Coming Next: Facebook Most Important Updates
Are you NOT surprised: now Facebook is announcing imminent layoffs, following a similar announcement from Google a few days ago. Although both companies are avoiding the L-word, in an attempt to remain politically correct to the end, this is what it is: layoffs. Like many oversatiated companies before them, they have reached the point where […]
Could it be Friday again?!
To keep you motivated, here is the new arrival at COMA Gallery: : GO LEAN! poster (that you may download and print).
Productivity Challenges in the Knowledge Economy
Recently, Google announced a productivity improvement crusade. This is not unexpected. Google appears to be following the steps of many tech companies that went from boom to bust pretty quickly. It is noteworthy that they all had similar strategies and roadmaps, as many of them would become deliriously successful (read: obscenely profitable), then stagnate, and […]
Keeping You Motivated: COMA Grand Opening with (de)Motivational Posters
According to research, motivational posters generally do not work. In fact, even the most impressive image loses its motivational force if you are exposed to it for an extended time, and undermines your natural desire to work better. Conversely, if you are exposed long enough to what, in all honesty, is a DEmotivational poster – […]

Strategic Management of Shareholder Value: Coincidences? (part III)
Rogers Communications and Shaw Communications expected to have their merger to be closed by July 31.

Apart from that, nothing else in Rogers Communications’ history, including the recent outage, is a coincidence. Rather, everything is a natural outcome […]

When visiting a new country, one can instantly gauge the level of trust between the population and the government, just by watching people how on the street interact with the police.

Calm Down.
Is it Thursday yet? I just read somewhere that Thursday is the worst day of the week for many employees – especially for those of us who want to establish that divine work-life balance… By Thursday, they may easily blow the lid unless the pressure is released by a 5-to-7 beer or by the prospect […]
Lawsuit Against Glassdoor: a Legal Scam?
Some legal firm from the US approached a local business owner offering him help to file a lawsuit against former employees who continue leaving “defamatory” reviews on Glassdoor. Essentially, they suggest hiring them to wriggle the “offenders’” identities from Glassdoor and then sue the insulters for “substantial damages caused by defamatory reviews,” thereby sending a […]
