Fix your job 27MAR13

IF you're like me you haven't had a raise in many years while the cost of everything has increased substantially and the profit margin of your employer has increased benefiting only upper management. I am thankful I kept my job during the recession but resent the way economic instability has been used by employers to keep employees "in line" through subtle rumblings and rumors circulated throughout the workplace.  The sense of underlying stress, insecurity and uncertainty coupled with income stagnation is not healthy for the company and it's employees. Working America seeks to educate and empower employees, take their survey, at the least it is a chance to vent about your job without fear of reprisal...And if you are interested check out
