A recipe for efficiency

Your article both pleases me and makes me sad. My 1st job was a newspaper delivery boy at 12. It was great, my own money, I was a stud. I still work in the newspaper industry but there is no way we can/would hire a 12 year old to deliver papers. Now I have a 14 year old at home this summer and she is board to death as she is too young to get a job (15 is the magic number in some cases). I wonder if we are helping our society or hurting it with some of our protections.... By I remember my 1st job on 2013 05 24

A recipe for efficiency

Laura, as a student of Industrial Management I would have been having sleepless nights about these small things. Galbreath and his "Cheaper by the dozen" did time and motion studies many years ago and Even Tennessee Ernie Ford had hit song "16 Tons" about the efficiencies of everyday work. Keep after the efficiencies---they always make work flow better, make happier workers who really understand their efficient movements. By Bill Burd on 2013 05 24

All in the family

What is this 'article' about? Is it an ad? It can't be about STARTING a company since it was written by someone who inherited one. So is the point "try to have a dad who starts a good company, then try not to screw it up?" Okay. It's probably an ad made to look like an article. By Sam S on 2013 05 24
