview. Kelly Kinney is trying just that by walking around with her resume on her shirt.

Okay, so most potential employers would probably think a person wearing a resume on their clothing is probably a little too crazy to work at their company, but Kinney is looking for marketing related jobs, so her idea may just work out. When it gets tougher and tougher to land that dream job, it may be time to try any trick you can think of to stand out amongst the crowd.
